POS Aloha P1230 Ethernet Port Bad

[KaiWalston]

Hi guys,
1st time posting here and thanks in advance for helpful replies.

I just took over a bar and My 2 year old Aloha P1230 POS system went down 2 weeks ago. I had a service contract for $1500 dollars from previous owners but warranty contract expired ($560 a year) on my hardware unit.

The service company just told me that I had A BAD ETHERNET PORT on unit. They say they cant repair it (BS) and want to charge me the full $560 to renew warranty contract for a crappy Ethernet port which probably cost $15 from china - More than this they want me to renew warranty contracts on all my machines (6) for $3360 - I think they're crazy.

Can anyone tell me where i can buy an Ethernet Port for a P1230? Also is the Ethernet port integrated into motherboard or is this a part easily replaced. I have built a few desktops when i was younger but I can't sodder if integrated

Also would like to find a P1230 working or not to see if possible to scavenge parts from: Cheaper than $1500 for service and $3360 for warranties on 6 machines per year. Cheaper replacing with brand new unit each year WTF

If any one has an Aloha P1230 or knows of a hardware repair place or someone who sells parts let me know

Thanks everyone

least expensive option
buy usb to nic
install and set ip
run lanacfg change lananumber so new nic is lana0
reboot computer and you are back to work. Make sure staff dont remove usb nic by accident. Lastly if it is term1 or 2 I would also remove the ability to be both master and server just incase usb becomes loose
