Issue with network connection Port functionality not operating as expected
The network port on my Asus PK5 appears to be malfunctioning. After running a passmark test, I connected an Ethernet cable but received no response from Windows—cable is unplugged and the port lights stay off. The main PC works fine, and it did report a successful upload last year, indicating the port was functional then. Additionally, the computer fails to recognize an Xbox 360 controller, showing no plug-and-play option or listed drivers. Windows 7 includes the 360 controller driver by default, which seems unusual.
Use your phone to connect via tethering and refresh certain drivers
I can simply connect the drivers via USB, but it seems the issue isn’t with the drivers—it looks more like a hardware problem. I haven’t plugged an Ethernet into a port and haven’t seen any lights activate. Usually, a port lights up when a connection is detected, even without drivers installed. Maybe I need to install a PCI Ethernet card.
You can inspect the mobile for any signs of damage, though that’s roughly all there is to it. The PCI card seems like a strong option in this case.
It might not be recognized, which could explain why it isn't turning on—review the Device Manager first before using the card.
