The trick with screws that go into plastic posts is to pop the screw in place and turn anticlockwise. You will feel the screw fall into it's original threads, that way you don't chew up the material inside the post. It will be as strong as before. Always use this method for plastic and wood.

9:59 No, the battery is not only 1000 mAh larger than the Swtich battery. The Switch battery 4310 mAh but at 3.7V, the Steam Deck battery is 5200mAh but at 7.7V. Which means the Steam Deck battery is 40 Wh while the Switch battery is only around 16 Wh. So the correct way to measure is that the Steam Deck battery is 24 Wh larger than the Switch battery, around 2.5X bigger.

When you reinstall screws into plastic there's a technique: turn the screw backwards until you feel a little click then stop, that's the screw dropping into its original thread in the hole. Then when you screw it in you're not damaging the threads by cutting a new groove. As you thread the screw in, just turn it until it stops, do not "torque it" you'll just damage the threads.

Quick tip for all self-tapping screws for plastic - the best way to avoid cross threading is to very gently press down on the screw when inserting it and twist as if you were loosening it. Youll eventually feel a little 'click,' where you can then begin to screw down. This will always align you back to the start of the already existing threaded portion of the screw hole.

Interesting words from steam relating to the self tapping screws. Yes if you just trry to place the screw again then it could be bad. My opinion to that: Put the screw in place, slightly press it with the scrrewdriver and first turn backwards until you feel the screw popping in a little bit. Thats the point where the thread is going to be in the same exact spot as when it was installed the very first time from the manufacturer. If you do so, I think it will be the same strength and stiffness as before disasembling. In other words: Just think before you act...

Depends on how you do it. If you just mash the screws in like it seems a lot of people does then they will soon be stripped out, so 2 to 4 times perhaps. But if you are a bit careful, starts by turning the screw counter clockwise until it falls down into the old thread then it would probably be good for 20 to 100 times. That also require that you don't use an electric screwdriver, doesn't torque the screws like a madman, don't press the screws down like a gorilla when unscrewing them and that you stop unscrewing the first time the screw jumps the threads. So the easy answer is that it will vary...

But it's nothing what a microscopic amount of vaseline on contact points between the plastics cannot solve. ;) Also those rubber buttons will eventually wear out.

The SSD is just standard NVMe, used in a bog standard way. 2230 is still an uncommon size, but they're out there. If you're upgrading to a bigger one, to save you having to reinstall/etc., go ahead and dd the contents of the old one to the new one. You can then use a partition editor in desktop mode (I like GParted, but I'm sure there's a KDE equivalent that looks prettier, they do the same job) to extend your largest partition to the size of your new SSD, so the deck can actually make use of all that space. Don't chuck your old SSD until it's all finished though, on occasion partition operations can go wrong and cause data loss.

No pull tabs is probably the only complain I can make about the repairability. Big thumbs up for all the effort. I’ve preordered the 512GB version, knowing that I can replace the ssd myself pretty easily and it’s much cheaper to buy the 64GB version and get a 1TB ssd, just to support their effort.

Looks like it's not overly complicated to replace parts if you know what you're doing.

My main game for the last few years has been Crossout. If you love crafting unique vehicles for a Road Warrior type game play, I highly recommend it.
