Diagnosing a bad FireWire port
Authored by: ackfeldwire on Jul 19, '04 11:34:13AM

Ok guys, I know this sounds like a cop out but here is the fix. I had a OS 9 box with this same problem. Then this morning I went to go plug in my iPod and low and be hold the frekin Firewire port was dead on this NEW G4 dual processor box.

The Ports were not even re registering. Here is how I fixed it though. In the previous machine that I had I had bought a firewire PCI card once I did that I never had a firewire problem again. Soooooo I took that card out of the Old OS 9 box (dont need it there anymore) and put it in this new G4 Box and it works just fine. No glitches so far. Plus I did not even need to load software.

Good luck all,
