Hi All I have a PM G5 2.7 Dual that apparently has a dead FW port, Kinda strange that the port supplies power but no data transfer?? So I have a repair manual that is very detailed for this particular machine.
The replacement method includes the removal of the logic board and power supply. When I look at it i wonder if I have to remove all that. Has anyone here done this service? I'm not at all incapable of this but it looks like it's not that involved, I have a new panel board on the way so when it gets here I'll replace it, also can anyone think of another reason the port is data dead. I ran ASD 2.5.8 on the machine and it reports all's well. One more thing I'll be installing a Jive 5 unit to increase the HDD count to 5 2TBs is there a heat issue that maybe I can address at the same time? Or should that be a separate topic?
