OP said even the USB connection did not work, I think. That is
usually a direct connection nothing to do with any cards... but come
to think of
ISTR a problem with early PCI Macs and making all 'power' connections
to the ADC card.
Is the card original. or have you put in an 'upgrade'?

Nothing. No lights, the USB ports don't work. And the computer does
not recognize that anything is connected. (when i connect from remote
desktop or a second monitor)
I am thinking now that it is the main power board. When i hold the
flashlight to it as suggested by Kris, there is no image.

Hold a flashlight up to the LCD when booted to see if you can see any
image on the screen. If you see an image, it's the backlight being
burnt out. If you don't see an image, it cou

HiYa Jorg,
your input and suggestions are wonderful, but I think I would need
tools built by Q for James Bond to pull it off. I am also still sold
on these seams being glued. When I apply a lot of weight to the case
these longitudinal (?) seams don't open or change one whit that I can

Hi Richard,
Those photos look exactly like my Porsche brick only yours would be
bigger as it is for an optical drive ...
You will have to try to insert two small blades in the cracks of the
case (two at once on one side at the height of the feet) and then push
the bottom down a bit on that side

I'll try to get something on flikr.
I've never used it, but it's another skill that would be handy to
have.

Hi,
I opened a Porsche LaCie external (looks like a small brick with no
features at all) with a kitchen knife once and it was a lot of
fiddling around. It was a cheap sale item with a 500 GB disk in it. I
needed the disk as an internal. When I put a smaller disk back in I
broke something on the v

Hi Ernest...
It has no 'manufacturers data plate' as one might expect one to look
like.
There is a tiny sticker over the firewire ports ...very tiny... with a
number string on it, but I have no idea whether it's a serial number
or not.
That number is: "890311121069C514" and there really is

Since mine is an optical drive, mischievious x-rays aren't much of a
concern for me.
Also Dennis is probably accurate in his observation, Metal drive
housings would be pretty handy in most instances to fend off xrays.
I think my best option is someone who has either done it before or can
point me

X-rays should not have an adverse effect on a hard drive. It is metal
which will block the X-rays and shield the interior of the drive.

Update:
The Case appears to be 100% plastic upon taking another look at it.
Someone just advised to 'check under the feet' and that didn't bear
fruit. My assessment -revised- is that the case is constructed of a 5
sided box with openings at front and rear for firewire jacks and the
