I've got a MOTU 896HD as my primary studio sound card. Anyway, after a while, as you know, firewire 400 plugs can wear down a bit and can be accidentally plugged in backwards. Well, unfortunately a few drinks don't go well with hot swapping firewire devices and now the firewire is blown in my MOTU. It turns on just fine, and I'd imagine it works otherwise, it's just the firewire that doesn't work.
What my question is: I've had it for a while so it's way out of warrantee. Is this something that I could have fixed locally, or would it be something that I'd absolutely have to send it to MOTU to fix? Has anyone had experience with that sort of thing? How much should I expect it to cost? I'd imagine it would cost a load to have MOTU fix it, and plus it would probably take a long time to ship it back and forth.
Any suggestions of how I can best get it back up and running so I can get back to recording some tunes?
