I have a Dell desktop PC which has an ethernet socket. I was trying to install broadband and the installation process informed the PC does not appear to have an ethernet socket.
So I had a look at the ethernet socket and I noticed that about three of the metal strips inside the socket have been bent out of shape.
I suppose each of these metal strips has to be in perfect alignment with the metal strips on the ethernet plug? I suppose I can't just detach the bent metal strips inside the ethernet socket?
Is it possible to easily replace the ethernet socket in the PC?
I had a look inside and the socket appears to be connected down into the circuit board. I'm not sure if it's soldered in, or maybe it's only plugged in...
Thanks for any advice...!
