I had this happen on a Clamshell and it wasn't a bad FireWire port, (but not saying it's in your case), it just could be??? I ended up taking this mother board out of the one computer (Graphite and White) and putting it in an (Indigo and White) just because I wanted the 466mhz in place of the 366mhz (I knew the iPod didn't work but it would still charge) and when I did this my iPod worked in the Indigo but wouldn't in the Graphite so I figured it was the configuration with the HD??? Just saying before you go and invest in another mother board maybe swap it into another computer just to see if it works or swap the HD with one that is already set up and running an iPod or what ever FireWire devise you are using...
