Hi All
I have a PM G5 Dual 2.7. The front panel Firewire port seems to
have quit. A non powered device when plugged to it shows power but
never appears on the desk top nor do powered units. Is this the end
of my logic board or something I can fix?
This article about resetting fw ports might be of interest:

Briefly:
You can reset your FireWire ports by disconnecting all FW devices,
shut down your Mac and unplug it from AC power (wall socket) for 30
minutes. plug it back in and try FW. Much easier for those reading.
Original poster said it didn't work for them, though.
