I suppose it could be a random hardware failure, but I literally touched nothing not listed in the iFixit SSD guide; the Start button itself (the three lines) isn’t anywhere near there!

I’ve already tried moving back and forth in the beta & stable software channels to no effect.

Edit: it’s technically the “menu” button, but I think it gets often confused with the button labeled with the word “Steam”

      I tried that and no luck. I could disassemble the entire R side to see if there’s random physical damage, but that’s a huge stretch. The case wasn’t opened before this, and the device has never been dropped or mishandled.
