Sorry I thought you said the plug but you meant the receptacle/socket
Umph -- can you break off the broken plastic bits and get a soldering irion 
onto the connectors? If so you could solder some wires in place and make 
connections. that way - it should not be too difficult to do -- better than 
throwing the mobo away!!

I have even wired directly to the mobo before now (broken network 
connector!!!) That machine is now 4 years old and still working with a utp 
cable directly wired to the mobo!!!
