You've already helped! turns out, the Apple Version of the av multiport type-c adapter ONLY has the issue. when I use another brand type-c docking station,( that has HDMI, ethernet, type-c, usb3, usb2, sd card, mini sd card), I can charge from the type-c on docking station and I can use the HDMI port on the docking station! now I just need a 2nd monitor! So I can see if it will handle 2 external monitors. 1 connected to type-c docking station, and 1 connected to the HDMI port on the laptop itself. All in all, thanks bro for your help. Also, (a bit off topic) before I did those renames and switched the smbios, my battery was showing it needed service and only had 66percent capacity at full charge, now the "service battery soon" message is gone as well! OFFICIAL 100 percent hack now. guide coming next
