Topic: (FF400 not recognized - URGENT

Hi !

I use FF400 with a Windows XP configured PC.

After 2 years of proper use with no problems, the card does not get recognized anymore.  I have tried the following:

- Using FF port 1 and port 2
- Changing the cable
- Changing computers.

I have plugged another FF400 (from a friend) on the PC and it works great.  Mine doesn't work anymore. 

Please HELP !  A 800 Euro card cannot possibly not work anymore after 2 years of studio usage.

Thanks very much !

Seems like the FW controller chip may be damaged. You should contact your local distributor for tests and service if necessary.

Hi to everyone. I guess I have the same problem, but it occured after 2 months of using. So I shouldn't be worried due to warranty but (knowing specific polish servicemen attitude) I have a question, is it possible that I will be told that it could be my computer's fault (macbook pro TI firewire chip) and they will not repair it?

Slowly...are you sure that you can record? Check again. If record and playback don't work, but TotalMix allows to route input to output (means listen) then the serial number is missing in the unit.

Hi Matthias-thanks for speedy response and sorry for sounding panicked!-yep definitely records through to Ableton live via the ff400--still no output..the Totalmix mixer windows don't open either. How do I check if serial number on unit?

Hi Matthias
Any response on this? tried linking up soundcard through an external HD but still Total mix looks corrupted. Is this what everyone is moaning about? oh and my brand new MBP is the rev06000 chip set unfortunately.
Any other suggestions on what I can do?
