Satellite C870-11G - "SM BUS controller driver missing" for Win 7 64bit

Good afternoon,
After extensive searching of the forums I have been unable to find a solution so far.
A few of months ago, following the demise of her previous Satellite, my lady friend acquired a Satellite C870-11G running Windows 7 (64 bit).
She acquire the machine online from PC World and after doing the windows updates set it up using the Zonealarm free firewall & AVG 2013 free antivirus. We installed the bundled Microsoft Office 365 and drivers for her HP F4180 Deskjet.
Initially everything ran fine but about a month ago the machine would not recognise the printer.
After doing the troubleshooting thing, the machine reported an "SM BUS Controller Driver" as being missing.
After a lot of net research etc, plus faffing around with the System Restore" function, I still couldn't fix it and so went for the 'nuclear option' i.e. I backed all her data up and did a full Factory Reset from the restore partition.
We've gradually been putting it back together, reloading her data, re-installing ZoneAlarm & AVG, Picassa & Office 365. Yesterday I went to re-install the printer drivers but before doing so checked the Device Manager only to find that the error "SM BUS controller driver is missing" had returned. Grrrrr...
I've been trying to use the system restore to go back restore point by restore point but that too now fails to complete every time with the error (0x80070005).
Before I go Nuclear again, has anyone any ideas please...?
Regards & thanks in advance.
Larry

  • Graphic Driver missing for Win 8.1 (it WAS there)

    Hi, About 1 year ago I upgraded my OS to Win 8.1 and I was be able to find most of driver here: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=5045472&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4158 Obivously including graphics drivers. However, when I check today (I reinstalled my OS), it's GONE. I still keep some of them on my HDD, for example, the AMD Graphic driver for Win 8.1 x64 is sp63715.exe. and someone can find the files from your server if they knew the sp id. But the problem is, what if they don't know? what if I don't keep these dirver files? Why they got removed fromt your support centor's list? Please directly answer this question instead imply I already got solution. It's very important for other users.

    Hi, Windows 10 has been out and around. To support Windows 10 vendors (all of them) need to re-develop many drivers if not all. The most economical way is to develop drivers which can adapt to changes. I think (not sure) HP may temporary remove old drivers and will publish new drivers - not one size fit all but at least simplify the tasks. Hope this makes sense.

  • Need SM Bus Controller Driver for A75-S231

    Unfortunately I am without my system and backup disks and I am in desperate need of a driver for the SM Bus Controller. Problem surfaced after re-install of XP Home.
    I called Toshiba tech support to identify the motherboard chipset shipped with my unit (specs listed at end of post) so as to locate and download the driver. Unbelievably, Tech is not equipped to identify the make or model of my motherboard or identify the chipset. Third Party software tells me I have a Toshiba EDW10 Motherboard and tech searched the internet and told me I have some VIA motherboard and good luck finding your driver.
    Please help, I didnt think that Toshiba of all people would be unable to identify their own systems but here I am 4 hours later bothering you good people and still hunting. Does anyone have the SM Bus controller driver for the A75-S231 or tell me what chipset was shipped with my unknown motherboard?
    My system specs are as follows:
    OS Name Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
    Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600
    System Manufacturer TOSHIBA
    System Model Satellite A75
    System Type X86-based PC

    Motherboard Toshiba EDW10???
    Thanks fo your help.

    Hi
    As far as I know your unit must be an US notebook model and please try to check Toshiba US download page under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp
    Please dont be mad on tech support but I dont see any reason why they should know every technical detail of your notebook. Toshiba has designed drivers for every hardware component that you can have anytime you want and install it 1000 times if you want. Toshiba guarantee that it will work properly and I dont see any problem there.
    Technical details you can get from Authorized service partners in your country.
    Good luck!

    Hello everyone,
    I have recently downgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 7 and I have having trouble in regards to finding the USB controller driver, and SM Bus Controller driver for my HP Pavilion SleekBook 15-119wb. I have tried everything so if anybody could please help me with this issue I would be very grateful.

    Hi:
    Normally, the usb 3.0 drivers do not install on your model after installing the above chipset driver.  Only the smbus controller installs.
    Use these two drivers to install the usb 3.0 controllers, and between all of the above, you should be all set.

    Hi gryloo,
    You can download all drivers for your notebook on this page:

    As far as I know for Mass Storage Controller you have to install the card reader driver.

  • Satellite A210-16G Mass Storage Controller driver for Windows Vista 32-bit

    Hello, I need Toshiba Satellite A210-16G Mass Storage Controller driver for Windows Vista 32-bit. If you have setup file, please redirect me, if you have any other file, please explain me where to install it.

    If I were you I would take look to the Drivers Download site of the Toshiba mainpage, because there you can find everything you need.
    The mass storage controller can either be the HDD controller or the SD-card controller. I would download both of them.
    Heres a direct link to the Drivers page: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  • Music Server Can't See External Drive Formatted for WIN with Disk Utility.

    Is there any reason an external drive formatted for WIN (MS-DOS(FAT)/FAT32 or NTFS w/ NTFS-3G/MacFUSE) with Disk Utility would not work for intended purpose? I have a music server (Bryston BDP-1) that uses an attached USB drive for storage/playback of music and can only read FAT32 or NTFS formatted drives. I've tried both and neither is readable by the BDP-1, yet I have no problem reading/writing to the supplied 2GB Thumb Drive (FAT32), as well as another 2GB Thumb Drive (FAT32). Get Info shows; "FAT32" for all drives formatted as such.
    Note: From what I'm told the BDP-1 uses a scaled down version of Linux for it's OS. Isn't that UNIX? Shouldn't it be compatible (Read/Write) with other platforms (i.e, Mac)? Bryston says the reason they use it because it's Open-Source. Does Linux only work FAT32 or NTFS?
    I do have Fusion/XP, also access to WIN PC's, but I just hate to use it when I shouldn't have to. It makes no sense why the drive can't be read by the BDP-1 when formatted for WIN under OS X.
    And there was one other issue, after the third try to format fro WIN the external drive suddenly began making faint clicking sounds instead of a spinning drive sound only when plugged into BDP-1 USB port. But it works fine when connected to iMac FW.
    HW Specs:
    Drive: G-Drive Mobile USB/FW 750GB

    Exchanged drive. Works now.

  • T45xi driver workaround for win 7

    HP t45xi       driver workaround       for      win 7  32bit

    Hello @ddutch,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you're looking for a print driver for your HP Officejet t45xi All-in-One Printer on your Windows 7 computer. Unfortunately, due to the age of your machine HP has not released a driver since Windows XP.
    HP Products Not Supported in Windows 7
    However, you may be able to try an alternate print driver to gain basic printing abilities. I cannot guarantee an alternate driver will work, but it's worth a shot to try it.
    How to Add Alternate Driver:
    1. Disconnect the Parallel or USB Cable into the computer or the printer before proceeding
    2. Click on the Start menu
    3. Select Devices and Printers
    4. Click Add a Printer at the top
    5. Click Add a Local Printer
    6. Select 'Use an Existing Port' and make sure that LPT1 is selected. Hit Next.
    7. You should now see a list of Manufacturers and Printers. Click HP as the Manufacturer and select Deskjet 9800
    8. Click Next
    9. You can Rename your printer to the HP Officejet t45xi and click Next to complete the Add a Printer wizard.
    10. Plug in the Parallel or USB Cable, whichever you use.
    Once your printer is successfully added in, please test printing to verify if the driver is functioning for you.
    Please respond to this post with the result of installing an alternate print driver. Good luck!

  • "SM Bus Controller" Driver Won't Load

    Hello all, newby here,
    Building a new computer(it's been a couple years since the last one) and at the last minute chose a MSI MB over my usual ASUS.
    p35 Neo2- FR
    Core 2 Quad Q6600, LGA 775, 2.40 GHz
    2- 2GB Buffalo Certified DDR2 Dimm, 667Mhz, unbuffered, Non-EEC
    PNY NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500, 256Mb
    Seagate 250GB sata2 16m
    Antec Solo case, sweet!
    Antec Truepower Trio, 550 watt, ATX12v v2.2 & EPS12v
    Bios   AMI V1.1  5/11/2007
    Win XP Pro 64
    ver. 5.2.3790 SP1 build 3790
    So when loading the OS the MSI support CD doesn't support the 64 bit OS, so had to manually load the NIC driver and the sound driver.
    but in device mangler there's still one driver that won't load
    "SM bus controller"
    From within device manager got it to look at the entire MSI support CD but it still won't load, Google is no help either and can't find the P35 chipset drivers at Intel either, I'm guessing this is a chipset driver, the "system management bus controller"?
    thanks in advance

    Here are the Intel Chipset drivers for your board: http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1261
    It's the last one at the bottom of the page.
    How come I didn't see that!! I used the other drivers on that page, dohhh. I got the drivers from the Intel auto loader on their site. After loading them the yellow question mark went away for the SM bus controller but then lost all the USB root hubs and the USB mouse, had to remove and re-install them all with the keyboard. Man this build is a real education.

    Hello and welcome,
    I confess I have no experience with ThinkServers, but I'd expect the SMBus controller driver to be in the chipset driver download.

  • Satellite C870-11G - AC power adapter compatibility question

    I have a C870-11G.
    It uses power adapter part no PA3917U-1ACA which recently became damaged when someone tripped on the cable and it bent the end which connects to the laptop.
    I used to have a Toshiba C660D-10W a few years ago and still have the power adapter for that laptop, part no PA3714E-1AC3,
    Does anyone know if this is compatible with my C870?
    It seems to fit but I didn't want to try it incase it damages the battery or something.
    Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

    On the first pic you can see the values:
    *19V* (Volt) *3.42A* (Ampere)
    On the second pic you can find the same values.
    So both AC adaptors provide the same volt and ampere values and should be compatible.

  • [ms-1719/gx700] - windows 7 64bit - mass storage controller driver missing

    Hi,
    I have a question about finding/installing the mass storage controller driver, after a clean install of win7 sp1 64bit (home edition).
    I bought a new drive (Seagate ST9500420AS), onto which I installed the OS.
    I thought the OS itself was supposed to install this driver?.....I looked at Seagate's site and they say the same thing. For good measure I used the "live update 5" MSI utility to see if they could provide it for my mobo....nothing useful came up there, and also looked at their page for my laptop model (GX700) no such drivers available either....neither for XP/Vista, let alone win7 64bit.
    After installing the OS I also went out to Intel's site and downloaded/installed the latest chipset drivers for my mobo/chipset as well.....that didnt fix it.
    so question is, where can I find this if none of the above worked??.
    here's my detailed specs page:

    thanks,

    guys,
    thanks a lot for the quick replies.
    @Stu:
    I was actually wondering about those...if those micro reader drivers were what I needed...thanks for confirming and point at the x64 version. I'll put them on pretty soon, see what happens.
    @Henry,
    no, I wasnt aware about that at all.....but now that you mentioned it, it makes sense, the difference between my old sata1 and the new sata2. I am pretty inexperienced when it comes to messing w/ hardware, so the question is where would I get a jumper block like that?
    also if I leave it as I have for the last 2 months since I had the new HD, what could happen w/out our the jumper block?....data loss/corruption, anything like that or worse??.....just wondering if it'd be ok for me to leave it as is, or if there are any issues that can come up, for which it'd be worth for me to get the jumper and install it as you mention.
    also if not having this jumper does cause any issues, I was wonder if it could cause certain blank-out crashes that I've been having, which seemed so far to be related to vidcard.....but not sure if this difference between sata1 and sata2 could actually be causing these....here is the thread for that if you have any thoughts...
