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 😅)

I cannot get the battery to recharge. The green light flashes while charging for more than 8 hrs. Battery still not charged. I have cleaned the terminals as recommended by the company, but no luck.

I am willing to buy a new battery if I could just find one.

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.
