Steam deck bricked.
Ive been having an issue. I am working at sea. Playing wind waker on cemu on the middle of the Atlantic.

Anyway. I updated my deck to the latest preview branch. Don't recall what version. The update was a week ago maybe less.

Noticed the battery drained a bit faster after the update. Just a large drop in capacity. From 99% full to like 65% after turning on the device. And playing for 5 or 10 mins. Played wind waker until 5%.

Then my SD turned off by itself. And I inserted the charging cable. (Beeping sound) Waited half a day to pick it back up noticing it didn't turn on. I charged it another 8 hrs. - nothing. Only the beeping sound when charging the device. Also sometimes my deck didn't start unless the power cable was plugged. But whatever. That's passed the point. Now it doesn't boot at all.

(Adapter connected)

I tried -vol + . . . & Power button. This gives that SD beep sound once after 8 to 9s of holding the buttons. Then I let go of the power button. And it will beep again after 8 to 9s. But no action after holding down - vol. + . . . For another minute.

(No adapter connected)

Without the adapter I don't hear a beep using the 3 button combo. Just that charging light blinks every 8/9s or so.

Does anyone have experience with this? If so I'd like to know what you did to remedy it.

I like to add that my battery wasn't calibrated. And steam support gave me the advice on how to charge/reboot it. So that the battery would be working properly. And hold a charge. This was when I received my SD in may.

Friendly greetings.
