Classmate ethernet port broken - fix?

Not sure how this happened, but the ethernet port on our Classmate is broken. The connection works if you hold the cable in, but the opposite of what typically happens seems to have happened - the tabs on the ethernet cable have nothing to grab onto in the Classmate, implying that somehow some kind of latch got busted.

Anyone have any experience with this, and know a good fix? Is this the kind of thing that would require us to replace the Classmate? I'm worried that programming will routinely lead to corrupt downloads to the cRIO, which is probably part of the reason we haven't been able to show that code is on the robot, despite what seems to be a successful deployment via Labview.

Thanks,

-Justin
