Pressing down on the clip of the RJ45 connector results in a very
quiet snapping sound (as usual), but the cable is still stuck hard in
place.

Something make me think that the clip is just broken. Use a very small
screwdriver to press the little hook inside the port, or bring the
laptop and the cable to a shop and have them do it (if they break it,
they'll have to pay it).

At least we offer similar suggestions, your shop idea is good idea :)

BTW, where is the 'linux' angle in all this?

'cos linux users can do silly things just as well as windoze users?
and can't figure out how to post to an appropriate newsgroup?




Networking?
