Firewire does not work

I think I forced a firewire cable backwards into one of the jacks and the firewire has not worked since then. I need to fix it but don't know how much hardware I need to replace. It does not appear to be on a card. I have no empty PCI slots on this computer because it's running an early version of Pro Tools. So I guess I need to know how put new Firewire into this old dog? Thanks

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

You'd need a new logic board or a PCI firewire card. Consider a MDD. You can probably get a dual 1.44 GHz for $200 now. 4 hard drive bays, firewire 400 & 800
