And firewire cables can go bad, too. Check that if you haven’t. Otherwise, no wise words from me (other than powercycle everything if you haven’t tried that).

When using 6-pin Firewire connectors, it is possible to plug them in around the wrong way, which puts 30v DC down one of the RX/TX pairs. This can (and does) fry firewire chips, on cards and firewire devices. I have seen it stuff a number of drives and even a deck once or twice.
I don’t know for sure if that’s what has happened to you, but it could be. You should be able to get a service centre to check your deck.

Thank’s.
Would you explain “it is possible to plug them in around the wrong way”?
It does has a special shape, which makes it impossible to connect in another way. Can it be the sides of the cable?
Is there a way to disconnect the DC from the fire wire card, so it wont happened in the future again?thank’s again…

The shape of the 6-pin plugs (with the little arrow) is such that it is still possible to plug it in around the wrong way (rotated 180degrees). It usually is a little difficult, but it will go if you force it.
I don’t know about avoiding it.
