IEEE 1394 (firewire) Help

[KGB-911]

Hey,

I have a firewire port on my case, and firewire on my mobo...

but i cannot wire the two up as they have differant markings on the pins to the mobo's manual..

------------------------
Motherboard Pin Plugs;

1: TPA+
2: TPA-
3: GND
4: GND
5: TPB+
6: TPB-
7: Power
8: Power
9: ------
10: GND

------------------------
Case Pins;

1: TPA +
2: TPA-
3: TPB +
4: TPB-
5: SHGND
6: VP
7: VG

------------------------

I understand the firs 4, but what about the other 3...

Does anyone know where they should go?

Thanks,

KGB

be careful KGB

i got this wrong on my internal usb and now the pins on the mobo are dysfunctional!

seek some professional advice my friend.

 

[KGB-911]

That is what i am doing here... someone smart must know

 

[psd99]

good on ya

cuz if u didnt consult ud probably smell the smoke like i did!

 

[KGB-911]

what did you do wrong with the USB, they have 4 pins per USB port, 3 of them are in a block anyway

not much mistakes you can make... maybe it was a dud mobo

 

[psd99]

take a look at the pics i posted:
https://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-13900-1.php

what it was was there was two usb leads with 4 pins on them each
there was more than one way i could plug them in

my mobo usb was alrite untill then even my 4 additional usb thing dont work nemore it used to fit in the pci place but run off of the usb pins on the mobo

google it, they vary.

 

[KGB-911]

I tried, and couldnt find anything...

the "SHGND" will go in one of the "GND" sockets, and the VP & VG will be the power...

I have a 50% chance of getting the power ones in the right way, or maybe it dosent matter..

I cannot find anything, so iam just going to have to try

YA UC#@IG PIEC3 OF $(*£!
------------------------------------------

Firstly i would like to thank PSD99 for his expert advice, that i should wait until i know what i am doing.

Seccondly i would like to say i am a stupid git for not taking that advice

Thirdly i would like to ask if anyone wants a metal box for £500 - it has no use.

-----------------

Yup lads, you guessed it, i blew my brand new computer. it no longer works, it no longer does anything. the fans dont start, the light dosent come on.

thank s PSD for warning me, i dont know why i didnt take your advice. it was the worst mistake i have made.

i am back to using my crap laptop. I hate this laptop now, i will not be on PCR until monday.

Good Bye

 

[psd99]

your welcome for the advice, its unfortunate that u didnt take it all on board,

come on my friend FEAR NOT!

The damage is repairable, beleive me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

u are just suffering from that initial OHH NOOOO feeling.

well hope to type to u soon!

 

[KGB-911]

repairable? no
replaceable? yes

I wander if Aria will replace it...

or will i be forking out another £56.35?

 

[KGB-911]

lol!

i just phoned their returns department and got told "i'm sorry our returns department are experiencing a high volums of customer calls"

that dosent sound good for Aria!

 

[psd99]

listen long shot

but if ur surre the mobos gone

how about visiting a local pc shop to see if they can repair it for u?

obviously a replacment 4 free would be ideal but what u gona tell them?

 

[muckshifter]

Sorry KGB I feel quiet ashamed ... I was constructing an answer for you last night, but it was 1am and I was quite tired. I went to bed.

... the bottom line I was going to make was. Don't try it and get a Fireware Card instead.

So sorry.

 

[KGB-911]

DOnt worry Mucks, what's done is done... It was my stupidity.

I have got off the phone with them, and they say up to 28 days before it will be replaced (if it was found to be faulty)

I am not impressed, Dabs has a 2 day return. i asked for a return from them. 2 days later my replacement part turned up, and a bag to put the old one in.

I cant wait a month!

 

[KGB-911]

And they will still probably say no

 

[psd99]

damn thats a shame

what u telling them then?

28 days is a v long time are they near u? go down there in person if tis near.

 

[KGB-911]

nope, they are in manchester i am in dorset.

I have ordereed a new one from them (because i had to get it from them, it is the only place i can find it)

and am going to send the dud one back to them, i have asked for a refund. i should have a new one on friday or monday, and HOPEFULLY they will give me money back...
