Changed Hard Drive in Inspiron N5110, There are Missing Devices
Hi everyone,
I'm having some trouble with my Inspiron N5110. I recently had to change the hard drive because the old one was fried. So I took the hard drive out and put in a new one, reinstalled windows, and got everything running again, except that when I looked at my devices, there were a few missing ones.
The Ethernet Controller, SM bus and WiFi drivers were not found.
I went to the dell website, and I was able to acquire (I believe) the correct driver for my Wireless card.
I was unable to get the SM Bus or the Ethernet controller to work. I downloaded the Realtek controller recommended by Dell, but it still says that it can't find the driver for my computer.
The problem I have now is that I can't turn my WiFi on. Additionally when I look at the Network card, it doesn't say that there is anything in there.
If anyone has any idea as to what I can do that would be amazing. Thanks in advance for all of your help.
