I got this adaptor for outputting video from the Apple laptop's USB-C port to a TV's HDMI port but some of the time the video output just refuses to appear on the TV screen. Don't know why this happens every now and then. So I regard this as a reliability issue. Maybe the adaptor has a poorly manufactured or faulty pins in its USB-C plug? What options do I have for resolving this issue by Thursday next week (01 May)? The product has a two year warranty. 

 

Thanks in advance for your assistance with resolving this issue.

Take it back to where you bought it for warranty.

I bought a tech inc. product (usb-c to microUSB with lightning and usb-c end adapters) on a whim about a year ago for about $20, and holy shit that thing never worked right out of the box. The end ports would get really hot, close to burning temp. The adapters were also a struggle, and felt like they're about to break everytime its put on or off.

 

I honestly expected better quality for such a generic product, especially for that price. So lesson learned and just buy the quality items, even for the small stuff like this because the expectancy difference is significant.
