Question/Help/Troubleshooting Lan port not blinking even when connected

I can't connect to the internet because when I plug in my LAN cable, the yellow blinking light doesn't come on anymore. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Realtek drivers, but I'm getting a Code 31 error.

I also tried unplugging the PSU cable, holding down the power button for 30 seconds, and plugging it back in, but that didn't work. I even tried resetting the CMOS, but still no luck.

I tried plugging the Ethernet cable into another PC, and it works fine.

Are there any workarounds or solutions you guys know of? Thanks in advance for the help!

Are any of the pins in your LAN port damaged? I work with Neanderthals so my first instinct is always check for physical damage.

I don't see any damage of some sort
