@Kathryn37 Is this broken master socket causing your internet to disconnect or is it completly broken and you have no dial tone on the line?

If someone has helped give them Like.

Everything is still working but dust will get into the box if I don't replace it.

@Kathryn37 As long as it is the front plate assembly they are just very easy to replace you will see from the pictures, removing is just below the centre  about 1" from the bottom squeeze both sides and pull off, replace by just pushing back into place with the new one!

It's the back plate that's broken with all the wires showing.
