Default 1394 light on my Digi 002 Rack blinks and locks up

I'm having some frustration with my Digi 002 Rack. When I launch PTs, the 1394 light flashes at the point when my screen says DAE Loaded. At that point my system locks up until I shut down ProTools. It started intermittently last week and now it happens every time. I'm making a lot of progress lately on my writing and recording, so this has been really frustrating for me. Do you have any advise as to how I can get past this? Thanks a lot for all of your help.

I'm curious about this as well because I've had the same thing happen. It was usually remedied by a restart.

Are you using an onboard firewire device or a PCI card?
If PCI card, which one?

I found this as a problem on a MAC that was diagnosed as a firewire conflict. It said to clear the firewire cache. I have no idea how to do this on a PC or if you even can. I ended up seperating my backup hard drive and my 002r one on the onboard and one on the PCI card and it seemed to go away.

Good luck!

You both have a problem with your power supply/power harness in your 002. Me, as well as many others have experienced this. Call digi and they will send you a new power harness and power supply.

What I'm describing is not the power harness issue. I experienced that a couple of years ago. What we're describing is a flashing 1394 light which I believe is due to some firewire conflict.

The way you know it's power harness is the 002r "resets" itself. it's easy to tell because it gives you the "clicks" when powering up and the mute is engaged.

Have you tried a different cable? There is not too much that can go wrong....

No.

It solved itself when I took the backup drive off the same 1394 controller.

I'm having a similar problem with my Digi002Rack. When it powers up the mute red light is (obviously, but the 1394 green led is off. I can hear repeated 'clicks' as if the unit tried to connect to the firewire with no success. The mute remains on and there's nothing I can do. I tried different cables and a different computer (a Mac instead of a PC), same result. Is this a 002 hardware problem ?

Yes, it is the infamous "Power Harness" problem. Contact Digidesign by phone, and they will ship the fix to you ASAP.

As a temporary workaround, unplug the unit, open it, and reseat the power harness.
