Asus Extends Warranty on ROG Ally SD Card Reader Due to Ongoing Issues

Nine months after reports of corrupted SD cards in the ROG Ally handheld gaming PC, Asus has announced a 12-month warranty extension for the device’s SD card reader. The move suggests that the previous BIOS update to adjust fan speeds may not have fully resolved the issue. Customers in the US are eligible for the extended warranty, which covers SD cards damaged by the reader for up to 24 months after purchase. Asus advises against using SD cards for additional storage due to potential damage, but acknowledges the convenience of SD cards for file transfer. Despite the warranty extension, the underlying design flaw of the SD card reader’s placement near the heatsink and fan assembly remains a concern.
