so we have this FW enclposure at work with a CDRW in it, well it turns on, the the case led light for on comes on, but the drive wasn't working so I took the drive out. put it into a G4, works fine, tried putting it back in QUE! FW case, no worky, sys admin says, fine, take broky FW case home, no work no good here. So I was wondering, anyone knwo why the cases power led would come on but it won't give drives power? The wires seem fine, and there is no fuse, the power bricks light also comes on...

I recently had a similar problem with a EZQuest Cobra. The enclosure is on the way back under warranty, I'm guessing that the FireWire to IDE bridge board is fried. Sounds like the same problem you are having. If the drive is under warranty, call or email QUE! and get the enclosure repaired/replaced. If you took the drive out without getting permission from QUE!, you are out of luck and can trash the enclosure and get a new one from OWC or similar. You could try to just buy the bridge board (they have them at FWDepot) and use the enclosure (the power supply is obviously still good.
