[CUBE] dead FW?

[Steve Goldstein]

Francois,

I lost my FW port on a Cube that, eventually, Apple had to take back 
because they could no longer fix it after MANY attempts.  They gave 
me the newest Quicksilver at the time as a replacement, but my wife 
still uses my other Cube (one of the very first made) which never 
gave me any trouble.  Sad fact is that your FW port(s) can die, and I 
think that the entire logic board might have to be replaced to fix 
it.  Problem is that I am not aware of ANY new replacement parts on 
the market, and you would probably get a re-manufactured board.  In 
my experience with my bad Cube, remanufactured parts bring yet new 
sets of problems.  But, you might get lucky.
