Det var i slutet av förra året som Valve rullade ut en Limited Edition-variant av Steam Deck OLED, som är deras toppmodell och kostar 6999 kronor. Denna specialmodell var tillverkad av semitransparent, mörkgrå plats och vi kan väl vara rörande överens om att det är den överlägset snyggaste bärbara PC:n med inbyggd skärm, på marknaden. Tyvärr verkar den levereras med en del dryga problem då flertalet användare nu vittnar om att den transparenta plasten spricker runt skruvarna.
Via Reddit: (länk)
"I woke up this morning to an unfortunate surprise. The plastic shell next to the vent cracked and now the section near the SD card slot is wobbly. I've never dropped my deck and I always store it in the provided case when not in use. I'm hoping it's not a quality issue with the translucent shell material, so I'm posting this in case other people with the LE experience the same thing. I think I'm going to contact support and see if there's anything they'll do."
En annan användare kommenterar då:
"Wow. I have these cracks too it turns out. That is some bullshit right there."
Och en annan hakade på:
"Mine has started cracking in the same spot by the vent intake. Valve initially declined to warranty it because it's cosmetic. Escalated it and pointed out that this is wide spread by sending them these reddit posts and they asked some follow up questions about if I've ever opened it (which I haven't) and when I noticed it. Waiting to hear back for now."
Och:
"I checked mine and it happened to me as well. Oh no."
Och:
"Mine did the same thing at the same spot last week!! I was positive I didn't do anything harmful whatsoever but didn't search to see if it happened to others. Glad to know it was just me. The other thread appears like you can RMA it but I just don't feel like being without it for several weeks over a stress crack."
Och:
"Dang, just took a close look at my LE and there is a tiny crack starting to form in the exact same spot."
Verkar som sagt vara ett genomgående problem:
"Yup, it's a thing that's happening to multiple people. The cracks all start at the same spot and spread in the same direction. Likely a molding issue or an over tightened screw. People have been able to get them repaired by Valve but you might need send them these threads as evidence (there are several more if you search for "crack oled")."
Crack, crakeli-crackie crack-crack!
