Yeah batteries with adhesive is so stressful to pull just cos you know you can’t puncture that thing. I haven’t done a battery for steam deck but some old phones I have with adhesive and a q tip with 91% isopropyl will help break the adhesive down and strip so you don’t have to use a heat gun or anything. Do so with care but it’ll help things along

First thing I did when I bought mine was to open up my Steam Deck and put in a new hard drive.
Most difficult thing was some of the screws felt over-tightened.
That was about it to be honest. I also heard the battery glue is really strong so I’m not looking forward to that in the future for me.
