However, SMT is delicate it is not impossible to repair the NIC connector. I
would do it for the original poster for free under the condition, that he or
she pays all S&H to me and does all the organisation work which is necessary
to deal with customs. I'm in the center of Europe but outside from the
customs point of view :-(
So far I've sucessfully repaired 3 NIC ports and everything worked smoothly
and took me only 10min :-) The condition is that the broken NIC connector is
not lost and PCB tracks are't damaged beyond repair. Since this can be
verified only after opening and measuring I would extend my repair service
to mounting a DongleKiller (see
http://slsbd.psi.ch/~mmailand/Npages/DK/DK.html ) if necessary. This would
however add some bucks for the material...
