00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,200
ASUS refused to fix this ROG alloy,
2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,520
claiming that it had liquid damage. The
3
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:07,040
seller that sent this to me said that
4
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:08,800
there was never any liquid damage, but
5
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,200
he did try to make a few repairs himself
6
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:12,880
that didn't end up working out, which is
7
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,040
why he sent it to ASUS. In this video,
8
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:16,400
I'm going to take this apart, see if
9
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,240
there's any liquid damage, and see if we
10
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:20,080
can fix it. The viewer that sent this to
11
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:22,160
me said he tried to fix his micro SD
12
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,320
card. He tried to reflow the components
13
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,640
by applying solder paste flux and
14
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,400
heating it up. He then proceeded to
15
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:29,920
close everything up and turn it on. He
16
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,399
said that did actually work, but then he
17
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:34,239
restarted the device and it never came
18
00:00:34,239 --> 00:00:36,320
to life again. ASUS said they wouldn't
19
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,000
fix it under warranty, but they would
20
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,200
fix it for $867.
21
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:42,640
I'm curious to see if there's any
22
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,559
evidence of any sort of liquid damage
23
00:00:44,559 --> 00:00:46,320
once we get this opened up. Now, I don't
24
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,680
see any evidence of liquid yet. I can
25
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,280
see that this thing's been taken apart.
26
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,600
I started taking it apart already, but I
27
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,280
want to check and see if it'll charge
28
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,320
with an SSD installed. There's not
29
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,840
currently one there. So, I don't think
30
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,280
that matters. I don't think that would
31
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,159
keep it from charging, but I do want to
32
00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:10,360
check just to be sure.
33
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,600
Storage device installed. Now, the thing
34
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,400
with ROG Allies is you have to cover
35
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,159
this sensor right here. This is a light
36
00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:21,759
sensor, and that tells the system
37
00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:23,680
whether the back cover is off or not.
38
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,600
So, I'm going to cover this, and that'll
39
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,040
make it think the cover's on. and then
40
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,479
plug it in and see if we get a charge
41
00:01:28,479 --> 00:01:32,400
light. Okay, covering this
42
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,960
and
43
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:38,640
no lights, no nothing.
44
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,720
Doesn't power on. Just nothing happens
45
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,360
at all. It's like the battery's
46
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,759
unplugged, which I don't think it is.
47
00:01:45,759 --> 00:01:48,560
No, it's not unplugged, but okay. So, we
48
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,159
need to take this thing apart further,
49
00:01:50,159 --> 00:01:53,040
see what's going on on this board. Or I
50
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,640
mean, it could be just a battery issue.
51
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,079
I don't know. Let's take it apart,
52
00:01:56,079 --> 00:01:59,759
though. and figure this thing out.
53
00:01:59,759 --> 00:02:02,159
And with the battery out, still no
54
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:05,680
clues. Get this SSD back out and get the
55
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,520
thumb sticks and the boards off, the
56
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,280
fans out, and then we'll see if we can
57
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,360
see anything from there.
58
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,920
Okay, one thumb stick module is out. Got
59
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:15,599
to say, the seller of this seemed to do
60
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:18,560
a pretty good job overall. I mean, other
61
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,480
than the fact that, you know, it's not
62
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,800
working. But what I mean by that is
63
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,560
there's not a bunch of broken ribbon
64
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,239
cables or missing screws or anything
65
00:02:26,239 --> 00:02:28,480
like that. So, really not too bad
66
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,480
overall.
67
00:02:33,519 --> 00:02:35,680
This ribbon cable was unplugged from the
68
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,200
board down here. So, we'll need to make
69
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,040
sure and plug that in. Speaking of the
70
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,519
seller doing a really good job,
71
00:02:41,519 --> 00:02:43,280
actually, I mean, it it's possible I
72
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:44,640
just pulled it out when I was pulling
73
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:51,160
that thumb stick out. Okay, there we go.
74
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,040
Okay,
75
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,599
so far
76
00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:03,519
everything is looking just fine. I don't
77
00:03:03,519 --> 00:03:05,519
see any evidence of any sort of liquid
78
00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:08,400
damage. This is the SD card slot. So,
79
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,319
I'm guessing maybe the other side might
80
00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:13,800
show us something.
81
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:21,640
Okay, now we need to unplug everything.
82
00:03:22,239 --> 00:03:23,920
Power button. I've forgotten to plug
83
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:28,080
that in before. Okay, how we looking?
84
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,360
Okay, this seems pretty good.
85
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,400
And it is coming out.
86
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,519
Okay, and there we go. All right, now
87
00:03:39,519 --> 00:03:41,840
let's see what we got for liquid damage.
88
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,680
So, right down here is the SD card area,
89
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,080
this whole area. And I can definitely
90
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,920
see
91
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,400
some kind of residue on this chip.
92
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,720
But other than that, like there's just
93
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,200
nothing. I don't see any like liquid
94
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,000
damage indicators or anything on this
95
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,519
board.
96
00:04:03,519 --> 00:04:05,519
So, as far as I can tell, the only
97
00:04:05,519 --> 00:04:07,120
reason they would say that there's
98
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,879
liquid damage on this board is because
99
00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:10,959
there's a little bit of residue on this
100
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:12,879
chip. Let's get under a microscope and
101
00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:15,360
take a closer look at this. Okay, so
102
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,880
this is the SD card slot right here, and
103
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,479
this is the backside of it. So, this is
104
00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:24,639
why they were saying it's liquid
105
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:27,759
damaged. While I can say that there's
106
00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:29,600
little bits of what looks like probably
107
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,120
flux residue, there's absolutely no
108
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,680
corrosion or anything like that on this
109
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,479
board. So, for them to say it's liquid
110
00:04:38,479 --> 00:04:40,160
damaged,
111
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,759
I'm just not sure I'm on board with
112
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:44,000
that. Now, it is true that the person I
113
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,160
bought this from did mess with this. He
114
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,160
said he heated it up to reflow these
115
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,240
components, and that actually got the SD
116
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,560
card working, at least for a while. So,
117
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,479
I mean, technically he did mess with the
118
00:04:54,479 --> 00:04:57,440
inside of it, but at the same time, I
119
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:58,800
can't say that I would say this is
120
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,960
liquid damaged. I can say there has been
121
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,160
some liquid on the board, meaning flux,
122
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,479
which is kind of like meant to be on
123
00:05:06,479 --> 00:05:09,199
boards. I mean, at least enough for it
124
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:11,039
to do, you know, soldering and stuff
125
00:05:11,039 --> 00:05:13,520
like that. Normally, you clean flux off,
126
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,360
but it also usually doesn't do any
127
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,759
damage for it to be there. So, tell me
128
00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:19,840
what you think in the comments if ASUS
129
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:21,520
should have denied him a warranty on
130
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,199
this or whether you think they should
131
00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:25,039
have went ahead and fixed it. Now that
132
00:05:25,039 --> 00:05:27,280
we've explored that a little bit, we've
133
00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:28,800
got to figure out why this thing isn't
134
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,360
working. One of the things I noticed is
135
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,440
there's this random capacitor that's
136
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,440
like
137
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,800
off center. Oh. Oh, that's like broken
138
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,400
off.
139
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,039
Okay. Um Well, I mean that could be a
140
00:05:45,039 --> 00:05:48,000
problem. I mean, it also might not be,
141
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,400
but that could definitely be an issue.
142
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,919
So, the problem is that that pad
143
00:05:53,919 --> 00:05:56,320
probably under there is probably torn.
144
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,479
That being said, we need to explore
145
00:05:58,479 --> 00:06:00,320
that. I'm going to get a soldering iron
146
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,080
and see if we can just resolder this
147
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,919
guy. So, I'm going to come in just a
148
00:06:03,919 --> 00:06:05,520
little bit of flux. That's just going to
149
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,000
help the solder flow. I've got our fume
150
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,319
extractor turned on. Our iron is nice
151
00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:12,400
and warm. Let's see if this thing will
152
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,720
solder. So, if that pad is torn, there's
153
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,400
a good chance this isn't going to solder
154
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,319
down correctly. Also, how did this
155
00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:20,240
happen? That's what I want to know. I
156
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,080
feel like I mean, obviously something
157
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,919
broke it off, but that's kind of
158
00:06:23,919 --> 00:06:26,000
strange.
159
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,240
Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. Okay,
160
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,960
that capacitor seems to have a broken
161
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,759
pad on one side. So, first thing we're
162
00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:36,560
going to do is remove it. Try to remove
163
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,160
it without breaking the other side pad.
164
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,160
Let's get some flux on that thing. Got
165
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,039
flux on one side, but not really the
166
00:06:45,039 --> 00:06:47,039
other side.
167
00:06:47,039 --> 00:06:48,880
Not there.
168
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,600
Close enough. All right.
169
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,720
Now, we should be able to desolder this
170
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,720
side.
171
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,800
Just like that. Okay. Now, we can see
172
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,360
what we're working with.
173
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,319
Hey, let's try and put some solder on
174
00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:23,280
that. See if it'll stick.
175
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,680
Okay, we got solder to stick there.
176
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,080
That's good news. All right,
177
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,520
let's try and restick this capacitor
178
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,000
back on here.
179
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,319
Yeah. See, there's something going on
180
00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:51,280
with this thing.
181
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,840
It refuses to stick down.
182
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,039
Oh, actually, okay. Let me try my larger
183
00:07:59,039 --> 00:08:02,000
iron. Maybe I can get
184
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,520
Maybe if we bring a little bit more heat
185
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,560
in here, that'll work.
186
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,240
Nope.
187
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,520
Okay. So, we got to figure out what's
188
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,200
going on with this board and why
189
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,760
nothing's sticking.
190
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,360
Let's bring some more flux in.
191
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,360
Okay, that that seems to be working fine
192
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:44,560
now.
193
00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:47,440
Also, we got to get the solder off of
194
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,519
these pads that I accidentally soldered
195
00:08:49,519 --> 00:08:52,800
together. Let's get some
196
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,920
get some solder wick on here. See if we
197
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,760
can wick wick enough of that up to get
198
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,160
it out of there.
199
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,360
There we go. Okay, now back to our
200
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,320
original project.
201
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,640
See, it looks like we've got solder
202
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,480
sticking there, but when I go to put
203
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:21,320
the capacitor on, it doesn't like it.
204
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,160
It could just have a broken capacitor,
205
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,120
too. That is always possible.
206
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,000
Ah, got it. Okay, that took a while.
207
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,360
Let's make sure that's nice and strong.
208
00:09:49,279 --> 00:09:52,720
Yeah, we're good. Okay, I'm not sure why
209
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,200
that took so long. It just didn't want
210
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,080
to stay on there. But sometimes that's
211
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,120
just how it is. So,
212
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,040
I checked the capacitor to make sure it
213
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,720
wasn't broken. I checked the pads to
214
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,480
make sure they were good. That's why I
215
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,240
knew it was just a matter of time and
216
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,320
trying to get that thing on there
217
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,480
correctly. Now, is that the only problem
218
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:13,839
with this motherboard, though? That's
219
00:10:13,839 --> 00:10:16,320
what we got to figure out. Let's take a
220
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:17,519
look at the rest of it and see if we can
221
00:10:17,519 --> 00:10:19,920
find anything else wrong. Okay, on the
222
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,640
screen now is a major problem. I'm going
223
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:23,920
to give you a second to see if you can
224
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,760
find it.
225
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,760
It is right here. We've got a completely
226
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,800
blown capacitor. It blew out the side
227
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,600
right there. Maybe more, but for sure
228
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,079
this one. That tells me that there was
229
00:10:38,079 --> 00:10:39,920
probably a lot of voltage that went
230
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,680
through this, which tells me that
231
00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:43,680
somebody who took it apart probably
232
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:45,200
bridged two points that weren't supposed
233
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,560
to be bridged and caused a voltage spike
234
00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:51,200
that blew out this capacitor.
235
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,440
Now, it is possible that that capacitor
236
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,040
is the only problem on this board, but
237
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,240
it is also possible that voltage went
238
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,600
through this capacitor and into other
239
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,160
chips on this board. And if that's the
240
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,560
case, this board might be toast. But I
241
00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:10,880
think what we should do first is replace
242
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,440
this capacitor and see if that takes
243
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,519
care of the shorts. So, what I'm going
244
00:11:15,519 --> 00:11:18,160
to do is remove this capacitor. Then I'm
245
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,680
going to get a capacitor from a known
246
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:22,480
good board. Now, before we solder on a
247
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,560
new capacitor, let's see if our short is
248
00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:26,800
gone. If the short is gone, there will
249
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,640
not be no beep. If we hear a beep, that
250
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,519
means the short is still there.
251
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,360
Okay, that's great news. So, let's
252
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,560
install a known good capacitor.
253
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,480
And with that capacitor replaced,
254
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,600
let's see what happens
255
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,440
when we put our probes on here and see
256
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,440
if it's shorted.
257
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,680
320 ohms on one side and 1 ohm on the
258
00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:01,519
other side. That's about what it should
259
00:12:01,519 --> 00:12:04,880
be. So, I feel like I haven't I don't
260
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,240
see any other problems on this board.
261
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:07,920
So, I think now is the time to put this
262
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,920
back into the handheld and see if that's
263
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,760
all it takes to fix this board. Okay,
264
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,519
now we just got to get this motherboard
265
00:12:13,519 --> 00:12:15,760
fitted in here. It's almost where it
266
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,760
needs to go. It's not quite down in the
267
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,320
slots. This ribbon cable needs to be
268
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,480
What are we doing here? There's a little
269
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,079
bit of damage on that cable. I don't
270
00:12:24,079 --> 00:12:25,600
think it's enough to cause a problem.
271
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,920
Okay, I'm going to plug the power button
272
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,959
in before I do anything else because
273
00:12:30,959 --> 00:12:32,480
I've forgotten that before and it really
274
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,040
threw me off.
275
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,800
Okay,
276
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,360
let's get a few screws in.
277
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:40,560
All right. Now, we need to make sure all
278
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:43,040
the buttons and everything are lined up
279
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,399
and clicky.
280
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:48,480
Yep. Okay. Everything's good. Now, I
281
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:49,680
just got to get the rest of these ribbon
282
00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:51,440
cables in and screws in. And then we can
283
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,360
put the thumb sticks in the fan and heat
284
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,079
sinks and the battery.
285
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,240
Okay, so we've got this all back
286
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,399
together. The next move is to reconnect
287
00:13:14,399 --> 00:13:16,079
the battery and hopefully nothing
288
00:13:16,079 --> 00:13:19,279
explodes. Here we go.
289
00:13:19,279 --> 00:13:22,279
Battery
290
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,680
plugged in.
291
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:27,279
Okay,
292
00:13:27,279 --> 00:13:30,079
no smoke. Don't see any problems there.
293
00:13:30,079 --> 00:13:32,240
All right, let's give it a test. Okay,
294
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,880
my finger is over the optical sensor.
295
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,920
Let's plug it in. Oh, we got a charge
296
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,600
light.
297
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,920
That is great news. So, I'm going to let
298
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,120
this thing charge for a little bit. I'm
299
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,279
going to get the back cover on and then
300
00:13:45,279 --> 00:13:47,040
we'll test it after it's fully charged.
301
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,560
But first, let's just try and press the
302
00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:52,600
power button again and see what happens.
303
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,199
It just turned on. Okay, I'm still going
304
00:14:01,199 --> 00:14:02,959
to get this fully charged. I'll put the
305
00:14:02,959 --> 00:14:04,399
back cover on and then we'll test it
306
00:14:04,399 --> 00:14:06,480
again and make sure it all works. I
307
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,480
can't believe that just turned on. Let's
308
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,279
get the back cover on.
309
00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:17,360
There we go. Now, this didn't come with
310
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,079
the original SSD. I'm using a
311
00:14:20,079 --> 00:14:22,639
replacement, so I don't know. I might
312
00:14:22,639 --> 00:14:27,160
have to install some software onto this.
313
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,600
Okay. And we are in recovery mode. Okay.
314
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:32,959
I'm going to get the software loaded on
315
00:14:32,959 --> 00:14:34,240
and then we'll start it up again and see
316
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:35,920
what happens. Right. And we're almost
317
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,360
done downloading. Just a little bit more
318
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:38,560
and then we should be able to start this
319
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,480
thing up. And there we go. Windows is
320
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,680
installed and this ROG Ally is now fully
321
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,680
working. Let me know in the comments if
322
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,680
you think ASUS should have taken this in
323
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,920
for a free warranty repair or whether
324
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,360
you think they did the right thing by
325
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,120
declining it. If you like this type of
326
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,320
video, you'll probably like the video
327
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,560
where I've bought eight broken handheld
328
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,399
PCs to see if I could fix those. I'll
329
00:14:58,399 --> 00:14:59,680
put a link for that video up on your
330
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:00,959
screen now so you can come hang out with
331
00:15:00,959 --> 00:15:02,639
me over there and see if I could fix
332
00:15:02,639 --> 00:15:04,160
them. Thanks so much for watching today
333
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,279
and I hope you have a good one.23188
