Basically the title. Sometimes I turn on the deck and the SD card icon is in the top bar, it shows it’s connected but doesn’t see any games on it and prompts me to format (and also shows it only has 30mb of space). Rebooting and/or removing and reinserting the SD card seems to fix it until the next time. I’m really not sure why, unless the card is failing and I need a new one? This happened on both my old lcd and the new oled deck so I don’t think it’s the port. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    This is not an SD card issue – I think it is SteamOS related

    I was one of the few to get my hands on the SteamDeck OLED before Valve stable released SteamOS 3.5.x, and every time it would boot with the SD pre-inserted, it would complain my SD card wasn’t formatted (quick removal and re-insert fixed the issue); however, my Steam Deck LCD did not have this problem until I eventually updated it to SteamOS 3.5.x
