ROG Ally X Repair: A Shocking Discovery

Summary

A supposedly repaired ROG Ally X wouldn't even turn on, prompting a deeper investigation that revealed a severely damaged battery connector. The original repair shop had apparently attempted to fix it but failed, leaving essential pins torn off the board. After painstakingly reattaching the connector and rerouting wires, the device still wouldn't charge. Further examination uncovered multiple shorts on the motherboard, traced to a few capacitors. Replacing these temporarily resolved the shorts but didn't fix the charging issue. The final diagnosis points to a damaged main chip, components of which are unavailable for repair, rendering the ROG Ally X unfixable.
