Hi, i woke up, played 30 minutes, and i start having problems with ethernet cable
so i updated ethernet adapter, nothing changed
then i uninstalled it and now i cant find it, i cant find ethernet adapter, not in device manager with view hidden either in internet connections
i have only Wifi and Bluetooth Internet
when i try to instal Realtek ethernet i get the "deep sleep" error, which i dont have, my laptop Asus FX 503 seems to think that i dont have ethernet adapter, cant detect it anymore.
i reinstalled windows, and all drivers with driver booster pro, still i cant get Ethernet Cable :( help

Download an ISO here and write it to a CD and then boot with it:

If your network card works when booting on this CD, it's not a hardware problem, but a software issue in windows. If no network card shows on the live cd, there's a pretty good chance it's gone, although there is also a chance that the CD didn't have drivers for it.

Go into Device Manager. Right click on any one of the devices listed there, then select "Scan for Hardware Changes". After doing that, your ethernet adapter should show up. Then click on install.
did that before, the laptop cannot detect it in any way, whatever i try, thanks for answering.

Boot up a linux live cd and let's see if that finds it. If not, I guess it just failed. :(

Have you checked in the Bios?
i put bios on default settings just in case, i cant take of the bios batery i wont open my laptop, not this one, last one is dead now.
bios has no "deep sleep" option or other things, i could say that its a pretty basic useless bios with no real setting yes i used advanced view
thanks for reply

Stupid Question: CD, like a round cd, dvd-rw like?
well, funny thing, i once bought a dvd and wasted 2 hours to put windows 10 iso on cd and after this i found out that, apparently, MY LAPTOP HAS NO DVD-RW, i cant use any CD in this laptop, not even the other laptop has, i dont know why.
i guess i could use a usb stick?

Yes, you can use a usb stick, but you need to use something to write the iso to the usb drive in a way that it will boot. I've heard a program call 'rufus' can do it, but have never tried it.

The other thing you can do is check somewhere locally for an external cd/dvd drive as they're like $10 now.
