Does anyone know what could be causing my Deck to wake up? I'm thinking it has to do with the new feature to wake on Bluetooth activation, but the controllers are not even on when this happens.

Could you give more detail?

I am....assuming you are running the stock SteamOS?

I would say wake on BT activation is a good guess...

If your BT controllers are not on though... could maybe be someone else nearby trying to connect to your Steam Deck with their own BT?

Or ... maybe its... something else entirely causing it to wake?

Good point, I should have added that info up front.

I'm running stock SteamOS, and it's an early LCD model. It even happens when I'm home alone.

Hey, speaking of "early lcd models", how is your power button holding up? Mine is getting flaky. Have to press it a couple of times, maybe tilt it a little, to get it to work.

Omg, this is happening to me too, since a few weeks ago. I'm afraid it may stop working some day.
