896mk3 FW won't connect

[jonwormwood]

I have a 828mk3 hybrid and Ultralitemk3 FW and they work fine but the 896 won't connect... I've reset the unit and nothing. Do I need to send it in?

Here is a response i wrote to a guy having issues with his 828MKIII :


- Is your 828 the only thing on the firewire bus?

- Have you tried using your 828 on the USB port.

- Can you route audio without firewire connection?

- If you can route audio in your 828 but cannot make connection (on the firewire port) with your Mac well.........you might have stumble on a burnt out firewire port. My 3 828MKIIs all did this in the same time frame (6 years)......even 1 that was never disconnected from the computer. Good news is that i have found a fix. It's a 2$ part. I've put a DIY thread on here that you can check.
