even if i boot from external hdd, same issue, everything is working fine, even wifi, LAN port is not physically broken (what i can see from outside), in network setting it says cable is not plugged in (cable and connection is tested in a another laptop)

in system report it actually shows some values, so its like the ethernet card/chip is recognised.

also there is a rather large damage on left top corner, it was dropped, so maybe just the connector soldering is broken on the board? (not opened yet, until the price is accepted by customer)

Just take the easy route and give them an USB to LAN adapter. Probably lightning damage and you really don't want to mess with that.
