You can still replace every part. It has always been subject to availability.

Better than paying $349 from Ifixit, if they ever get stock.

How does a part not being available mean that Valve lied about being able to replace every part?

Use the wayback machine, ifixit had a press release announcing motherboards, then never actually listed the item. It was nothing more than PR spin to generate some clicks. It's likely given newer decks use a differently shaped board that Valve were never able to solidify stock to make it happen. Instead of just being honest they've tried to bury any mention of it.

which sucks, because my motherboard's just gone pop and I have a full shell replacement :/ no idea how I'm gonna get that fixed

Valve didn’t make a statement about it, but have stopped selling motherboards to repair shops.

They determined that it was less profitable than ghosting people on steam support until they buy a new Steam Deck.
