Odd Issue
#1
So, here it is.
Manjaro Phosh, 3G_RAM/32GB_STORAGE PinePhone board.

After discovering that my pinephone stopped charging, I tore it down to see the main diode on the usb-c board blew. Replaced it and started charging. But now I can not keep convergence active on any external display using, a NexDock lapdock(usb-c to usb-c alt mode), an Anker HDMI dock, or the official pinephone dock. The external display just flickers and will not stabilize. A quick connect, disconnect, repeat issue. I thought I may have fixed it by tearing it down and unplug, then reapply the ribbon cable on the usb-c board and main board.
External displays worked again, or so i thought. Cut to class today. screen kept flickering, so I switched out my SIM card to my backup android phone and tried to dock it again, it worked.

The thing that baffles me is this, any other peripheral works without fail, (ie flash drive, mouse, keyboard)

After trying this multiple times, using an external display will ONLY work without the SIM card inserted.
I switched off the WLAN DIP, SIM inserted, wont work. WLAN DIP switched on, no SIM, convergence works flawlessly.

Should I just get a new mainboard, as I am thinking the diode didn't blow soon enough before some extra voltage screwed up the main board.
