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.

Handheld Game Console: Trimui Smart Pro with broken R1/R2 switch

Mon, 11 May 2026 19:58:33 -0700

I bought a used Trimui Smart Pro that had some physical mods on it (a fan and heat sink), but the owner failed to mention the R2 button was totally broken.

I opened it to take a look if I was able to fix it, and I accidentally bridged the button with the R1 while trying to install another button (which also failed because it was too big).

Which button switch can I use for this? Is this salvageable at all? The device turns on and plays as normal, but the lack of this button bothers me so much.

Logitech G Cloud: STEAM link Constantly Disconnecting from PC

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 00:59:20 -0700

When I first open the Steam Link app, it tells me my connection is super fast for streaming, but once I open a game, it gives me that red icon in the bottom right corner or will take me back to the Steam Link start up menu. I am constantly disconnected. I've checked that allllll the things are up to date I've hard reset the wifi router, PC and Logitech handheld, and I still disconnect constantly. I'm literally one floor up from my PC and this hasn't been an issue before (I've played this way for years). I'm so frustrated! Please help!

Steam App pushed an update that fixed it. No longer an issue. Thank you!

AYN Odin 2: When I plug in my charger, it crashes my device

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 02:56:17 -0700

I think I need a new USB C. Port fitted into the device. If I wiggle the wire, it will sometimes charge the device. But 9 times out of 10, it will crash the moment I push any. Type of cable into the device, even if it's not connected to anything, I think the soldier has broken at the points where it connects to the mainboard

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

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 14:37:49 -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 😅)
