6360 issues - no post with comm II slot populated

my 6360 lost its ethernet card, one day it just would not connect. it was not listed in apple system profiler and no tcpip settings available. a day prior it had worked. i reset PR and it would no longer post. it chimed but no green light or happy mac or question mark or anything. if i put a modem or a nic in the comm slot it does this.

do we think this could be a cap issue on board or PSU? failing this, is there a way to get tcpip through printer/serial/parallel or internal scsi ports? dont even care if its 512kg, i just need access to LAN gaming

system has TV tuner, 128mb ram, G3 280Mhz upgrade, rage 128, dvd scsi drive, 128gb ssd
 
Check the Commslot for any pin damage/debris/clean it

You can put a Mac compatible PCI network card in the 6360 is only single slot but some have added two cards with the right PCI riser.
