iBook (white) Firewire Port Failure

[Larry Blodgett]

I have discovered that my firewire port appears to have failed.  I
have tried everything I can think of in OS 9.2.2 and OS 10.2.1.  Can
mount anything (harddisks, CDs) .  When I try to mount the iBook
drive on another machine (command T starup), I get the firewire logo
but it does not mount on a know good G4.  Has anyone else experienced
a failure like this an how much does  it cost to repair??????  Any
help would be appreciated.  I can't believe my firewire is dead,
firewire is my life.

I tried sending this to the G-Books list and they totally ignored it.

In theory, practice and theory are the same,
but in practice they are different.
