How to Boot Your Steam Deck into Recovery Mode
To boot your Steam Deck into recovery mode, first, make sure your device is completely turned off. Then, hold down the volume down button and press the power button until the Steam logo appears. Let go of both buttons, and you should see the recovery options on your screen. It's like performing magic, but instead of pulling a rabbit out of a hat, you're diving into the techy guts of your Steam Deck!

Just press the volume down and power button at the same time when your Steam Deck is off. Hold them until you see the Steam logo. Bam! Welcome to recovery mode.
Honestly, I've done this, and while it sounds simple, make sure your Steam Deck is fully off before you try. If it's sleeping, you'll just wake it up instead of booting into recovery mode. True story!
Why bother? Just use it as it is. Recovery mode is overrated unless you really messed something up.
