From what I understand then most people think that it is too expensive to have their Traktor units repaired if outside warrenty , but you can of course ask N.I. Hardware Support for a price quote !

Of course ! , if there is a fuse in the unit (?) then check that !

As for the "after an electric blackout the traktor console s4 does not turn on anymore" then that is alas how it is. If there were a lightning strike then that can generate high voltages that can damage your equipment. Also in all cases of blackouts then the first thing to do is to turn off all your electrical equipment that could be damaged. Reason for doing that is that when power comes back then because of all the equipment attached inside and outside of your home then the power voltage will raise too slowly which can make some electric circuits malfunction during the power boot-up because the circuits were designed to run at a certain voltage why a lower voltage, even briefly, could make the circuit malfunction. (which is one reason for why what you have experienced can happen). So you don't want to turn on your equipment again before power is fully restored !

The above described is also why some people place units such as voltage and current protectors and UPS' before their electronic equipment.

Check with a voltmeter if the power supply still works.
