USB-C CC pins are pulled to the GND by AW3512 (VCONN switches) when VCONN is off

Unfortunately, I was unaware of this hardware issue that will prevent me from plugging my Ubuntu Touch phone in a dock and using it as mobile linux pc?

Problem for me is, that was one of the main reasons for my purchase of Ubuntu Touch community edition and I already received shipping notification (Ascendia Shipping, living in Switzerland). I did not expect this feature to be working when I receive my unit but that it will be worked out eventually. That is why I would like to sell the phone immediately upon arrival. Do you guys have any hint what the best approach would be to sell the phone? If someone is interested you can also DM me.

I'm sorry to hear that. It is, however, fixable relatively easily. So, you'll have to decide whether you want to go through the evening of removing the two switches from the board, but it's not a tedious process. I completed it with tweezers and my 15 year old soldering iron with the fused-on tip. I'm using my PinePhone with this fix, I can confirm it works, and after that, OTG works great.

You could probably get buyers on r/PINE64official. You'd then know that the phone went to someone who would also use it for Linux/etc.

Unfortunately, I have no idea about hardware at all, besides, I lack the equipment and there is nobody in my circle of acquaintances whom I would like to ask about this matter... I will inform myself about various instructions on the internet and if I have a good feeling I will unpack the phone and try to fix it, otherwise I will sell it on reddit Thanks a lot in any case for your assessment.
