    Sorry, I had a typo in the thread title.

    I have this Unknown Device in the Device Manager. The Unknown Device hardware ID is ACPI\SMO8810.

    Looking it up, it said it's SL Microelectronics Free Fall Sensor.

    Went to Dell's Alienware 13 drivers page, I can't find it in the Applications category:

    My laptop is Alienware 13 R1.

    What drivers should I be installing if the ACPI\SMO8810 is not the Free Fall Sensor?
