Reply to Traktor S2 Repair Log

I saw a ton of S2s and S4s on eBay selling on eBay for pretty cheap (broken of course), so I decided to pick on up for a little over 100 bucks.

This S2 in particular turned on (since I hate dealing with electrical issues), but it was in kinda bad physical condition. Not the worst I've ever seen though. So far, it looks like I need to replace 2 pots, 1 encoder, and a cross fader. Some of the buttons are extremely stick, and some don't work.

This was definitely used in a bar setting. Sticky residue all over it when I received it. After a really quick clean:


Here it is!


Broke the seal!


Opened up!

Remove the three top boards (faders, cue, and sound card)

You can see some residue on the faders.


Sound card removed. Leaving all the screws in place. You can see NI was really nice and marked which holes should have screws and which ones dont.


Cue card removed. Push in the cue mix and volume in to make removal easier.


Remove the jog wheels. This is done by unscrewing the four screws on the plastic ring. The jogwheel comes out the front.



Unscrew the rest of the screws holding down the main board....

Done!
