Straight to the board IIRC.

Broken Lombard Ethernet Port

[Tom Burke]

Hello the List!

It looks as if the ethernet port on my daughter's Lombard has broken. I 
don't know for certain yet, and this weekend we'll be able to test it 
out for sure on my network, but after some months of excellent DSL 
connection via a cable modem, she now gets nothing. The cable company 
engineer has attended, everything up to the Lombard tests out OK, and 
he even plugged in a known-good modem and cable, and this didn't 
improve her position. Her networking configuration is as it should be, 
so it's not that either.

I know how to do some jobs on the Lombard/Pismo series of PBs, but 
replacing the ethernet port is not something I've thought about before. 
Does the physical port connect straight into the logic board, or is it 
on a replaceable daughter-board? Any other advice for this situation? 
We've already thought of the 'connect a wifi base station to the cable 
modem and use a wifi card in the Lombard' solution; that effectively 
sets our cost ceiling for repairing the Lombard's ethernet setup.
