[gary adcock] “FW carries power”
It was my understanding that only the 6-pin configuration carried power… which is why all 4-pin devices have their own separate power supply. All of the problem devices described above are 4-pin devices. Could their 4-pin ports be affected by power coming through the 6-pin connector on the other end of the cable?!? (i.e., from the computer, from the FS-100).

Well, just to update for anyone else following this thread:
I’m still troubleshooting, but further research indicates that if the pins on the 6-pin side of a 4 to 6-pin cable get cross-connected, the cable can send power back down the pipe where it shouldn’t be.
Another, more likely possibility, is that the port itself has withsood a physical jolt, or years of wear that finally have disconnected it just enough from the board to stop working.
Either way, it seems that the next logical step is to open some cases and have a look around.

so i had the same issue the FW port on my HVX 200a will not recognize the FS-100 but if I plug the FW camera to computer to dump the P2 card the connection is recognized via the pc /dub setup. If it fried then would it work at all?

Nick:
I’d say no. Ours stopped working with both the FS-100 and via PC/DUB. Sounds like you may have a different issue. Double-check your menu settings for both the camera and the firestore.James Brady
