SM Bus Controller driver unknown. Under "Other devices"

Hi,

I installed Windows 7 64-bit on my Dell Latitude E6420 and have so far successfully installed all but one of the needed drivers. The biggest problem I have is my SM Bus Controller is recognized as "Other Devices" with the yellow question mark. I thought that was included in the chipset driver that I got from the Dell website but apparently not.

Please help. in the meantim looking over DELL, Intel Website for a solution.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi There

The issue could be that the drivers really have to be installed in a specific order.  The exclamation mark next to the SM Bus Controller really is a common issue if this has not been done.  The best advice I can give, is make sure after a clean install of windows 7, all drivers are installed in the exact order as follows:

System Utilities   -    Dell System Software

Chipset Drivers   -    Intel® Chipset Software Installation Utility

Dell Data Protection Applications   -    Dell Data Protection Midware Package

Dell Data Protection Applications   -    Dell Data Protection Driver Package

Video Drivers   -    Nvidia NVS 4200M

Audio Drivers   -    IDT 92HDxxx HD Audio

Serial ATA Drivers   -    Intel Rapid Storage Technology

Chipset Drivers   -    O2Micro OZ600xxx Memory Card

Chipset Drivers   -    Intel Unified AMT 7 Management Interface Driver

Chipset Drivers   -    ST Microelectronics Free Fall Sensor

Network Drivers   -    Intel 825xx Gigabit Platform LAN Network Device

Network Drivers   -    Intel WiFi Link 6xxx Series WLAN Half-Mini Card

Network Drivers   -    Intel WiMAX Link 6250

Communication Drivers   -    Conexant D330,HDA,MDC,v.92 Modem

Communication Drivers   -    Dell Wireless 5550 HSPA Mini Card

Network Applications   -    Dell Wireless 375 Bluetooth Module

Input Drivers   -    Dell Multi-Touch Touchpad

Input Applications   -    eGalax EMPIA EETI Multi-Touchscreen

Chipset Drivers   -    NEC USB3.0

Hi,

I had the same problem a few minutes ago, and resolved it by re-installing 'DRVR_Chipset_Intel_A00-CPNKY_setup_ZPE'

http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/555/GetDriver/OtherFileFormats/Product/latitude-e5530?driverId=CPNKY&FileId=3292011211&osCode=W764

Above URL is the driver for your Windows 7 64-bit system.

 

I hope I helped you, or other people with this.

 

Kind regards,

General Lee
