    Hi david67,

    Download the drivers in the order given below:

    • System Utilities(Notebook System Software)
    • BIOS (Latest version)
    • Chipset (Ricoh, Intel-Driver)
    • Input (Synaptic Driver)
    • Network card (Broadcom)
    • Wireless
    • Audio (SIGMATEL)
    • Video

    To know the type of wireless card and video card the system has, go to device manager and check under Network Adapters and Display Adapters respectively and install the appropriate driver from the support website.

    Please restart the system after each installation. To flash BIOS, click on BIOS from the list and click on ‘Download File’ and follow onscreen instruction. Follow the same steps to download remaining drivers.
