Golfragnabbit ! Mini 2012 FW800 port bites the dust

Try a SMC reset.

The FW ports on a Mac can be temporarily disabled if there's a surge. If that occurs then a SMC reset will bring them back.

I think it's simply a complete power off, i.e. disconnect the FireWire cable, unplug the power to the computer and wait a few minutes.
Pulling the power cord resets the SMC on several Macs, but not all.

No, I was referring to the polyfuse in the FireWire PHY. Sorry about the ambiguous statement.

Resetting a polyfuse (polyswitch) just requires complete de-energizing for a few minutes.
