I have run into an unusual problem. I left my deck to download BG3 while I was at work and when I returned it had crashed. After rebooting it, I started getting crashes when trying to uninstall a game to make more room for BG3. After two crashes it refused to even boot into bios. I tried resetting bios by unplugging the battery and pressing the power button a few times to discharge it then replugging the battery and booting into Bios, but now it won't even recognize my boot device and none of the controls are responsive. This is really weird to me because I have been playing plenty of games with my undervolt active and it seemed pretty stable. Has anyone else run into this?

It kinda seems like the undervolt was stable until it wasn't. Have you tried a recovery USB or anything?

I haven't tried a recovery bios or anything yet, I need to find my USB drive haha. The main problem I can see is that none of the controls on the deck do anything in the bios screen. I can boot into it but I can't move the selection or actually select anything. Even attaching a keyboard doesn't let me select anything. Ugh it's so frustrating.
