Hi everybody, I have a laptop (HP 6735s). I used to browse the Internet with it but now the LAN adapter just doesn't work. My OSs (both Windows and Linux) tell me that the adapter works fine but the cable is unplugged (although the cable is Plugged and no LEDs light or blink in both laptop and router). I had experienced a similar behavior with the laptop in the past, but the problem vanished by itself within an hour. Now the adapter doesn't work since 29th September! Is the adapter burnt out and/or should I give it to technical service? P.S. Sorry for my bad English!
Welcome to HWF The best thing to do first is to check the cable itself. Do you have a spare network cable to test if that does work?
I don't have spare network cable. I tried with 2 "regular" cables - don't work on the laptop but they do work on my old PC. Probably the problem is not in cable.
I've been using this cable for more than 3 years and suddenly the connection died. The cable is for router->computer usage (I think) because that's how I used it with no problems. As RHochstenbach said probably the LAN adapter is broken. I consider going to technical service...
