Description

The listing, Ethernet Connection Bad? Simple Fix - PCI Ethernet Card has ended.

This is a brand new, still wrapped in the box, PCI ethernet card, capable of 10/100/1000Mbps.

Old computers sometimes came without ethernet ports. That has not been the case for probably 15 years, but many times ethernet ports get damaged due to electrical surges through the cord, someone tripping on the cord and damaging the port, or something going wrong internally.

Getting the problem diagnosed can cost $80-100, and fixing it can add to that. Some techs will even encourage you to replace the motherboard or buy a new machine.

It is much cheaper and very simple to install a new card like this one. Often, it involves removing a few screws, pushing the card in, putting the screws back in, and turning the computer on. Sometimes, you have to put the CD in for it to find the drivers.

This card can save you big bucks if you are trying to save a desktop computer, maybe just something for the kids to do homework on, or even your main computer. It will work with all cable and DSL modems - anything other than dial-up or wireless, in which case you don't need an ethernet port.

High bidder pays $3.00 shipping anywhere in the U.S. I will gladly ship overseas for the actual cost of shipping, which shouldn't be much as the card is light and small.

I'll be glad to answer any questions!

Almost any desk top - if you have any of the removable silver strips in the back, that's a pretty good indication it will fit. Alost every desktop computer has PCI ports, used for things like sound cards, modems, etc. That is where this will go. One of those strips will come out, the end will show there, the inside part will plug into a PCI port inside the computer. You can look up "installing a PCI ethernet card" on google and get instructions for it!
