[QUOTE="PowerBookG4, post: 99140, member: 8394"] I am guessing that it would not be safe to continue use of your internal firewire, I am not sure though. Did you try to put the plastic piece back in? If you could find somebody who could sodder a new piece back on I wouldn't see a problem with that, just make sure that they line it up with the case so when they put it back together that you can actually get a plug in there. Also don't know about what soddering a new port would do for your apple care protection plan. [/QUOTE]
