Need help with Mbox 2 =(

[studio LE]

ive been using a powerbook g4 with protools 6.8.1 and the mbox 2. ive recording a few songs but i recently let my friend use it and when i got it back.... its not working.

pro tools will power and it will play back but soon as i hit the "R" for record the bar goes all the way to the highest yellow but not high enough to the red to clip and just stays there. cant record a thing. when i hit record a hear a pop sound and it records silence

i dont know if theres a way to pump to much power into the mbox as if they might have blown something or it they screwed up something with the channles. but this problem happens with both phantom power and non. i know they were using non phantom powered mics.

if you can give me a tip or even just confirm its shot that'd be great.
if thats the case any ideas on a in expensive may to run and record while using pro tools? thanks -mike

please email happyhour6@hotmail.com if you think you can help
thanks again
