Controller good, damaged port?

[Kc7vwc]

Simply put, did I damage the physical port of my NIC while the 'controller' remains perfectly fine? 

Was rerouting my Ethernet cable across my basement and when I pulled my PC forward to reinsert cable, the power cable pulled from PSU. Upon reboot, no network. After buying a new cable, (previous was OLD 50 footer) and then testing with a spare router & 2' cable, the port itself seems bad. 

The BIOS and windows both show the killer NIC as there & working properly, but it's "disconnected." No lights, nothing on router either. I used my air can to make sure nothing was jammed inside it too...

Any advice?

@harry4742 Bingo! One pin was a little lower than the others. Tiny screwdriver & 2min later seems I'm back to full working order.
