my firewire 800 port seems really loose...
it doesn't take much jostling for it to come off all together

im worried because i plan to do live music with my powerbook
and i have my sound card coming out of the firewire port...

one slip over the cable
comes deafening silence
followed by tomatoes for sure...

does anyone else have this problem?
should i bring it in?
bring it back?

thanks in advance.. you all are always so helpful

if its under warranty have apple reaplace it to avoid future problems !!!
