Onboard Ethernet Switch Replaceable

[TheKylieBoy]

Hello! Kyle here

 

Yesterday my onboard gigabit ethernet switch blew, and i'd like to know if there would be a way to replace it, i have an itx board so i wont be able to get a pcie network card.

 

Any suggestions apreciated,

Thanks

replace the board under warranty is your best option if you can.

 

Otherwise get a usb one, like this on https://www.startech.com/Networking-IO/usb-network-adapters/USB-3-to-Gigabit-Ethernet-NIC-Network-Adapter~USB31000S

To replace the actual onboard NIC, you'd need some series soldering skills. 

 

If your board is still under warranty, RMA it. If not, best option is to get a USB 3.0 to Gigabit ethernet adaptor.
