I think it's time to write A&H Support, see what they recommend. Maybe it'll be an out-of-warranty repair at a competent shop. If that falls through, I am fairly competent at soldering PCBs. Then it'll come down to how much trust exists between friends.

Thanks for all the advice. I'll likely post again as things progress.
Hi Q,

Attached is a document for checking/soldering the FireWire bus ground links. If you have the unit open already and are able to use a soldering iron it's quite straightforward.
Let me know if you need more...

Cheers,
Mike.
