Return it and buy a proper powered one. You can get them for the same price from Amazon. If your PC doesn't have USB 3, then you don't need to waste your money on a USB 3 hub.

That will have a 500ma power limit might be getting tripped when you plug in something that wants to charge.
this hub is USB 3/C might be wanting more power
general question to others
What's the behaviour of USB 2 on power overload does it shutdown the data channels?

Hub is going back but now the question is should I get the same kind or a different model?
I've got a Kingston 4 slot which has lasted about 10 years so far.

Did a straight swap at Argos for this one
Buy Port Connect 4 Port USB Hub | USB hubs | Argos
It has a shorted cable but it is still working and that's the main thing.0
