| 1390779 | 2014-12-23 04:35:00 | I've never bothered to figure this out until now, as I have the laptop off the power more since i have a working battery that lasts. But ever since I've got this thing, when I plug in or plug out the power cable, the computer thinks it's a Broadcom Netlink Ethernet Adapter and says it can be saftly removed. Yet the power cable still works and does everything it should. I'm using Genuine Windows 7 Pro 64-bit which I installed when I got it (It had XP when I bought it) Just curious if this is a weird issue, as I'm worried it might play havoc with the battery. |
