Built-in controller / MCU failure with short near MCU

MCU / left joystick board controller electronics

Source-linkedVerify source — Reddit post

While playing, ROG Ally built-in controls suddenly died—no buttons, sticks, RGB, or power LED (charge LED still works). Touchscreen and volume still work across Windows and SteamOS; Armoury Crate shows an embedded-controller error and MCU updater fails. Owner later found a hot/shorted area next to the MCU chip on the left joystick board after probing voltages.

ROG Ally about two years old stopped charging and powering on two months after warranty expired. Charging light never came on with multiple chargers and button-combo resets; reseating the battery did nothing. Owner asked whether repair or buying a new unit was cheaper.
