Lightning Adapter to HDMI/USB for iPad not working

Hi @DJKaraMad, from my years of experience, I highly recommend you avoid 3rd party lightning adapters. These adapters require special internal chips to work properly with iOS devices. There are many poorly made 3rd party lightning adapters out there that simply don’t work or may work initially then fail suddenly. Try to stick to genuine Apple Lightning adapters if you can. If you have to go third party, choose one that is Apple MFI certified, guaranteed, has a charging socket and made by a well known, reputable manufacturer. It’s been years since I used a lightning port iPad, so maybe things have changed and other users have some good recommendations, but that was my personal experience.

This is actually one of the main reasons I personally updated my iPad to a USB-C version. High quality powered USB-C hubs are much more common and reliable IMHO.
