The Solution Rating System
|
|
| With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating. - The Grade of the Solution
- The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
- The Number of Author and Expert Comments
- The Number of Experts Contributing
- The Feedback of the Community
Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site. If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support. Thank you! |

Asked by bobPUNKbob in Network Cards & Adapters, Networking Cables
A few months ago, I was using my Sony laptop with a cat5 network cable plugged into the network socket in the back of the unit. I got up and tripped over the cable and it ripped the network cable out of the socket. When I pushed it back in, it worked just fine. However if I move the laptop (which is a nice feature to have since it is a laptop), the cable just falls out.
On closer inspection, I found the problem to be that the tiny catch in the socket that is suppose to prevent the little plastic prong on the plastic connector (you know, the little plastic appendage that snags on things) that is attached to the ends of a network cable, from sliding back out of the socket. So as I plug in the network cable, it no longer makes the snapping/clicking sound that you typically hear once the cable is securely attached. I can slide it in and it works, but any movement at all and the cable is laying out of the socket again.
Is this fixable, other than by the duct taped jury-rigging that I am temporarily using? How?
-Thanks!
