I wish more repair videos were like this... intriguing music, no talking, super high-quality video, showing the obvious problem, showing the new part, obvious step by step that no one could mess up. THIS IS HOW ALL REPAIR VIDEOS should be made. Love it.

I'd just like to add a few comments based on my experience carrying out this fix as a complete novice (literally the first time removing and applying solder 😬) Those of you with some solder skillz please bear with, this is aimed at other people like me. 1) I wouldn't recommend attempting this if you're a complete novice like myself! Although I successfully completed the fix it took a long time, and part way through I wished I'd shown this video to a repair shop or someone with some solder experience and asked them to do it. If you're in a position to do this, this is what I'd recommend! 2) You'll need at least a 60w solder iron, 30w won't cut it. Some different end attachments will be needed too. 3) To get hold of the part I contacted focusrite spares via a request form on their website (I'm UK based). They sent the part out for free within days, I assume this is a common issue. I also just want to echo some of the other comments to agree that all KZfaq repair vids should be like this. Super high quality vid, no commentary so accessible to all languages. Thankyou FREDO PACIFIC

I have the same problem with a Behringer X18. When you wiggle the port @ 0:15. I knew this was the problem. Nice video! Thank you so much for sharing. Get some solder flux BTW

Last week I purchased (2) jacks for my 6i6 for 12 and change from full compass. With a microscope I inspected the old jack but noticed no damage however the slightest nudge of the usb would either disable audio and at times crash my pc with a blue screen. For giggles I heated and remelted the existing solder joints and this proved successful. No need to replace the jack for now great video. Hopefully the jacks for the 6i6 are the same ones used in my 2i2 first generation that's sitting in a cable box with a visibly damaged jack. Thanx

i was struggling to open it..you saved my time bro..thanks

I like Solderpult tool much better than that wire mesh to unsolder.

Hi Fredo! Great video, I can definitely see myself following the step-by-step you did on this vid to fix my Scarlett.. just one quick question tho, I have never soldered anything in my life.. does the size/thickness of the soldering wire matter? Hope you reply, thanks!

Hey man !! Thanks for sharing this !! I had the same issue with my Focusrite, I replaced it, now the interface turns on but my Mac doesn’t recognize it at all. Any ideas about that ? Thanks !!!

Wow. All I searched was "fix usb b port" and the top videos are all Focusrite Scarlett products.... and what was I looking this up for? To fix my Scarlett Solo. Guess I understand why it was cheap now. Still, lasted many years though.

you should make a video for the new version with usb c

Just saved me 150 bills, Thanks!

Since you opened the thing, do you thing it would be possible to fix a scratchy pot (the monitor volume pot) with a spray of Deoxit? I am looking forward to buy a used 2i2 but it has that problem...

that solder iron is definitly not hot enough

Very Helpful video. Thank You so much for your valuable video. May God bless You.

Hi... I just start to fix the same problem as you. I also checked the pin connection and not conected to each other, but why my focusrite get heat and smoke from the USB connector?

I tried to do this a couple of years ago but i broke the pads, i may try to fix them when i get a heat gun

mine is focusrite 4i4 3rd generation. the green light doesn't come up when plugged, it's only the microphone's light that comes up when you push the button. pls how do I fix my sound card?

Is there a reason the old solder isn't melting? I have a wick, and tried melting new solder on top. Do i need a new gun? Starting to burn the board.

How in gods name is one supposed to remove the inner part out from the casing? Been hoking around and trying to separate mine for the last hour, with a sharp knife and screw driver, and it just won’t separate.

Great video. Thanks! Where do I buy the replacement part?

Subbed thanks for this video

Thanks!

I have a motu ultralite mk3 hybrid which works fine on firewire but wouldn't show if i connect usb. Do you think changing the usb port would fix the problem?

cheers guys!!

Can show me how i change the port on samson c03 usb mic

soldering is pain

can you please link where you got the parts from

Alguien despues de cambiar la ficha tuvo problema de conectividad ???

Thanks ima do this

where do i get the replacement part or what is it called I can’t figure it out

What do you call the copper wire thing that you use to absorb the solder?

I thought this would’ve been possible till around 1:40…how the hell am I supposed to do that?!

The female connector on this thing is horrible. Even if the center piece is still in, the 4 contacts don't stick up far enough to make good contact with the male connector. I had to use a small tool to pry my connectors up away from the plastic to actually make contact.

What Gen is this?

my aux output has a problem

How did you get the mother bored out the case

He is not a good solder.

What’s with the rubber gloves? Do you have a toilet to clean next?

What tools did u use
