Asus ROG Ally (RC71L) repairability

The original ROG Ally has separate SSD, thumbstick, fan and battery guides; its M.2 2230 SSD is a modular storage part.

What to check before buying

Replacement parts
Battery, fan and SSD each have replacement guides.
Repair documentation
iFixit lists left and right thumbstick guides as well as trigger and button procedures.
SSD format
The documented SSD slot takes M.2 2230 NVMe.

Controls

iFixit lists left and right thumbstick guides as well as trigger and button procedures. A drifting stick is a different component from the display.

Storage and cooling

The SSD can be replaced or upgraded, while the two fans have separate guides. Match RC71L rather than the later Ally X when selecting parts.
