A professor here had similar problems, it turned out to be a failing power brick for his 23" Apple display, which had pass-through FW and USB. Kind of annoying we dragged the beast all the way across campus (our bookstore is an official Apple repair depot) only to have it start perfectly when it got there. Then fail again, the moment I set it up back in his office...:-/ He ended up going through two more power supplies until he made Apple give him one for the 30" display, which has a much higher wattage, no problems since. Obviously if you don't have an Apple display, this won't apply.... -- Bruce Johnson "Wherever you go, there you are" B.
