Topic: FF firewire connector has come loose

Hi, one of the FW800 connectors in my FF has come loose. I've opened it up and fished it out. My question - will the second FW800 connector still work OK? There has been no damage other than the connector simply breaking off from the motherboard, none of the motherboard tracks have been ripped or otherwise damaged. Obviously I'll need to get this fixed at some point but right now isn't convenient.

Cheers,

Andy.

Ah OK, that's helpful.

I'd still like to know if it's going to be OK to use the other FW800 connection meantime?

Cheers,

Andy.

Humm.... I've spend a good while Googling for firewire sockets here in the UK and can find nothing. Does anyone here know where I might get replacements?

Cheers,

Andy.

Ah, the distributers, I hadn't considered that. Thanks, Daniel.
