Unknown Device - on PCI Bus - ACPI\SMO8800 / ~SMO8800 - IRQ 0x00000017 (23)
Hi
My machine is a Dell Latitude E6320 and I am a Windows 7 user.
I have one unknown device showing in my device manager. I have tried to update the driver but windows does not recognize it as well as I am not able to uninstall / remove it.
I am adding another thanks to you for the solution provided. After reading your message, before downloading and installing the driver, I went to the Dell page and look at all the drivers for my laptop (I also have a Dell XPS 15 L502X) and no matter how I looked for it, I could not find it. It is a shame that Dell does not provide a driver for a component they know they placed on the laptop as part of its configuration.
I don't know how did you find out about this driver but it has been of great help for many of us, thank you very much!

The free fall sensor is here.

Thanks for that
It worked on my DELL XPS15, L502X
I had searched everywhere for it!
Pity it isn't included in the L502X Downloads pages, it would have saved a lot of time!!
I am very grateful for your help

I have the same problem but does this solution apply to a Dell Studio 1745 as well!? I didn't know that it had a "free fall sensor" as well....

Yes the ST Microelectronics free fall sensor is common among many models.http://ftp.dell.com/FOLDER01168946M/1/Chipset_Driver_XWJWG_WN_4.10.0036_A05.EXE

Thanks from another very grateful Dell user, this is exactly what I've been looking for to stop my "missing driver" messages. Cheers!
