SteamDeck Boot Problems

If this belongs in another section plz move. Anywho...

One day, I had to reboot my Steam Deck for a reason I don't recall at this time, and now it won't boot again. I just get the logo splash screen, and it's perpetual. I tried to boot into the recovery environment using several methods to put it on a flash drive, but no dice. I was thinking there's an issue with booting in general, so I defaulted the BIOS. I wanted to update the BIOS, but Valve decided to make that available in SteamOS and not the BIOS itself as well. Upon enabling verbose and slow boot, the logo no longer shows up, nor any verbose text, so it's doing absolutely nothing at all. It sounds to me like the BIOS is bricked in such a way that booting just isn't a thing anymore. That would've been my conclusion if it wasn't for the fact I was able to boot into my Ventoy/YUMI key. I even managed to get into Windows PE among a few other things. I'm thoroughly baffled as to why it will boot literally anything but Steam images. Any help would be appreciated.
