I bought a used Digi 002R on ebay. When I plugin the Digi 002R into my Mac mini, the 002R is not recognized when starting the Pro Tools LE 6.9.3 application. The hard dive that is plugged into the back of the 002R is also not being recognized on the Mac Mini, not even in Disk Utility. I proceeded to check the hard drive by plugging it directly into the mac mini and it mounted without any issues. I tried starting up the Pro Tools 6.9.3 application with an Mbox and Pro Tools LE 6.9.3 worked flawlessly.
I thought it could not be loading due to a compatibility issue with Pro Tools 6.9.3, so I uninstalled Pro Tools 6.9.3 and installed Pro Tools LE 7.1. Again, the harddrive mounted without issue when plugged directly into the Mac mini. So, I unplugged the harddrive, plugged in the 002R, and again, Pro Tools did not recognize the hardware. The harddrive, when plugged into the back of the 002R, also did not mount on the Mac mini and was not recognized in Disk Utility. When I tried starting Pro Tools LE 7.1 with the Mbox it started flawlessly.
So, at this point I am at a loss. Is it 2 bad firewire ports? Is the 002R completely shot? Any ideas? Please? Email me at ryanprocopio@yahoo.com thanks so much.

What I didnt read was, does the 002R work WITHOUT the drive plug
What I didnt read was, does the 002R work WITHOUT the drive plugged into it??
What happens without the drive???
If it still doesnt work without the drive, do you hear clicking from the 002R, what are the lights doing??
02Rs have a power harness issue, pop the top off, follow the harness from the power supply to the components, one at a time remove a connector, and spray the contacts with Caigs Pro Gold, and reseat the connector, should be 6 or so. Oh yeah unplug it from the wall before you start.
