help: R51 freezes when inserting or removing power supply
Posted: Fri Feb 23, 2007 4:00 am
Hi there,
I hope you can give some ideas on what to try...
Someday (a couple of months back) each time I inserted or removed my power supply the laptop froze. I never could make out what the problem was. (R51 2888-Y25, upgraded with 2200bg, 60gig 7200rpm, 1gig RAM)
The last 2 months I have installed a different mini-pci card (Broadcom) for testing. While the Broadcom WLAN card was installed, I never experienced the freezing problem.
Now I have reverted to my 2200bg again, and the problem started popping back up.
I somehow think it has something to do with the drivers. Is there somewhy to "completly" remove the driver and make a clean install without reinstalling the OS?
Any other thoughts on what this could be?
Thanks,
Marc
