Hi everyone!
I'm asking for help for my "new" blue and white PowerMac G3 400 Mhz that I'm refurbishing.
Everything seemed to work and I was so happy! but I realized during the final test that the firewire ports don't work...
I tried with both OS 9 and OS X... nothing.
If I connect an external firewire HD "LaCie" (powered by its own power) it turns on from its standby state but is not mounted on the Mac desktop.
In System Profiler the ports are detected but it does not show me connected drives. Obviously the firewire drive in question works if connected to another Mac.
Can any of you help me? Is the firewire module (metal box) mounted on the logic board burned?
or worse... has the controller firewire (if present) on the logic board burned out?
Thanks to anyone who can give me some tips/advice.
