Easy. It runs well, but a part keeps failing. My Pismo was like that.

hi there
last night, after a restart, my firewire port stopped working .. for me it's
a big problem, i've got all my work on a external drive and i always use a
lot of firewire devices ...
so ... i went on apple discussions, where i saw that a lot of people had the
same problem (it happened

The catch is- what is considered a non-abuse failure. Ie, I just had to send

Try pbparts.com. They gave me a quote in advance for fixing the hinges on my
Wallstreet, very reasonable.
I've used them and been very happy, they're good guys.
Does Apple use a phy chip on their FireWire port?
Is the Firewire interface a standard TI PCI firewire part with internal phy?
hi there
i'm not so happy about the titanium, i hoped that an apple notebook had more
quality inside it ...
btw, if u got a firewire port dead try to make a reset as i indicated, maybe
u'll be luckier than me:)
Alvise,
You apparently never owened a RebA Pismo. Sound board issues, HDD

Has anyone experienced failure of the Firewire ports on their TiBook?
Mine is dead but I do not have the hardware test CD for the book yet,
I haven't gotten it from the original owner yet.
I wanted to add something here, a little off-topic:

I did... Twice actually. If you check the apple archives, it's one of the
most common tibook failures. I did a bunch of research into it for awhile.
From compiling information it seemed to have something to do with it being
Also, who has been here since 1999? Do you

I apologize for this. I would like to nip this in the bud right now.

deal anymore, I got my ducks in a row now.

It's a pretty expensive fix without applecare, requiring a motherboard
replacement.

Yes firewire no longer responding on TiBook500 OSX, ...maybe

Jeremy, that is great, but what about warranty stuff? I am not about
to pay for a new logic board if it is under warranty.
How does this apply to me? This is a warranty issue (and I won't pay
it, it never worked for me, I would have the original owner to pay
it).

situations, and arranging payment for them, as part of a very large

Granted, probably larger than me (I only deal with about 10-15 apple
