[QUOTE="Mirth, post: 1297284, member: 5242"] I posted the following on the dealmac forums too, but I thought someone here might have some advice: A couple of days ago I was working on my Lime G3/400 iMac when the power went out. When it came on again, everything was fine except that my firewire ports were no longer responding. I had a LaCie 20gb Ext FW HD on one port and a Lite-On DVD+-R/RW on the other. Apple System Profiler showed nothing on either port. After connecting/reconnecting the cords from each device to all of the ports, I finally got the LaCie HD to connect in one of the ports but not the other. I connected the Lite-On to the LaCie and I was back in business. Problem solved, or so I thought. I booted the iMac this morning and I'm back to the same problem I had before. Neither device is showing up. And no amount of switching cords and ports is helping. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm sunk without my firewire ports. Is there an inexpensive way to replace them or a software solution to repair them? Thanks in advance for any help. Mirth [/QUOTE]
