A quicker and cheaper solution if you don't find the cause to be anything other
than replacing the logicboard is to buy a firewire PCI card with an an internal
header or port on it and connect this to your front firewire port.
It should end up working exactly the same.
I'm unsure whether the connections on the internal cable are exactly the same
though. You may have to use an adapter if not
