USB-C Hub adapter shutting down [SOLVED]

Hello everybody, I have bought this USB-C adaptor: https://www.gearbest.com/usb-accessories/pp_662546.html. The first time, it worked really well, USB, HDMI, Audio Jack. However, I was using my external monitor with this adaptor via HDMI, and then, the PC powered off due battery drain. So I connected the power supply, and powered on my PC, but I noticed that, the USB-C adapter did not turn on. I did a lsusb, and nothing related to the adaptor was showing up. So, I unpluged everything, less the power supply, and rebooted, but nothing. The next day, with the PC fully charged, and the adaptor cold, I pluged it in, and it was recognized and working again. However, since then, I connect the adaptor, and sometimes it stays connected for about 10 seconds, and then just shutdowns. Sometimes, It not even turn on, and some times, it works normally.

Here is the dmesg output when I plug in the adaptor:

As you can see in the last 6 lines, the devices were disconnected, and the LED indicator at the HUB, turned off.

I have tested the HUB in Ubuntu with the same results.

Any help is appreciated.

My Laptop information:

Brand: ASUS.
Model: UX430UA.
Linux: 4.15.2-2-ARCH

Re: USB-C Hub adapter shutting down [SOLVED]

Ok, after many reading and testing, it seems that the problem relies in the Hub itself. Today, testing it, I twisted the cable a little, and the Hub started working after pluging it. I connected an external disk, and was playing a movie, when In certain moment, I touched the Hub, and it just turned off. It seems that the internal cable connections are faulty.
