    Hi All -

    Looks like I fried my LAN port/cables/something or other yesterday. There was a pretty major storm that went through (I was not home) and after it passed, my LAN is dead : ( I have a CF-29HTM50BM which I love. I am really, really new to this, but last night after half a bottle of wine, I was looking at the Service Manual and the schematics and was pretty sure I could pull off replacing mine. This morning, I reviewed it again while sober and think I could still do it if I follow the alcohol intake recommendations, for courage, mostly.

    So am thinking I need -

    LAN port - ref #CN51
    LAN Cable - ref#E49
    LAN Cable clampers

    Does that make sense? Thank you!
