Dear WAMUG’ers, 

The Ethernet port of my iMac 21.5”, Mid 2014 , 1.4GHz Intel Core i5 and 9GB 
1600 MHz DDR3 seems to have gone South. The iMac is running High Sierra 
10.13.6. 

I have checked Network Utility which indicates that the Ethernet is ‘Not 
Connected’ and have done the usual checks of swapping cables, using a brand new 
one, swapping the port on my modem/router, reset the NVRAM. All to no avail. 

Does this mean the iMac needs to go to the hospital and see a specialist? And 
which hospital is the recommended one? Can the Ethernet port be replace or is 
this hard-wired to the mother board?

Please note that the Wi-Fi works and I can keep working on the iMac, but 
knowing something is not right is the proverbial thorn in my foot and I need to 
have it fixed. 

Any advice you can give me will be gratefully accepted and tried. 

Many thanks & best regards to all, 

Philippe Chaperon
