Asus won’t say if the ROG Ally’s SD card reader will ever be truly fixed


Is it destroying SD cards, and will the company fix it?

Two weeks ago, I told you how Asus has officially extended its warranty on the ROG Ally gaming handheld’s SD card reader to two full years in the United States, presumably to give you more time to get it fixed. Nine months later, the company’s new warranty announcement seems to confirm the worst — Asus is now even offering to reimburse you for damaged SD cards if you return them alongside a ROG Ally that needs service. But on the r/ROGAlly subreddit, a moderator pointed out that there’s no guarantee of a fix, writing that “we still advise against using an SD card” because “devices returned from RMA as recently as this month still have the issue.” And the offer’s only good in the United States.
