OT: DSR1500 Problems! PLEASE Help! Deadline tonight!

Oh... Goodness. I'm doing a project with the NTSC DV 720x460 Widescreen preset (Downres'ed from Sony's Z1u, using Cineform's Connect HD 1.5 through HDLink. Digitized the footage through HDLink and put that on the Vegas T/L.
I'm sitting here with a deadline almost come and gone and I'm STILL strugging to get my DSR 1500 to see my firewire. Very scarey.
The i.Link light on the pannel is flashing, so, to me, that means bad things. I push the REC button and I'm told that there is no Input. I know the cable is good, because the computer (using Sony Vegas 5.0d) can digitize from that deck.
I've started a new project and made sure i was on NTSC DV preset and put up some Generated Media to make sure the problem had nothing to do with the fact that the original footage was HDV. But even that didn't change the matter.
I've gone through the menues as best I'm able, but must be missing something.
ANY help and advice is greatly appreciated. My frustration level is nearing max and I'm close to my rope's end.

A couple of maybe obvious things to try.
plugged another device in ,to make sure the card is OK ?
Reboot
unplug the power to the deck , then plug back in.

Good luck

Edit:
After a LONG 2+ hour battle, I've won! It was exhausting and emotionally draining ;-), but I'm now getting passthrough.
No specific solution, but with some help on another forum, where I was given very specific settings on the 1500 and some other tries, all's well now.
Thanks for checking all help!
