I had the same problem on a SB5100. I replaced the Ethernet port but that didn't help. I finally gave up and got a SB5101. Later, I found a website that described how to fix the problem. I think it was a capacitor. I didn't bother at that point. If I find the site I'll post it.

Just grab another 5101. They're almost free on Ebay. Nowhere near worth the hassle to attempt to repair the port.

infinity08,

This is what I was looking at back then.

They don't confirm which component and whether it will work but just to give you a better idea. I might try this myself. Since my good Ethernet SB5100 crapped out.
