If you can solder, then the quickest and cheapest option is to replace the jack yourself.

Yep, I have replaced all the connectors on my V2 already, lots of plugging and unplugging over the years. Pretty straight forward on changing them but not for a novice.

Just bumping this up to the top... Paul do you have the part number for the RJ45 connector on the bottom?

Mine has been broken forever, so I took my V2 apart and it looks super simple to replace. If I can save myself 20 minutes of going through datasheets and tracking down the right RJ45 header that would be awesome!

Thanks

Its GTK Connector

But this Molex part is equivalent from Digikey

Hmmm both of those look to be out of stock at both digikey and Mouser. Do you know if it cross references to any other part number?

Thanks

No sorry, that's the only reference I have.

Isn't RJ45 the same as a plain ethernet jack...?

Yes, but its just a matter of finding one in the proper form factor that fits the V2 case.
