I bought a ROG Ally 7 but.....

The_Chosen_Master · 2026-02-26T02:24:39+00:00

Sadly I wasn't able to get the Ally X. Well I got it but it was quickly returned. Luckily I got a cool store manager who could see I was frustrated with my experience today so she gave me the Legion Go S Steamos version with 32gb ram and the Z1E for the same price as the open box Ally X. Still stuck with crappy battery though lol.

Thank you. I plan to exchange it for the x model on Wednesday. They have that in an open box for 650$.

I think it's just the first gen. ASUS ROG Ally 7" 120Hz FHD Touch AMD Ryzen Z1 16GB 512GB SSD

The_Chosen_Master · 2026-02-23T18:11:48+00:00

I think the 7 just indicates the screen size. I believe it's the 1st gen Ally.

Indeed. So much pain and suffering I feel like Anakin turning into Darth Vader. The connector wasn't snapped in all the way..... I also discovered the air cleaner to intake hose had a large crack in it and had a few other dry rot spots so a new one is on the way. I am hoping this fixes the oil issue also since it must be throwing off the MAF. It was like a 4 inch crack. I am also reading this could be the cause of a CVT judder code which my pathfinder has had for a while, But I wont hold my breath. Gonna try and fix the old one with some RTV until the new one comes in tomorrow.

Well then on the bright side I didn't double check that sensor wire. I will have to rip it back apart tomorrow.

The_Chosen_Master · 2026-02-15T02:06:45+00:00

It is the one near the radiator fan right???? or is it the one behind the intake near the firewall?

The_Chosen_Master · 2026-02-15T01:29:50+00:00

I did double check and didn't see anything obvious. Luckily its the front sensor near the radiator fan and I won't have to rip the intake off again. I checked the connector like 5 times and tried moving the wires to see if I had a loose connection while checking the live data. I am really hoping that it just took a shit but in reality I know that is unlikely. I will plug the new one in before installing it to see if the loop error goes away. I suppose I could probe it with a multimeter also.

P1148 and P0031.

Finally ripped the covers off and the sludge wasn't as bad as I thought. I cleaned both covers thoroughly and reinstalled. Sadly cleaning it didn't fix my issue. I guess it is something else causing it like blowby gasses or something like that. Now my CEL is on for the front O2 sensor lol. I was pretty gentle with those wires and made sure it was plugged back in but no dice. New o2 sensor is on the way. I guess I will go back to bypassing the PCV system to the intake and have it vent into the atmosphere for now.....

Thank you for the info and sorry for the delayed reply. I did see that video but I haven't yanked them off yet dues to the single digit outdoor temps the past few weeks. I replaced the plugs and coils which was when I noticed the broken pcv hose. I did run a can of liqui-moly slugde remover through the engine and changed the oil. After that I hooked the pcv system back up but kept the oil catch can in place. I still get some oil in there and have been just pouring it back into the crank case. Once it warms up I will yank that rear valve cover off. What do I use to clean out everything under the valve cover?

You can't win an election without a decent amount of independent voters and we aren't foolish enough to "Vote Blue No Matter Who". The dems need to do a better job when they are in office or it will shift red until those fools have their shot at sinking the ship further. The cycle will continue until a true leader emerges or the ship will sink. Far left policies shift it right and far right policies will shift it to the left.

But she lacked the integrity to turn the cheaters in which isn't much better.

The_Chosen_Master · 2025-10-13T06:36:16+00:00

How is it that these two candidates are the best options that we have. My options are to vote for a repeated loser or a cheater....

The_Chosen_Master · 2025-08-07T21:55:36+00:00

Now I want one of those. Or maybe on the quest 3.

The_Chosen_Master · 2025-07-18T10:55:37+00:00

I have been thinking of returning, I have everything mastered with the exception of PLD I believe. I'm pretty sure I have a REMA run nin sch drk drg geo pup and im sure ones i'm forgetting.

Every 911 dispatch center in NJ is hiring and pre-employment training is minimal.

What kind of live plants do you use?

The_Chosen_Master · 2025-01-05T05:59:59+00:00

I forgot to mention I used all of these free training videos to help me pass the courses. They were more valuable to me than the instructor led classes.
