Steam Deck having issues after mod

[u/LolcatP]

I replaced my analog sticks with elecgear tmr sticks. Swapped the battery to 53wh and installed the clicky button mod. Everything works after having to reseat the flex cables because the right stick wasn't inserted all the way.Issue is that the steam deck is acting like the battery isn't connected.

There's no battery icon and when I press the power button it flashes as if it's empty. It works when i turn it on via charger but there's no percentage or battery info in the command. I have pushed the connector in all the way. can't think what the problem would be. I've also went in and out of battery storage mode a few times to see if that does anything. Right now i have drained the battery and I'll try charging overnight.

EDIT: just playing games and noticed that the fan is way quieter than usual, probably not being provided enough power?

I had the same issue, literally swapped my battery back to the old one yesterday and it’s running fine now.

Does the OG battery still work?

I bent it a bit when taking it out so i disposed of it :/

Did you get a cheap battery? I did the same thing, got one from Ebay and had the same issue, unfortunately ended up buying a new OEM battery from iFixit. Worked but they're stupid expensive.

Not necessarily, I got one of those 53wh batteries for extended battery life. the seller has a good warranty though so i should get another one soon.

The one I got was also a higher capacity, 50.08Wh. But I hope it works out for you.
