it might be a surprisingly simple repair. That's what repair site iFixit is saying after its teardown of the handheld gaming console, which it made look pretty easy.
In a short video on its YouTube channel, the repair company set about removing each component making up Asus' handheld Windows PC. For the most part, a set of screwdrivers will see you through the disassembly process. The battery, thumb sticks, motors, SSD, and cooling components all peel off once unscrewed from the motherboard/case of the Ally. The only sticking point is the screen, which iFixit notes"isn't repair friendly", but also isn't too much of an issue to remove.for repairability on a couple of points.
First, the battery. Whereas the battery is glued down in the Steam Deck, requiring a heat gun for the, in the ROG Ally it's simply screwed in. Then there's the thumbsticks, which are easier to remove directly without touching the wider thumbstick module on the ROG Ally.
The ROG Ally uses the same SSD format as the Steam Deck, too, which is just a win for customers as there are plenty of these now on the market, all the way up to 2TB.
