S4 usb connector problem

[bigbeatzz]

Try this, it has worked for me in the past:

- Push the top 2 pins up a little bit, then push the bottom 2 down. Make it enough so they have a nice even space in between them. A butter knife or a flat head screw driver will help. Also have a pair of tweezers handy in case the pins bend.

- Take a usb cable and on the end that gets plugged into the s4 put a small piece of electrical tape on it (you are putting this on the metal top). The idea is it will make the usb plug fit tighter in the socket. I just put it on the very top flat part. You can also put it on the bottom if that works better.

- Plug in USB cable and test it out.

If you look inside a USB cable you will see where the pins on the S4 should make contact. It may take a little bit of trial and error moving the pins up and down but once it works and the cable is securely in place you should be good to go.

ill try that out bigbeatz, thank you, but it looks like NI is going to take it back, i just have to pay for shipping, but they will reimburse me

Excellent...you may want to keep on top of it after you send it in. I sent my x1 back and got it 3 months later.

UPDATE: well since i have upcoming gigs i do not have weeks to send in the s4 so i got a female connector, (4 for 5 dollars, with shipping) from ebay. and i simply cut out the middle part and placed it in the s4, it took some work but this does work as a quick cheap fix!
