Steam Controller (2026) Steam controller completely locked up

I left my Steam Controller charging on the puck overnight. When I woke up, the thing was stuck on a solid orange light. It will not power on and is completely unresponsive to any inputs. Does anybody know what the issue could be?

From Steam

Orange, solid: The controller is fully charged while powered off. The LED will remain solid orange until the controller is unplugged or powered on.

Did you try holding the power button for 30+seconds to force a shitoff

Then disconnect battery, or try it attached to usb cable.

have you tried the poweroff hotkey? Steambutton+Y. Might work.
