    I recently did a wipe because something, not sure what exactly pretty much required me to.

    All drivers are installed and laptop is back to full functionality. However, SM BUS Driver is missing. Anyone able to help me? Dell site seems to be screwing up.

    Help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    Hi Muskytaru, please go to the device manager and right click on the SM BUS Controller, select properties, go to Details, select hardware ID's from the dropdown menu, copy the first line on your clipboard and post it here so that I can look for that driver.

    It should be this one.

    If not try this other one.

    It should be the first one (chipset) but in case of failure try the management engine interface one. (second one).
