9608 Phone - "No Ethernet" / Bad Data Port

[Bondojordo]

Howdy,
Running CM 5.2

I've always come across our 9608 phones dying after a couple years.
The main cause was the phone not booting all the way and stating "NO ETHERNET" along with the data cable on the back of the phone being loose. You can touch the cable and the phone would lose power.

Has anyone ever tried fixing the issue, and if so, how?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

unfortunately its shoddy build quality , we have found that patch cords without a boot on the plug tend to be more flexible and thus dont damage the port.

Not that they mean a thing anymore , get a brain dump pass the test crash the system.
