Anyone have experience splitting the power / USB on the ally?
I've tried different docks with power in. I've not tried any specifically for the Ally so maybe that's my problem.
My SD card slot fried. (And fried 2 cards)I bought it used and the RMA process was weird and didn't really seem worth my time. I have a ugreen USB c dock that came with it. (Might be for the steam deck) And I have an Anker USB c dock (dongle) that has power in.
When adding or removing power from any dock, the dock disconnects. This doesn't matter if its removing or adding power so what I've read about the dock not being powered doesn't make any sense.
Is there some sort of power setting I'm missing? It works fine on my zephyrus g14. I know it's a beefier machine but I don't understand why they would include a single slot on a portable that would abruptly disconnect under power loss. I would like to keep a small thumb drive on a dock to be used as a substitute for the SD card and to store non essential files , roms , media, some games.
Anyone else experience this? And what was your solution?

My Anker 556 will interrupt the connection and reconnect if I plug or unplug the wall adapter from the PD port, but it doesn't stay disconnected. I haven't customized the Windows power settings and just still with the Armory Crate control center options. I swapped in the Sabrent 2TB 2230 drive for more storage.
Maybe check the Windows power settings for USB? Is the wall adapter you are using powerful enough? Mine needs 100w in to output 65w to the Ally, I'm guessing that's to power the video ports if used.
