digip Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Remove it from the hardware list and then scan for new hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothCriminal Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Return it to the manufacturer, if problems are arising with it in a few weeks, there are probably more just waiting to be surfaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeoneE1se Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Thy this, in the BIOS turn WakeOnLan on and turn the computer off if the the light is still off. RMA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMZ Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I had a cheap Asus board where the onboard Realtek NIC disappear from the PC and nothing would bring it back. (Windows wouldn't detect it, all the lights on the socket / the network port were always black.) I finally broke down and installed a PCI card. (Wasn't even able to disable the old card in the BIOS.) After installing the PCI card the onboard card suddenly decided to reappear / start working again. I was then able to remove the PCI card and the onboard NIC hasn't vanished again... Was really odd.
