Satellite L850-11Q - missing driver for PCI Intel Panther Point PCH Host

Hello,

I purchased a Satellite L850-11Q earlier this month.

Having a Windows 7 Prof. 64-bit service pack 1 - license (and Win7 Home comes pre-installed), I formated everything (including the recovery partition, because I tend to make my own backups).

Of course I downloaded all available 64-bit drivers beforehand, but after installing everything I found that one driver is still missing!

I searched on the "sister"- notebook L855 page for compatible drivers, but could not find any (reason: not all drivers can be found on the L850-site, for example the Bluetooth stack driver - I had three unknown devices after installing all L850-drivers, two of these could be found on the L855-site).

My problem is, that there is still one unknown device in the windows device-manager.
Aida64 (a system monitoring/information,etc.-program) identified the divice to be the

"PCI Intel Panther Point PCH - Host Embedded Controller Interface 1 (HECI1) C-1".

Windows update - via right click and selecting auto driver search does not find anything, either.

Furthermore, Intel does not offer any drivers as of yet for this chipset ( I believe it might be the "7 series chipset", and that is not listed, yet).

I looked for the files here:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Default.aspx?lang=eng&changeLang=true

Any help in getting getting my hand on the driver/necessary .inf-files is appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance for your time and efford!

Hi

Panther Point was an early name for Intel express chipsets (QM77, HM77, HM76 and others…)

As far as I know the L850-11Q was equipped with an Intel HM76 express chipset.
Would recommend installing the Intel chipset driver released for this chipset.

Try this one:
Intel Chip Set Utility v9.3.0.1020 for Windows 7 - 64 Bit

Hi Paolo30,

thank you very much for your help, but the driver you linked to did not solve the problem.
Upon further investigation, it is the same one that was already installed (that is why a second install process was so fast - the drivers were already there).

I guess I just have to wait, until either Toshiba or Intel provide some drivers.
