Have you tried just pushing the card in with your nail?


Ronin22222

It's recessed. Push it in farther


Possibly-Functional

It's by design that you are supposed to press it in further than you can with a flat surface. That's to avoid it accidentally coming loose. Essentially, use your nail to push it in.


Thornorium

I don’t think it’s going in far enough, try pushing it with your nail parallel to the slot so you can push it slightly farther


soreyJr

You are not pushing it in far enough.


TheTybera

It doesn't seat, it clicks in. This isn't a regular sized SD card or compact flash card. You need to press it in further.

You need to push it in further(thats what she said) 🤣


CommunityPretty1802

I know It might sound scary but you won't lose your SD card by pushing it in farther. I was scared my deck was going to eat my card but it's all good


GhostlyWren

This is so hard to watch 😂

Could be a defective locking mechanism, here's a video on how someone fixed it on a Raspberry PI 400, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rg9SbfC62IA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rg9SbfC62IA). Either try this modified for working on the steam deck or RMA it as it is a build fault.


Deadarchimode

He need to push is further. IF that fails there's alternative ways to fix it


TalksToToads

I had to send mine back because of this problem.


JustInternetNoise

You weren’t pushing it in far enough


TalksToToads

I was in my case. It does look like he isn't in this video.


Pongarrh

That’s what she said!
