Could a failing Ethernet Controller cause the PS5 CFI 1100 HDMI PORT BROKEN to have symptom: Repair?

The PS5's integrated Ethernet controller is experiencing a firmware-level negotiation fault, preventing it from consistently establishing a gigabit (1000 Mbps) link and often defaulting to 100 Mbps speeds. This is not a hard hardware failure but rather an issue with the controller's initialization or auto-negotiation logic.

// ENGINEER'S LOG

The console's wired LAN connection is failing to correctly auto-negotiate gigabit speeds, resulting in significantly lower performance compared to Wi-Fi. While the root cause is a firmware bug within the Ethernet controller's negotiation process, this issue can often be resolved by forcing the console to re-evaluate its wired connection. To do this, navigate to Settings > Network > Settings > Set up Internet Connection, and then select 'Set up wired LAN'. This action typically prompts the PS5 to correctly recognize and establish the higher gigabit link speeds available from the network. // SAFETY NOTE: Ensure unit is disconnected from all power sources before inspection. Forensic analysis is for component identification only.
