HDMI quits after a year

I know this is a complaint review. I purchased this 12 months ago (so unfortunately my warranty is out). Everything was working okay; USB, Ethernet, and HDMI. I just keep in my padded backpack when I travel. But after a year, the HDMI... well, it's not reliable. It will connect and you will see your screen on the external monitor for a couple of seconds, and then it will blank out every 5 seconds or so continuously. I plug in my official Apple USB-C to HDMI hub and it's fine. I'm bummed that this product is already faulty after 12 months. Well, at least the USB and Ethernet is still working.
