I rarely use the firewire ports on my Macs, but yesterday I needed to connect a firewire card reader and found out that my port was not working.
My Mac is a Mid 2010 Core i5 MacBook Pro with only one firewire 800 port, it's not showing up on system profiler, although it is powering up my card reader (its led lights up).
I did an extensive research about it and tried everything I could, including reset PRAM/SMC, clean reinstall OS, repair permissions, safe boot, but nothing helped.
I do not believe it is hardware related, since it still powering up the devices, but I don't know what to do now.
