This Arturia Beatstep Pro was given to me with a broken USB port, which is a typical failure point on a Beatstep Pro. I desoldered the old usb port with a hot air soldering station.

I cleaned the pcb. Some of you wanted to know the values of the smd parts close to the usb port, here you go.

Finally I soldered a new usb port with a fine soldering tip using thin solder and some flux.

I wanted to test the new usb connector by updating to the latest OS. Be sure you have the right cable. Some are just for charging purposes other also do the data transfer.

There are lethal voltage exposed in electronic devices. Unless you know what you are doing, don’t try this. If you following along, you doing so at your own risk.
