    ethernet port problems

    So I got a Dell 14z very impressed just if you were wondering.  Recently Though I noticed how the ethernet port does not hold the ethernet chord. Now it doesn't click into place like it used to. While the connection still works well, the chord will sometimes just fall out or the port. Has anyone else had this problem, and is there anyone that can help

    its not too bad the connection still works well, just place a big enough peice of paper to hold it in by inserting it on the top of the cord. But the best solution is to replace it. its cheap.
