New OLED left thumbstick drift in <24hrs...

[jgkg]

Just opened my steam deck yesterday and tested it out on CP2077 to see if there were any issues. It was playing great all of yesterday, then I left it to charge on my desk overnight. When I grabbed it this morning, in the middle of playing my left thumbstick is now in a permanently drifted down position.

Already tried restarting, low level calibration through desktop mode, and factory reset

Have you checked using the SteamOS controller test? It's in Settings -> Controller -> Test Device Inputs.

Yup, have checked both - device input test shows it's drifting towards bottom right. Deadzone adjustment doesn't help with not being able to put the thumbstick in the up position.

You seem tp be describing two different things. Just to clarify, you said "not being able to put the thumbstick in the up position". Are you saying when you do the Input test, pushing the thumbstick "Up" does not register any input?

Sorry, it registers the input. The highest input I can get is to the controller deadzone, and when checking the deadzone the base position is well below the default deadzone bottom border

Take screenshots of your config screen showing the lack of full movement and start a support ticket with Valve. If you are used to small electronics, you could open it up and see if there is either some restriction to the thumbstick or just unplug the connections to it and replug them in to see that addresses the issue.
