Okay, so I bought a 6 pin to 4 pin Firewire cable to transfer all my files from my PowerMac G4 to my new MacBook Pro 13". I bought this cable.

I found on the forums a thread saying the 4 pin would work my 9 pin FW
port in the new MBP.
Anyways, the cable doesn't fit, and now if I put the cable near the slot, my
MacBook Pro shuts off. Doesn't sleep. Just turns off.
Now, I'm guessing some people are thinking that I tried to jam the cable in
and messed up something with the innards. Honestly, I didn't try to force the
cable in.
Is this an issue with the cable? Or my MacBook? Should I take my MBP to
the Genius bar?
thanks,
harrison
