Network cable problem with Toshiba laptopI
I am borrowing my brother's Toshiba laptop. I can get network
cables to plug in but they do not lock into place. I push on them
as hard as I can but they do not lock into place. They just pull
right out with very little force. The cables do work until they
come out.
I have tried both ends of five different cables but none of them
work. I have looked at the port with a flashlight and very powerful
reading glasses but I do not see any dirt or foreign objects that
could block the cable.
Do some Toshiba laptops require custom, non-standard network cables?
Is there anything I can do to get standard cables to work?

After I kick it, he will sometimes play with it for a few
seconds to several minutes. His favorite are the ones that
rattle. He'll play with any ball that makes noise.
