Is this an ethernet port? If so, is there a specific type of ethernet cable I need to get for it?

        I need closure on this. Is your port working or not?

    Do you mean “because my port is damaged”, or do you already see that it is damaged? This answer is important.

    It’s a standard Ethernet port. The bottom part of the port folds down to allow the Ethernet plug to fit.

    Oh, don’t worry. It will fit a normal sized one. You just gotta open it up a little more. But be gentle so you don’t hurt anything. It’ll shrink back down to it’s normal size after you’re done and pull it out.

    Normal Ethernet, but the port opens up to fit the cord.
