Acpi Smo8800 1 Driver Download High Quality

I am adding another thanks to you for the solution provided. After reading your message, before downloading and installing the driver, I went to the Dell page and look at all the drivers for my laptop (I also have a Dell XPS 15 L502X) and no matter how I looked for it, I could not find it. It is a shame that Dell does not provide a driver for a component they know they placed on the laptop as part of its configuration.
After you read the technical documentation of your motherboard, next step should be downloading and installing drivers. Microsoft provides driver repository which provides a lot of drivers for your device. Also, your drivers can be installed through Windows Update.
Some drivers can not be installed and they are identified as Unknown device. Based on this name, we can not do research and find proper driver. Do not worry, there is a trick which will help you to identify hardware component and find proper driver.
Few users encouraged problem with Dell computer and notebook because then did not find the proper driver for hardware component identified as an Unknown device with Hardware IDS ACPI\VEN_SMO&DEV_8800 or ACPI\SMO8800. So, what is ACPI\VEN_SMO&DEV_8800 or ACPI\SMO8800? It is ST Microelectronics DE351DL Motion Sensor, the data-protection system included on select Dell products. This system detects sudden acceleration of a laptop and prepares the hard drive mechanism for impact by disengaging the disk drive heads from the hard disk platters. We will show you how to download the driver for ACPI\VEN_SMO&DEV_8800 or ACPI\SMO8800.
After re-installing Windows you may see a devices that haven't installed correctly and in this case it is the STMicro movement sensor. This is very common with Dell Laptops. Sometimes simply listed as unknown device - on pci bus - acpismo8800

I've tried to Install an Intel network driver for my laptop. It's Intel 825xx 10/100/1000 Ethernet Controller Driver Version: 18.1.0.0 ,A08 (I got it from the Dell Support Website which told me this was one of the drivers fitting my device).
What's that supposed to mean? Do I need to plug a LAN cable into the LAN adapter, so that a network connection can be established before the driver will install properly? Or is the LAN network device out of order? Or something else?
After formating my hp laptop with windows8 64bit , I installed all drivers present in the website for g6-1305et . However, in device manager, I got an error below Other Devices-Unknown Device as 'Location: on PCI Express Root Complex, "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)" . How can I obtain this driver ?
Have a Dell XPS 17 laptop - just been rebuilt with a new install of windows 7 x64 and it tells me there is an unknown device. The description of which is so vague as to be almost meaningless. I tried searching the one thing that might narrow it down "microsoft acpi-compliant system" but that leads me to websites I don't really know well enought to trust downloads from.
Edit: Info I should have included... Have been to Dell's site with the service tag - none of the "filtered" drivers helped, and several from the "all" have been tried also with no success. Removing it from Device manager it reappears as unknown and provides no extra details.
Search for the laptop by model designation. It will give you more options and you'll probably find the acpi item listed as its own driver. Otherwise, just pick random ones that sound similar until you find the right one.
Google the make driver wiki - for example "Latitude D630 Driver Wiki" That will lead you to a Dell site with ALL of the drivers for ANY hardware in that model, no matter what it is, or what OS. Download that Wiki and extract it to a folder. Then, go to Device Manager, right click on the unknown device, click Update Driver, and point to that folder - it will find the driver.
Just about every single time we've seen an unknown device, it's been the Accelerometer for the free-fall sensor. Try that, first. If not, it could also be a fingerprint scanner (look for something to do with biometrics for those drivers)
I don't see the XPS 17 listed there, but if you use XPS, Latitude, or Precision lines, just download and extract the relevant driver cab from the Dell Tech Center and point the Windows 7+ driver update wizard to it. Definitely beats wasting time downloading and trying all of the drivers from the driver support page.
