[QUOTE="ms612, post: 395049, member: 31269"] Hi there! I'm using a power mac G4 dual processor with OSX 10.3.9 and I've blown a total of 4 firewire ports on various peripherals- -a cd burner --that was awhile ago, i may have hot-swapped it-- but after being very careful to power down each time I plug in a firewire cable, I've also blown fw ports on: -sony vx2000 camera -sony trv900 camera -sony DSR-11 video deck I'm starting to lose my mind, the video deck went yesterday, and I definitely powered down before plugging in anything. I could cry, as these are all so expensive to replace the ports!! Why in the world is this continually happening? What can I do to prevent it? I'm terrified of spending bazillions to fix them and then have it happen again. Is it a 6-pin to 4-pin issue? Please any advice would be appreciated. I'm about to throw it all out the window and go live in a cave somewhere! Thank you in advance for your help!! [/QUOTE]
