You could try flashing the recovery image and re-imaging your deck. https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/1B71-EDF2-EB6D-2BB3
I'd contact valve support if that doesn't work, they've always been great whenever I've interacted with them.
I'd love to try that but I'm also dealing with a separate issue where my laptop is refusing to charge so it's dead and unusable. the deck is my only computer with power right now.
It's worth noting that if you boot into the recovery image on an OLED deck, it can't connect to wifi 6 networks without crashing the wifi chip. It's missing later fixes that valve released to fix wifi 6 networks on the OLED.
It's still usable, but any OLED owners will want to stick to 2.4Ghz networks during recovery in my experience.
