PS5 ethernet socket broken - 2months old
Discussion

As per the title the socket is broken (I can see the metal strips are misaligned). Would this be covered under warranty as the unit is two months old?
I've tried customer services but it's shut.
TIA
Assuming these are the 8 thin ones deep inside the socket then they can only be damaged by insertion of the wrong type of connector or a screwdriver or similar.I've tried customer services but it's shut.
TIA
Looking at some pics of the PCBA, the connector is surface mount so is not an easy repair, can be replaced with the right tools if the correct part is available.
If you need cable ethernet you could try using a usb to ethernet adapter in one of the USB ports if not being used, something like this, no idea if it will work though.
