Hi Guys,
After doing a clean update on my HP elitebook 8570W i've had some unknown devices in my device manager.
The first one is a so called "base system device" in PCI Slot 2 (PCI bus 36, device 0, function 1). I tried everything within my capabilities to determine what this device is and what drivers to install, without succes so far.
In the same section; other devices, there's another unknown device on PCI Express Root Complex that gives me the very same headache.
I'm hoping you guys can help me figure this one out.
If you need any other information, I'll be happy to provide that.
Kind regards,
Didier

Hi:
The base system device is definitely the JMicron card reader that needs the driver, not the alcor one.
You need this driver...
If the above driver doesn't work by automatically installing it, try manually installing it.
To manually install the driver, go to the device manager, click on the Base System Device.
Click on the driver tab. Click on Update Driver. Select the Browse my computer for driver software option and browse to the driver folder that was created when you ran the file.
The file will be located in C:\SWSetup\sp63637
Make sure the Include subfolders box is checked and see of the driver installs that way.

Go2,
Thanks for your quick response. I did as instructed. For the fingerprint sensor, however, is no driver available for W10(64). The validity sensor is listed in the device manager, but I cant get it to work.
Do you have any other advice for me?
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Didier

Hi:
You need this driver for the base system device...
The unknown device can be a couple of things.
Please post the hardware ID for the unknown device.
To find the hardware ID, go to the device manager and click on the unknown device needing drivers.
Then click on the details tab at the top of the unknown device window.
Now you should see a Property drop down list and it will be defaulted to device description.
Drop down on that list and select the 3rd item (hardware ID's).
Post the top string of characters that you see in the window.
