How can I replace my FireWire port?
My MacBook Pro mid-2009 15" edition has a FireWire port that is not functioning. This MBP is not recognized in Target Disk Mode through FW800 on other Macs and when I connect a FW external HDD through the FW port, the MBP does not recognize the HDD. When I connect the HDD using a USB cable, the HDD is recognized. And when I connect the HDD using FW to a different Mac, the HDD is recognized. Eliminating all other possibilities, I have concluded that the FW port is not operational. Is there any way to replace it?
Is this a good question?
