There are many ways to find out a laptop, but this is the most absurd I have ever seen. The story of how a network cable ended in the LAN connector is very curious, and also the way to fix it. Is it possible?
A Reddit user (of course) was an almost surreal thing in his laptop. As you can see in the photo, The Ethernet cable plug is practically cast within LAN connector (RJ45). And he has asked for help to solve the problem. How can this disaster be undone?
According to the user Curious-Estimate-326 From Reddit, he was in the library using his Lenovo T480 ThinkPad labeve, but the Wifi connection was so slow, that he decided to connect it to the Internet by cable.
How to get a stuck peg from the LAN connector
He was so immersed in his work, that he did not realize that it was time to close. He tried to disconnect the Ethernet cable, but the peg had stuck, so he panicked and did not occur to him anything other than cut the cable with scissors, to leave before they closed.
Then he tried to extract the plug with a screwdriver, with a punch … and in the end ended up destroying it inside the connector, As seen in the photo.
Several electronics experts and repairs have given them ideas, and in the end there are three solutions that can be applied. Two are almost disposable, and one is the good one.
The first option would be to open the laptop, extract the complete RJ45 connector, with the molten plug inside, and replace it with another. Unfortunately it does not work, because In most laptops this connector is soldier to the plate.
Another option, the riskiest, is drilling the cable retention tab with a small drillfix a screw on the hole, and lower the tab with pliers to extract the clogged plug. But it is a very risky operation that requires a lot of pulse, because you can load the connector.
Finally, we have the good solution, which is also the simplest: leave the plug where it is, and use A LAN adapter connectable to a USB portwhich barely cost 8 euros on Amazon.
Es The most absurd fault I’ve ever seen in a laptop But, luckily, it has a very simple solution. Some of these LAN adapters per USB are also a hub with extra USB connectors, so you don’t lose any. Solved!
