Help! Traktor S4 USB Port is Broken!
Help! Traktor S4 USB Port is Broken! Posted on: 19.10.2013 by Maida Acra Hey guys,I came back from a gig, and was surprised to find out that my S4 would not connect to my macbook. I was receiving the error message that the device was drawing too much power. After doing some analysis, I noticed that my USB port is exposed compared to a normal S4. Is there anyway to fix this issue? Thanks! IMG_20131019_140023.jpgIMG_0380.jpg (My S4 is the first picture, a standard S4 is used for comparison in the second picture) | |

| Librada Woolslayer 08.12.2013 | He still can repair the original one... |
| Dannie Dimora 06.12.2013 | Whaaat? $130? You could honestly have bought a compatible USB plug from some electronics shop for max. a couple dollars, and another 10 or so to get it soldered by someone with knowledge. Why did you go the expensive route? |
| Charline Dye 06.12.2013 | Thanks for sharing your results! |
| Maida Acra 07.12.2013 | UPDATE! Thanks everyone for your responses, it's been a busy semester and I haven't been active around here lately. I talked to NI on the phone about the problem, and they sent me a refurbished S4 for $130 given that my unit has been out of warranty. Hope this clears up some questions if any of you have the same problem. |
| Lucrecia Diloreto 23.10.2013 | I had this happen to me, my S4 wasn't under warranty anymore and i emailed NI and they still replaced it for free. There should be some temporary fixes if you search around. |
| Libbie Orion 20.10.2013 | WOW where is the missing part? Shouldnt it still be atached to your USB cable? |
| Charline Dye 19.10.2013 | If it doesn't work out with NI, break out the soldering iron or find a local electronics guy to do it. |
| Maida Acra 19.10.2013 | Unfortunately it is not under warranty, but I'm planning on calling NI during the week to see what they say. |
| Charline Dye 19.10.2013 | Is it still under warranty? Either way I would call NI first and see what they say. |
