| Random X 10.03.2012 | Just make sure the metal pins don't connect when wanting to use the s4. I have done this by cutting up some cardboard just that I am able to plug and unplug the S4. Will try to take some pics later on. Just make sure the cardboard isn't too wide that you are no longer able to connect the USB cable. S4-USBfix.jpg |

| Random X 11.03.2012 | It seems both the S4 and the S2 have the same USB B connector, so I guess you could do the same trick. |
| Ricki Markman 10.03.2012 | Is there an equivalent solution for the s2? It has a different usb port. I mean, it seems like as long as you don't yank it the hell out it shouldn't be a problem, but just wondering if there are any precautionary measures |

| Kami Sawan 10.03.2012 | Traktor s4/s2 are having problems with USB ports. tried to pull my cable out and the whole orange thing broke. |
| Random X 10.03.2012 | What happened to the USB port, did it melt, did the plastic in the connector disappear, as that the metal pins are constantly making contact? |
| Kami Sawan 10.03.2012 | Hi my name is mike and Im going through Traktor s2 withdraws. my tractor went back for repairs and its been 1 and half week since i seen her. I do not know what to do, i can't slope or eat or believe about my tractor.

| nayit ruiz jaramillo 09.03.2012 | Would it work? To do what exactly? The S4 has to be connected via USB, simple as that. The Midi in port wont power the S4. |
