Exactly that. I get the impression that some commenters here didn't even bother to watch the video or read the description / article. Valve will provide spare parts, and from what I saw so far, it seems repairable. If they don't "dongle" things (looking at you, Apple!), it will still be servable.

at the very least this should guarantee that there'll be repair shops that can fix common steam deck issues.

I wish more companies, and people for that matter, would take this "don't do this, but if you do here's how" approach.
