I don't think so Morne, at least not without replacing the entire motherboard.
If that's indeed the case (that it's very expensive), one inexpensive way around this may be to buy a usb ethernet adapter, and just stop using the built-in one. Or, hold the cable in place with some tape. I've got the same problem with an old, but still quite good, IBM thinkpad, and it's power cord jack, which has grown too loose to hold the power cord in place reliably. I was told by a hardware tech that those kinds of jacks could not be replaced on a laptop. hth, Chip -----Original Message----- From: Morne Van der Merwe [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, May 01, 2010 5:32 PM To: GW Info Discussion List Subject: odd question concerning computers Hi list, I know this is off topic, but I need your advice. I use a laptop computer with a built in network card. You all know that when you plug in a network cable, it makes a click sound while entering the slot on the computer. The cable would be tight then. My Toshiba laptop does not do that. I can still enter the network cable in to the slot, but it is not as tight as always and I don't hear the click sound. I tried several cables, but they also don't go in very tight. You can remove them easaly. Can one replace a network card or just the slot on a laptop?
