Did this laptop come with Win7 pre-installed?
Has it worked under Win7 in the past?
Does the IEEE-1394 host controller show in Device Manager?

Windows 7 is factory pre-installed on my Sony Vaio laptop, I just bought it brand new, mainly because of firewire 4pin (i-link) input. As I mentioned it worked with no problem on my desktop which has Windows Vista. This is my first time trying get it working on my laptop with Windows 7 (never tested it on Windows 7 before).
IEEE-1394 host controller does show in Device Manager ! I just checked, frustrated

Time to call Sony support.

Bought a branded 4 pin to 4 pin firewire cable from BestBuy for $33. Worked perfect, detected by laptop right away. Sometimes the more you pay, the more quality you get, thanks for replying you all, guys, Merry Christmas !!!
