Intel(R) 82801GBM (ICH7-M/U) LPC - no driver!


Recommended Posts

On my laptop, I get the following device showing no drivers in Device Manager:

Intel® 82801GBM (ICH7-M/U) LPC

Anyone any ideas on what that is and how I can solve it.

(This doesn't happen in Vista.)

32 bit, RC 7100.

Any help appreciated.

There is one built into Windows 7. Well I use 64-Bit, but if theres a driver in 64-Bit, there must be one in 32-Bit. Go to device manager, click the unknown device with Intel? 82801GBM (ICH7-M/U) LPC, click update driver, choose let me pick driver, device type click all devices, let the long list of all supported devices load, then click on manufacturer: Intel, then when it shows u the LONG list, somewhere in middle in alphabetical order would be the driver with the exact name as your descriptor, add it and you're done it will appear as driver found and listed on the last category. Its that simple. You might want to find the 4 alphanumeric code at the very end of the driver like mine was Intel? 82801GBM (ICH7-M/U) LPC (27B9) according to its descriptor, it would be easier to find like that.

Thanks a lot, I'll try that later when I'm at the laptop.

Incidentally, what does that device do?

It is the chipset. If your sound and drive work fine, then it is a bug, it work.

Driver issues are not and will never be a bug.

Anyways if BrY's suggestion doesn't work we're going to need the last four digits of the driver number to properly help you. For that driver it should be 27?? if you get my drift.

But if it is not really a driver issue? I had that before. The device got duplicated somehow, the real one was fine and the clone was not producing a warning.

It worked! Thanks for that.
