Is the LAN / Ethernet port changeable on predator G3-572?

I don't how but a pin/connector in the LAN port got broken. I was experiencing connection drops, like network was changing between Wifi to LAN leading to multiple disconnects. I thought my LAN cable was broken somewhere. I bought a new cable and still the issue persisted. Today, i checked the physical port to see if something was wrong and found a gold pin smashed inside.
So, I wanted to know is it changebale with other generic Ethernet/LAN port. I really wanna know, so I can get it repiared. I need that LAN port.

It is soldered on the MB directly, so you have to find a repair shop who will agree to replace it. Acer Service would replace the entire MB.

okay...Well its not in warranty or anything, nor are the service centers trustworthy. I'll see if a trusted repiarer agrees to solder it on. 
Oh btw, what I did was i slightly pulled that single broken pin upwards and pushed slightly inside such that it stays contact and the connection seems to work with no ethernet connectivity drops. I will try to get it repaired though.
Thank you.
