Default Mbox 2 mini not recognized. Protools LE 8.05 . Mac OS 10.5.8 PLEASE HELP!!!

I recently update from Protools LE 7.4.2 to 8.0.5 and my computer (Macbook pro OS 10.5.8) will not recognize my mbox 2 mini. This is the version that Avid told me would be compatible when I spend 40 dollars to call them.....it still wont work.

The can actually get the light on the Mbox to turn on sometimes (most of the time it doesn't) but my system still doesn't recognize the interface. I've tried clean uninstall and reinstalling several time and I have no luck.

The Mbox 2 preference panel in my system setting is telling me "firmware not available". Ive tried to download firmware updaters but my mbox has to be connected for them to run so that is no help.

I've thoroughly searched the Avid site for help but nothing has worked. If anyone has a similar problem and been able to fix it please let me know.
It would be very very appreciated.

Thank you

Sounds to me like a hardware problem. Have you tried a different usb cable?

What mac is this?

If you accidentally updated to 10.5.8 the i'm guessing you did this via software update.

You might want to download the 10.5.8 combo installer from the Apple site and see if that clears up the issue as software update is bad news for Pro Tools.
