hello guys, as title says, my DJ Control Impulse 200 MK2 does not even turn on, no lights turn on. no pop-up notifications and so forth.

MacBook Air with M3 chip, macOS version is 15.1 Sequoia. 

my MacBook doesn't have a USB port so I use a usb-typeC port, it works when I plug a usb-drive but cannot work with my dj controller. 

I appreciate your help!

Hello Ayanokyan,

Welcome to the user forum.
I suspect your USB-C to USB-A port adapter has not enough USB bus power. Some very cheap USB adapter to not provide enough power for USB audio or USB video (webcam) devices, which require more power than a USB key.
You should
- either use a USB-C to USB-A adapter from a brand (as Apple : it is more secure to avoid USB-C adapters sold below US$ 5, as their price may come from being not complete)
- or use USB hub which has a power adapter.
