Hi

The RJ45 (ethernet) port of my studio 15 laptop has been damaged (the connections have come off). Is there anyway it can be fixed or does the entire motherboard have to be replaced?

What alternatives do I have?

Unfortunately, the warranty expired this june. Can it be repaired? I guess Dell will want to replace the entire motherboard.

still you should contact Dell and have them access it.
