Topic: Fireface 802 not connecting to PC
Hey peoples!
This is my first post! I've had this 802 for a few years now and it's just stopped working. I was moving some stuff around the studio and when I set it back up, there were no lights for the USB/Fireface connection. I've tried it with a couple of different computers and the result is the same.
I opened it up because it's way past warranty as I heard some small thing rolling around inside the machine. It turned out to be three plastic things???? I don't know what they were, they did not appear to be part of anything but surely was leftover from when it was built........:/
I've tried the Firewire 400 and 800 connections as well as the USB on two different computers. I had read that sometimes if you unplug the firewire while the unit is on, that it can damage the port. It was suggested to switch to the 800 port which I did but to no avail.
Any ideas what it may cost to get this thing fixed? Any chance I can order parts and do it myself? I would appreciate any input that you have.
Here is a video I made of the inside and those plastic things.
