Axe-FX Name Timeout!

[Rexgtr]

So I just spent an hour+ researching this Axe Fx Name Timeout!
Switched Ethernet cables (My MFC 101 is mk I)
Nothings working so I shined a flashlight inside the Ethernet socket where I had recently accidentally tried plugging my 1/4 cable in there. This caused two of the pins to bend upward.
No doubt this is what is causing my issue.

Now my problem is bent pins (screwed) No 7 pin MIDI cable.

Gonna try the 9vAC power supply and 5 pin MIDI out to MIDI of Axe Fx II

I also have a Mk I MFC and did a FASLINK mod in order to use XLR cables, way more sturdy and durable than the rather fragile ethernet jack in the Mk I

The Ethernet socket on my rack is toast, tried futile attempt at pulling the bent pins into place..
This mod would require modding both my Axe Fx II rack and MFC-101.
Seeing as I'm doing a complete reorganization/rewire of my entire home studio, for now
The 9vac power supply + MIDI Out (MFC) --> MIDI In (Axe) will do.
