TekMedaiGroup has the necessary tools and know-how to repair any firewire-related issues. We have repaired thousands of such problems successfully by replacing the (I-link) chip (as compared to replacing the whole board). This technique not only saves you substantial amounts of money, it also maintains the factory setup.

 
Even though the plug and socket will only fit completely together properly in one direction, there is still power present if either device is powered on.

Proper I.link connections information

Care must be taken when connecting the  i.LINK ( IEEE 1394 / FIREWIRE) into your PC / MAC Computer or other Device. The i.LINK connector design is dictated by the IEEE 1394 industry standard and the socket and cable are constructed with a keyed guide to assist with proper installation. It is necessary to visually confirm that the plugs and sockets are lined up correctly for proper installation and to prevent damage to the internal circuitry of the units.yes" Even though the plug and socket will only fit completely together properly in one direction, there is still power present if either device is powered on. color:black"If there is an attempt to insert the plug INCORRECTLY (wrong polarity) the PC / MAC Computer or other Device can supply power to the signal pin of the i.LINK. This directly connects to the i.LINK IC and can damage the circuit. In order to prevent accidental damage, the

Following steps must be followed

  • Power down the Computer / Device and DVCAM Connect the i.LINK cable to the    Computer / Device by visually confirming proper fit and polarity.
  • Connect the i.LINK cable to the DVCAM by visually confirming proper fit and polarity.
  • Turn on the power to the Computer / Device and then the DVCAM
  • Please review these instructions carefully
  • Damage to the DVCAM i.LINK components caused by improper installation is not covered by Tekmg warranty.
