Asus ROG Ally: ASUS ROG Ally: Overheated uPI Semi uP9030P – Looking for a replacement

Sun, 19 Jan 2025 05:09:08 -0700

***

Hello everyone,

I have an issue with a chip in my ASUS ROG Ally Z1 Extreme. When I try to turn it on, the chip gets extremely hot (over 150°C). Even after fixing a short circuit in the circuit board, which I caused myself, the chip still overheats, leading me to believe it’s damaged. The device only lights up orange and doesn’t turn on.

According to iFixit, the chip is most likely the uPI Semi uP9030Q, responsible for power management. However, I couldn’t find it online as a replacement part.

Details about the chip:

Marking: UP9030P4G1223
Device: ASUS ROG Ally Z1 Extreme
Problem: The chip overheats (over 150°C), even after fixing the short circuit.
Does anyone have experience with this chip or know where I can find it as a replacement part? Are there any alternative chips that might be compatible?
Thanks a lot for any help! 🙏

Thank you, @oldturkey03! Here’s the Alibaba link where I found the IC: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/U...

I’ve also attached an image of the damaged IC and its markings (see below).

Do you think the QFN version will work as a replacement for my device? If anyone has a datasheet for the uPI Semi uP9030Q or a similar IC, please share it!

Asus ROG Ally: left stick only moved up and down

Fri, 15 May 2026 13:23:36 -0700

my asus rog ally was working perfectly for a couple weeks. and then it started where the left stick only moved up and down. so I went into the bios and I saw the mouse cursor kept moving to the right. and this is because of the left stick! if I pushed on the left stick to the left, it would stop the mouse cursor but it couldn't move it back to the left. once the cursor gets to the right edge of the screen, it's stuck and you can only move up and down. if you switch to a different tab or page in the bios, you'll see the hand cursor keep moving to the right.

Asus ROG Ally: USB-C port not charging with power delivery

Sun, 12 Jul 2026 23:37:32 -0700

A few days ago, the usb-c port of my ally had stopped charging with the provided adapter. It still connects (a white LED shows up when connected in sleep mode), but it will not charge it, no matter what side of the usb I used.

Right now it only charges with low power cables, the kind that you would use for phones, and (as far as I know) only works on one side of the cable. Obviously it means that I can't use it and charge at the same time, I'd have to wait about 8-9 hours just for it to charge 60%. Non-charging cables work as well, but again only on one side.

I took the ally to two repair shops, both of which did nothing to fix the problem (thinking the adapter was the problem). I think it has to do with the port itself, or somehow a bios update. I hope this could get fixed soon, I don't want have to return it.

----------

Edit: Thanks to JiYoW (@luunfmr2mlkysbv) for helping me out! The solution is to try and switch the "batter care" on the MyAsus app on and off a couple of times, and also the full-charge mode as well just to be safe. Then fully turn off the ally, plug in the charger, and then turn it back on, Very simple!

I'll keep this question open in case the solution doesn't work for someone else, and if others have others ways to fix this (hopefully without going into too many repair shop beforehand 😅)

Asus ROG Ally: Right Bumper only registers when pushed backwards and down

Sat, 18 May 2024 08:09:40 -0700

Just got my ROG Ally second hand, guy said his kid used it maybe 5 hours before wanting a Switch instead so I don't believe he sold it knowing the issue.

My Right bumper only activates when pushed firmly in the center and/or it is pushed towards the back of the device and pushed down with regular force. I opened the device but couldn't see anything obvious. Just wondering if this is something I could easily fix on my own or if it's likely needing to be sent in to ASUS.

Asus ROG Ally: What the heck happened?

Sun, 30 Mar 2025 08:21:17 -0700

My Rog Ally was running a little hot but immaculate since I bought it from someone on fb marketplace. Then one day I come home from work and it doesn’t work. It turns on and shows the “Republic Of Gamers” one time, then shows two lit black screens and then completely shuts off. The lights on top work, orange when charging and white when on. It smells like sweet in a way, from the back right fan but not the left.

I've had issues from the start with this one. I even bought a mobile xg to boost performance, but I had system freezes and connectivity issues and then finally it happened. Had to hard reset it because it stalked and now fan/gpu/cpu are not recognized by rog armor crate. They won't spin up, I just get haptic twitches. HELP!

Asus ROG Ally: Repairing a dead unit

Fri, 31 Jul 2026 07:39:23 -0700

I brought a Rog ally off eBay with a bios lock on it, my plan for that was to pin directly to the bios chip and flash it. However, upon receiving the device it now has no signs of life.

Upon taking it apart I can see it has been opened before and a bigger battery has been put it.

When inspecting the board I can see any obvious signs of damage but I have noticed that if I disconnect the main ribbon cable from the left joystick board and then plug it into power I now get a red led on the charging light. It stays solid for a few seconds and then flashes. When this happens it draws around 20.12v at 0.010a. when I reconnect the joystick board I get no led.

My first thought is that there is something wrong with the joystick board. I just wanted to see if anyone has had any similar issues before and if they know if the device can still boot if the joysticks are not connected.

Thanks in advance

My charger is at the point where it will only work if you bend it. Usually, I would just replace the cable. But with this type of charger, it's obviously more complicated to do. Please advise on how to replace the cable.
