The screen swap was easy peasy, the hardest part was getting the old screen out. Mine was already broken, and I wasn’t keeping the front plastic, so I didn’t have to worry about being too careful, except around the top edge where the mics and ambient light sensor are.
The case swap was a bear, took forever. I’m fairly handy, but the whole process took almost 4 hours. My buddy was doing his in tandem with me and he was over 5 hours, and that’s with me lending a hand towards the end.
It looks great, in my opinion, and I’d do it again, I’d just start earlier in the day 😬
As far as the OLED goes, so far it looks good. The stock brightness slider isn’t working, it must be a software thing? I have had zero time to look into it. I haven’t even played a single game on it since doing the swap. I’ll report back when I have time to give it a fair shake.
Thank you sm forposting about this, I didn’t even know it existed.
I think I will wait a few months and see whether or not they make it to custom production and resolve issues like not being able to adjust the brightness properly in Gamescope and then think about whether I actually want to buy it since I don’t use my Deck much…
But when I do it’s mostly for relatively low-powered games and indie titles so the 1080p upgrade might be rly neat too
You’re very welcome.
The creator seems to be pretty on top of things, I bet we’ll get some fixes before too long.
