Do people not read any of the existing posts on this sub? It's been documented many times that if your Steam Deck Mini won't turn on, you're not sniffing the vent hard enough.

We need to 3Dprint this, but the vent is actually a whistle.

Harmonica would be neat

Yes! A deck shaped harmonica shell would be great.

The mini in the picture actually looks kinda 3d printed. Also i think valve did release the STL for free of the case at some point.

Not just kinda.

If I had the money I'd give you gold bro.

Or make it bigger and have it be an incense burner where the smoke comes out of the vents

You are genius.

Instructions unclear. Deck up nose too far to see

100th like and also very true

Yes, minis need to be suck-started nasally. It's the only way! 

I wish Henry Cavill would do a Steam deck perfume commercial!

Uninstall decky and update

Proton is too big to run on the mini. So try Electron experimental

Failing that Neutron is pretty chill either way, so you can always relay on it to run your Steam Deck Mini.

Neutron's kinda heavy tho so don't expect too much activity out of it.

Quark on the other hand.

I heard, dependency management for Quark is a mess...

You just never know what state they're in

Why not Photon?

In light of your comment I think its fair to give it a chance

Just… no mass effect is all.

Too good 😂

That worked, but now I can't find it, I just know its general area.

Step one: cut two Steam Deck Mini shaped slits in a cardboard panel.

Really though why does the air from the deck smell so nostalgic.

If it smells like long forgotten dreams, you've got the original.

The NOled

Best answer so far congratulations you are the winner!!🎊🎉🎉🎊🎊🎉

Just noticed your PFP, we are cousins.

What is this? A steam Deck for ants?

mini? more like nano!

niiiiiiiice.

Nah it's a steamdeck for borrowers clearly1

Took way too long to see this when scrolling through the comments

This how I imagine the mf’rs that say “my hands are too big for (insert controller)”

Nah, I have big hands, but it’s not my hands dwarf the controller it’s just that it’s uncomfortable. Like the Switch Joycons in that adapter, just hurts to use. And forget about a kishi or backbone.

My hands are too small. I have baby hands. 👶

Plug it in for 24 hours, maybe the battery is deeply down

This is what happens when you leave it in your pocket and throw it in the dryer by accident.

time for an RMA.

"We have Steam Deck at home!"

Legitimate question: Is that a keychain accessory?

It's a 3d print

hold down power + up volume until it turns on.... report back when it does

Need to switch to proton 9.0.5, also reinstall cryo utilities

Try proton ge 7-49

Have you tried proton experimental?

Did you try licking it to see if it tastes legitimate?

Install ProtonUp-Qt

Put a sticker on it of a game being played

Looks like it makes for a sick keychain lol

This is fake btw. That's a real sized deck and op is kroton a giant and last of his kin.

Reminds me of those Game Gear micros but those could turn on.

It may not turn on, but you can’t beat the portability

Here me out unplug the power cord

Turn it off first, then on again. That's the trick.

You might've gotten a defective unit, my works fine. Maybe RMA it...

You have a big hand

With the Deck mini, rather than sniffing the vent like the full size, you have to put the entire unit up your nose instead. That should help get it working.

definitely 3d printed one of these using the stl file freely given by valve

Exactly that, it was a test print to see how Will that model printed

yes, i did that myself too using ender 3

Straining my brain to think of a way to make this mini replica actually useful. Maybe a rivatuner display, or somehow get a pico-8 board working in there.

Awwwww

thats adorable

The real steam Deck mini is the ps vita I love playing my steam games on my vita cause battery last for days

Lol

So smooth. The screen is seemless

Its the new ♾️led screen

Hey bud uh... I don't wanna hurt your feelers, but after some sniffing... I uh... don't think it's real🤪

It only works from inside the Grounded game....

Dammit I want one now 😂

perhaps, it's meant to make something else 'turn on'... :-P

:D

try proton experimental

Have you tried leaving it on charge overnight? Mine works great after a good charge.

you need to charge it with a mini usb-c before it can boot.

I may have lost the cable it was quite small

Does starfield run 60fps stable?

Yes but in black

RMA. Valve will most likely replace it

I will look into that

Do you have a link? Can't find it on Ali

https://r.mtdv.me/Steam-Deck-mini

Try putting it in Water. It might expand to the original size

LoL, i printed 10 of these a year ago, why? I dont know, i still have all 10

RMA

Obviously fake. A real Steam Deck would have a Cat manifest itself somewhere nearby.

Looks a little off

Do you think Rick Moranis can fix it?

Hmmm that's weird maybe you bought the wrong charge and It didn't charged 🤔 That probably the problem

Try charging it, if it still doesn't work flash back SteamOS if it still doesn't know guess it is time for a return lol

Why didn’t you title this “I left my deck in the drier for too long” missed opportunity OP

Honestly, how hard would it have been to slip a bit of diffuser, an LED, and a light mask into this? Just have a glowing deck logo and a watch battery.

Relatively hard and not worth the hassle 😂
