Hi All! I need to replace the RJ45 connector on this laptop, Packard Bell EasyNote TH36-AU-00RIT model no. PAWF7 but I’m unable to locate the manufacturer of the part. The code printed over the shield seems not so usefull here in Europe. Could you guys help me to find an alternative spare part to use for this work? The pinout is 8P8C with staggered pins, angle mount with hole. The other 2 socket pins are on the front, past the middle of connector. Thank you very much for your help! Find attached some pics with dimensions.
Update (03/28/2018) Hi guys, thank you for your replies! Already searched for Tyco connectors with no luck, this model seem to not exist anywhere, also on aliexpress (and alibaba too)..! @avanteguarde I agree with you it would be easier and cheaper to use a USB to Eth adapter but the customer wants so badly his rj45 connector back. I post here a picture of the inside, but it’s useless because one pin used on cross it’s broken, the others from 2 to 7 are bented down..the only ones working are, in fact, 1 and 8. It needs a replacement. Find attached also a picture of the pcb lifted up with solder pins exposed. I’m going crazy finding a connector with the same pins dimensions and position.
Thank you again for your help guys!
Would it be easier, quicker and cheaper, to simply purchase a USB to Ethernet adapter? https://www.amazon.co.uk/UGREEN-Ethernet… Also, I used to repair RJ-45 jacks for a living. Can you post a picture, well-lit, of the INSIDE of the jack? Chances are you don’t need to replace this. A lot of times pins 1 and 8 (first and last pins) are bent lower than the rest. If so, you can ‘gently’ use a paperclip to pry back the pins to either level with the others or slightly higher. This would resolve most issues. If the customer insists on replacing the jack, the RJ45 is not hard to find as long as you are comfortable soldering. Here is the type you are likely lookin for. https://www.ebay.com/itm/10Pcs-RJ45-Righ…
