Product: Elitebook 800 series
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)
So how do you actually physically remove the RJ45 connector from the ethernet port?
With the notebook on a flat surface, your finger can barely press the RJ45 locking tab (since it is upside down) and the 'jaw' just clamp on the RJ45 connector as you try to remove it.
Even with the notebook power down and lift up from the table, you will still struggle with the 'jaw' clamping on the RJ45 locking tab.
Any official HP document on the official 'correct' way to use one of these? Since HP invented and patent it.
