SVE1112M1E and Windows 8.1 missing drivers

[pcproffsen]

I replaced the harddrive (because it crashed) on a SVE1112M1E

Then I installed a clean Windows 8.1

Now when browsing available drivers I seem to miss some, because I get some yellow warnings in device manager.

SNYA008

SNY5001

SMB001

I dont understand why I get those, when I installed the drivers available.

What can I do ?

Hi pcproffsen and welcome.

SNYA008 is the Sony Wireless State Device driver

SNY5001 is the Sony Firmware Extension Parser Device driver (SFEP Driver)

Both of these drivers are available for download on the support pages for your model here: -

Look in the 'Preinstalled Drivers and Utilities' section for Windows 8.  Normally, when upgrading from W8 to W8.1 these are carried forward but if you clean install W8.1, you will need several of the Preinstalled W8 drivers.

I am unsure what SMB001 is - what is not working properly?  Is the Touchpad working OK?

I installed the suggested driver files, but I still have the same exclamation marks...

Or... I have two left.

SNYA008 and SMB001

And everything seem to work...

Touchpad works and keyboard works.

To install the driver for SNYA008 i had to run the install once, finding the temp folder for it in: c:\Users\myaccount\AppData\Local\Temp\

Then go to Update Driver and Have Disk, and point to that folder.

And the other driver

SMB0001 seem to be for Synaptics SMBus Driver.

Im not sure to fix that one yet ...

All I can suggest is that you try installing the W8 Synaptics Pointing Driver 16.2.16.2.

If all else fails, it may be part of the bespoke Sony Drivers & Utilities - you could try installing the W8 Sony Notebook Utilities and the Sony Shared Library.

That driver worked, thank you !

I also tried a newer one from Synaptics.
v17.0.19
That did ot work...
