The ROG Ally became a popular hit amongst fans and Malaysian gamers were seen lining up for the handheld gaming device during the launch. However, it seems that there's an issue with the microSD card reader not being read properly.

In fact, this issue was first noted by ROG fans in the ROG forums three weeks ago. At this point, gamers already share a few threads sharing their experience and frustrations about the ROG Ally being unable to read the SD card. While others are fine, but theirs also started to fail after a few days.

In light of this, an ROG Community Manager finally responded and thank the ROG community for raising their concerns. It was confirmed that if the ROG Ally got too hot, it will disable the SD card reader. According to the manager, the company "will be releasing an update that further fine-tunes the default and minimum fan speeds on the device to improve reliability while keeping fan noise in check".

If any of you Malaysian gamers are also experiencing this, we recommend you to contact the ASUS ROG Malaysia customer service to RMA your ROG Ally, and they will inspect for any issues and repairs.
