Cool, can we get a replacement part# for the screen, and can it be swapped into the original steam decks?

I would be surprised if this would be possible. It seems that the revision is quite substantial.

Apparently the new OLED screen will be available through iFixit

Unfortunately Gamers Nexus has stated that new OLED screen will not be compatible with the old models. Perhaps there could be a third party solution though.

Doubt, a lot of the internals also changed by at least a bit

They already said that's a no unfortunately

I'm pretty sure the new deck's screen is bigger, so I doubt that it'll fit.
