AYN Odin 2: When I plug in my charger, it crashes my device

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 02:11:25 -0700

I think I need a new USB C. Port fitted into the device. If I wiggle the wire, it will sometimes charge the device. But 9 times out of 10, it will crash the moment I push any. Type of cable into the device, even if it's not connected to anything, I think the soldier has broken at the points where it connects to the mainboard

Asus ROG Ally: USB-C port not charging with power delivery

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 14:37:49 -0700

A few days ago, the usb-c port of my ally had stopped charging with the provided adapter. It still connects (a white LED shows up when connected in sleep mode), but it will not charge it, no matter what side of the usb I used.

Right now it only charges with low power cables, the kind that you would use for phones, and (as far as I know) only works on one side of the cable. Obviously it means that I can't use it and charge at the same time, I'd have to wait about 8-9 hours just for it to charge 60%. Non-charging cables work as well, but again only on one side.

I took the ally to two repair shops, both of which did nothing to fix the problem (thinking the adapter was the problem). I think it has to do with the port itself, or somehow a bios update. I hope this could get fixed soon, I don't want have to return it.

----------

Edit: Thanks to JiYoW (@luunfmr2mlkysbv) for helping me out! The solution is to try and switch the "batter care" on the MyAsus app on and off a couple of times, and also the full-charge mode as well just to be safe. Then fully turn off the ally, plug in the charger, and then turn it back on, Very simple!

I'll keep this question open in case the solution doesn't work for someone else, and if others have others ways to fix this (hopefully without going into too many repair shop beforehand 😅)

Logitech G Cloud: STEAM link Constantly Disconnecting from PC

Sun, 01 Mar 2026 08:11:42 -0700

When I first open the Steam Link app, it tells me my connection is super fast for streaming, but once I open a game, it gives me that red icon in the bottom right corner or will take me back to the Steam Link start up menu. I am constantly disconnected. I've checked that allllll the things are up to date I've hard reset the wifi router, PC and Logitech handheld, and I still disconnect constantly. I'm literally one floor up from my PC and this hasn't been an issue before (I've played this way for years). I'm so frustrated! Please help!

As title says, plugged the USB and it didn’t charge at all… no light, nothing. I know battery and everything still works since it still manage to boot up and everything when there’s still charge left. Maybe a dead USBC? Any way these can be replaced? Thanks

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 13:11:30 -0700

Friends,

Loosened the screws on my Analogue Pocket’s back cover. In the process, I stripped one of the four tiny crews.

Any tips on finding a replacement screw?

Retroid Pocket 3: Side-frame button replacements

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 10:09:18 -0700

So, long story short, I dropped my Retroid Pocket 3 (twice) in the last couple of weeks, and broke a number of the side frame buttons. The L button, the Home button, and partially the Power button. I've taken apart the frame and see that each button is a 90-degree button mounted on the top of the PCB, but I don't really have any experience with finding these kinds of replacement parts.

I know I can probably order them from digikey, but would anyone be able to help figure out what the appropriate replacement buttons to order would be?
