My Steam Machine will not display a picture anymore… so that’s not good. Holding the power button doesn’t seem to do anything so… did I brick this thing trying to go into desktop mode?

Unplugging and plugging it back in didn’t work. Starting to get nervous with this thing.

Got it back, thank God. I think the HDMI did something weird. I restarted my TV and it worked, but Switch, PS5 and AppleTV worked totally fine and displayed picture but Steam Machine just wouldn’t do the HDMI handshake correctly for some reason.

Craaaap… tried to go into Desktop mode and same thing again. There’s something in the Desktop mode transition that the HDMI is doing.

If it does it again, I think I’m just gonna try completely resetting to factory settings. I swear to God though, it’s always something with this thing.
