Ethernet port no longer works

Hello

I have an iMac (21.5 inch, mid 2011) running OSX 10.11.3 and today my ethernet port no longer works.

Things I've tried:

  • Put the cable on another computer. The cable works fine.
  • Several reboots of the imac.
  • Go to safemode (SHIFT key at startup), still does not see the ethernet port.
  • Past to recovery (command + R to start) mode, the ethernet port is functioning normally. (Now I'm confused)

Thus, it works in recovery, but not in normal mode or safe mode.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Hello

    If possible, try to install the operating system with recovery media. On this way, you will have to factory settings. It's the best test you can do. If the problem persists, it may be a malfunction of the equipment. Sorry but on this path is not easy to tell what the problem may be.

  • USB ports no longer works after L7680 OfficeJet Pro printer installed...

    I am running Windows XP Pro SP3.  Before you load the printer all my ports worked (4 on the monitor, 2 on the front of the PC).  Once I'm installing all of them stop working.  The only option is to work with one on the front of the printer.   I am able to get my Western Digital HD to work on the USB port printer, but this one is fickle and only works sometimes (I have to restart to operate when it gives out).  I'm not able to use on the printer port USB flash drives. I f the usb port on the printer does not work, so I have no options.  I tried with a powered hub and it works at all.

    I was chatting with representatives of HP without result. If a HUB on the printer does not work it is a useless tool for me.  I need one that has no readers, etc.  Is this a reason to return to the item under warranty?  Or y at - it a way to get this thing to work.

    HP wants to tell me it's Dell.  Dell says it's HP.  I'm so confused and frustrated.

    What I discovered, after about 3 years, the computers are generally obsolete.  My computer was 1.1 ports and the printer connection 2.0.  As see you all new USB components say they are 2.0, but can work with 1.1.  Long story short, after reading this somewhere, I decided that I had to upgrade my ports.  I went to Microcenter (they have an online store as well) and bought a USB 2.0 PCI Card for $11.00.  At opened her top and broke in the new port and everything works well again.  It may not be what you want to hear, but it was all I could do.  I was told all empty printer resources USB and this is why the upgrade was necessary.  Hope this makes some sense to you.

  • HDMI port no longer works on Mac Mini

    Hello

    I have a Mac Mini and I use usually 2 screens Dell. Everything worked fine until a couple of days, now the screen plugged into the HDMI port is no longer recognized. I changed monitors around and that did not help. Only the screen plugged on the stroke of lightning to the HDMI adapter works. I tried to use views to detect, but it still does not detect it. I unplugged and re plugged both monitors and restarted my computer. I don't know what else to do or if my Mac Mini is now a lost cause!

    Help, please!

    -Try resetting the SMC

    Then, connect a monitor to the HDMI port and see if the screen works when booting with the down Option. You should see drives bootable on the screen. This does not imply the OSX so if it works not that indicates a hardware problem

    If it works try to start normally with only this screen connected to HDMI. If this does not work then:

  • HP PAvillion M7U61EA #ABH: HDMI port no longer works

    For the last few days I used the HDMI port to stream video and audio to two different TVs LG and Samsung monitor without problems. Directly into TVs or with an AV processor and even if sound was not always easy, I could run BB iPlayer and Netflixs without any problem.

    Then, from today I don't get the laptop to 'see' the fact that I inserted the HDMI in the laptop. Tried several cables and confirmed that the HDMI inputs on all these devices was still working.

    This did some research on the site of HP, Windows site, but couldn't find a solution. What to do next?

    revised and updated

    Given that you upgraded to Windows 10

    You may have accepted a Windows 10 update the graphics driver, who stopped the discreet graphics card to function properly. Never install the Intel graphics driver separately on a switchable graphics capable laptop computer. Only the NVIDIA graphics driver HP sofpaq will allow him to work as expected. It's a proprietary driver that is not included in the driver store of the operating system and is not on Microsoft's servers.

    The best solution to solve this problem would be to use the system restore window to restore the operating system to the State prior to the change was made. You lose no and restore photos, or other personal data using the system. It is completely reversible.

  • Flex 3-1580, a USB 3.0 port no longer works

    My laptop has been performing fabulously since I bought it a little less than a month ago. Two weeks ago one of the ports usb 3.0 on the right side (not the "always you") has stopped working. If I plug my phone in, it starts to load, but does not appear in windows. If I plug in my external hard drive, it lights up, but also is not recognized. If I plug in a flash drive with a light, it does not and is not recognized. I've updated the BIOS (failed), attempted to update usb drivers that were installed (did not work) and then I tried to uninstall the drivers in Device Manager, restarting and allowing windows to reinstall them automatically (failed). The other 2 usb ports work fine, a 2.0 and the other is 3.0. Any thoughts on what to try next? I then only it back because the place I bought it always bring it.

    I just returned it for a new new works very well.
