e6500 / PCI Simple Communications Controller and PCI Serial Port drivers missing
System board got replaced on my e6500. Now it can't find the PCI Simple Communications Controller and PCI Serial Port drivers for 64-bit vista.
I've upgraded the BIOS to A12, and pulled the latest Intel Chipset drivers down off the website. No go.
Got an updated driver set somewhere for Intel chipset? Diags say I'm on Ricoh, I've updated that chipset also.
No Events found!

Did you manage to solve your issue? I have the same problem.

Never got a response. My resolution was to ignore it. Haven't needed the serial port lately, but will for a project I'm slated to work on a little down the road. Hopefully I'll be on win7 by then.

I have heard that this problem can be resolved by installing the drivers for the AMT HECI and AMT SOL/LMS found in the Chipset category at this page: E6500 Drivers.

JackShack,
Thank you for this post. You are spot on! I had the systemboard replaced due to my laptop not powering on off of a fully charged battery. After the board was replace, the power on worked fine; however, I was prompted everytime for the PCI Serial port and PCI Simple Communications Controller drivers and couldnt figure out for the life of me what they were associated with. After downloading and installing your suggestions, those now work and no more prompting.
Thanks again,
jehays
