We have previously reported that ASUS ROG Ally’s SD card reader seems to have an overheating problem, causing many players’ microSD memory cards to malfunction.

Indeed, the SD card reader is in In some cases, an overheating condition may occur. “Under certain stressful conditions, the SD card reader may malfunction,” ASUS said. In order to solve this problem, ASUS will launch a new update to fine-tune the preset minimum fan speed on ROG Ally to improve reliability and control fan noise. “For users who have already had an SD card reader, please contact the local official customer service for the RMA process, check for any problems, and make repairs.
