Hi everyone.
My Ethernet port stopped working all of a sudden yesterday after around 5-6 months of using my new build. Tried re-installing the drivers, checking the cabling and router etc. Everything seemed fine so I assumed the onboard adapter got fried.
Since I opened it up and everything (I haven't done it in a month or two) I went ahead and cleaned the PC while I was at it. After getting everything done and plugging it back, voila! It worked. Why and how?
Now I'm not sure if I should test this further or RMA my mobo since it's still under warranty.
What do you guys think?
