Clay,
There is one minor indicator to look for, with the radio connected and
powered on and connected to the computer, you should see the reflection
of the a small green light from inside the radio by looking directly at
the FireWire connector on the rear of the radio, kind of like a FW link
light. But you you don't see the light, then there definitely a FW
problem in the radio or FW card, but since the 5K works, then it would
be in the radio. Have your friend request a RMA number..

A friend recently purchased a used 3000 from a mutual friend. When he
first powered the radio up, everything worked fine. When he tried to
start it later, nothing. He un-installed everything and tried again
but his Firewire driver didn't see the radio. I brought the 3000 home
with me and connected it to my laptop (last used with my 5000). The
radio appeared to power up normally but the driver (3.4.0.7171) didn't
find it. At a last resort, I unplugged my 5000 from the desktop
machine, and plugged in the 3000. The Firewire driver (3.5.2.8028 and
V2.0.0 Beta) on that machine doesn't see it either. I moved the
Firewire cable back to my 5000 and it works fine, so I'm sure there
isn't a cable problem.
At this point, do I assume that the 3000 should be returned for
repair, or is there some other step that I may have missed? When
changing radios, do I need to reboot the PC?
Thanks,
Clay W7CE
