Hey guys, I need some help because my computer is being a pain in the ass. It's a Toshiba laptop purchased in 2002 or 2003 and it's running Windows XP. The Cat 5 cable keeps wiggling out of the port, causing me to lose my connection frequently. I tried two other Cat 5 cables but the same thing happened, which leads me to believe that it's the port. Here's the question: how much would it cost to bring my computer into CompUSA or some place like that and have it looked at and repaired? My friend told me that because it's a laptop it's harder to work on and more expensive to have repaired. He also said that I can buy an external port (I think). How much would that run? Thanks for your input!
