    Default driver issues

    hi all, a friend has asked me to wipe his lappy ,noticing its an ei system model 1511(pc world crap) i looked on there site to find only sound and grafix , the other drivers i need are the wireless, smbus and the usb's any help appreciated as usual.
    whats unusual in this laptop is when i search the net for this laptop the laptop isnt the exact one ive got here , as this laptop has the hdmi feature , but pics on the net and the shitty support site dont show this feature but do have a standard tv output . any help appreciated ... BIG3

    Have u tried to install an OS to see if it finds the drivers, I'm 99% sure usb drivers will be installed automatically when the os is installed (think xp sp2 and above). Windows 7 does a good job of finding drivers.

    If you have no luck you can buy a recovery disc from them, the one for you model is...

    Although they're not that cheap (£35) but as a worse case scenario its an option to you.

    Hope that helps a bit.

    Get Driver Genius / Driver Magician or similar, that will scan your system, list all missing drivers and driver updates.

    the smbus if not installed when os is installed should go on once u update it, if u install windows 7 should find the drivers also , ive installed it on 5 pc`s and 4 laptops and ive not had to find any drivers , failing that if u install everest [hardware] bench marking proggy it will list the driver u need , then driverguide should sort u out
