Looking for Dell Latitude 5520 / 5530 / 5540 RJ45 network connector replacement

[diamon]

I have a Dell Latitude 5530 with a damaged RJ45 network connector. See the attached pictures.

Have already searched on Farnell / Aliexpress / Ebay and had contact with several suppliers on Aliexpress and Ebay, but they cannot deliver this connector.
Is there someone inside the EU, who has these connector(s) or perhaps defective motherboard(s) for these laptop models I have mentioned in the topic title.

Pictures of these boards:

Dell Latitude 5530 https://www.ebay.com/itm/125844181534
Dell Latitude 5540: https://www.ebay.com/itm/335128727896

Already know that the connector for a DELL Latitude 5510 / DELL Latitude 5500 / DELL Latitude 5501 / DELL Precision 3551 are not suitable (to big).

I'm not sure if I have created this topic in the correct spot.

Post a clear direct on angle pic of the 3rd view. There appears to be a stamped logo in the metal. It may be Singatron = seahorse?

the rj45 connectors appear to be mid mount style.

Very good eyes, I have attached a clear picture of the logo.

Have found the manufacture, but unfortunately did not find this connector there https://www.singatron.com.tw/en/prod...Connectors.htm

Cool. Met them once in Hong Kong and never forgot their logo. Recently contacted them to service a Getac motherboard for usb connectors.

try to source from their USA office or at least a valid part number from this contact:

Jennifer Kan <jennifer2[at]singatron.com>

note that they do have moqs for parts so you need to review if it is worthwhile or not to service the unit. Once you have that correct part number, you may be able to substitute it with another.

Thanks for the information. I have send an email to there regular email address (marketing(AT)singatron.com.tw) and not to Jennifer Kan directly.

If there not someone who has a defective motherboard (or these connectors) available, I will order a board from outside the EU.

Did some more research and took the gamble when I found a very similar motherboard.
The dell precision 3561 motherboard has the correct RJ45 network connector, removed the "new" connector and placed it on the 5530 board.

Board is fixed

Well done! Appreciate the cross referenced motherboard details.
