A broken network port in a laptop is not uncommon. If the network connection does not work, then the network card may be out of order. There may be several reasons for this: starting from a spark of static electricity and ending with mechanical damage to the connector contact itself.

Step 1
Check your network settings. Each network has its own rules for setting up a network connection. Usually they relate to parameters such as range, IP address, default gateway, and others. Make sure you are in the correct IP address range and there are no address conflicts on your network. If you can't set it up yourself, check the internet for specific instructions. They similarly describe what and how to do, there are also special screenshots made by users during this procedure.
Step 2
Restart your computer and enter the laptop BIOS. To do this, immediately after starting the laptop, press Del on the keyboard (it can also be F2, Esc or other buttons). Check that the network card has the Enable parameter - that is, it is enabled. Install the drivers for the network adapter by downloading them from the official website of your laptop manufacturer. When choosing drivers, pay attention to the laptop model and the version of the operating system. If you have an installation disc, then download all the software from it to your personal computer and restart it so that all changes are saved.
Step 3
Delete the network connection and recreate it. In this way, you will get rid of incorrect settings that may be assigned to the old network connection. As a last resort, you can try reinstalling the system. If all these actions did not help you start the network card, then, alas, it is out of order. There are external USB network adapters on the market especially for laptops and netbooks. If it is not possible to use wireless technologies, use a similar device. However, it is worth noting that such technologies have some speed limitations, and tariffs are much more expensive.
