community: to no avail...i took the entire laptop apart again...went thru everything to make sure every last little chord wire - band was connected properly. I also even went the extra length of disconnecting the wlan card from its port and unscrewing it( blk/whte wires too) left it out for a while/
then step by step carefully putting it back together///Ram and all...i power it on .....NO "PCI controllers detected" & "SM bus controllers" detected"
great. psshhhh...dont ya love when this happens DAYS after the warranty expires? hehe
still waiting on input from any one that can insist on something i may have missed.
When you reinstalled the operating system, did you install the Desktop/Notebook system software(if applicable) and the chipset drivers first? If not, the rest of the drivers will fail to install. How to Download and Install Drivers in the Correct Order
Start with the Desktop/Notebook system software and the chipset drivers and follow the list.
I found out why i had that issue and rick thanks for your input but it was incorrect" drivers had nothing to do with it
I was taking out a BIOS password my nephew installed.. when i exited BIOS i must've exited resetting defaults
And that is when my problem started.. You can call me an idiot but did not realize i made the mistake.
I figured it out when i got someone from "phoenix technologies " on the phone which is legendary to have... He knew right away it was a BIOS related issue.
Kakaroto... Please email me @
And i will personally spend every second helping you if what i last said does not work. I must learn any
Go into your BIOS and reset everything to default. Then upon exit, "save changes and load defaults" (each BIOS build is different so try To make sure it states similar) Restart your pc I am willing to work with you on this issue as much as possible. It wasn't taking out RAM that work, it was not flashing the BIOS ...Fresh installs of your OS will set you back farther.. Trust me Its in your BIOS. Its NOT uninstalling and reinstalling your network adapter drivers I will be checking up on this post and effectively would like to see if you got it Jonathan
hey thank i have reset the bios several times and update it to to A12 version i remove the bios battery all and left for like 4 hour nothing happend i did a fresh install of windows 7 and windows 8 and nothing i did change the wireless card and nothing i just thinking to buy the DC board cause it have the nic chip there

I have the same problem; I just had to install a new hard drive and after doing this, I don't have anything under the "other" or Network Adapters.
