Hi, I just bought a Dell laptop and resinstalled Windows 7 on it. Now I have an unknown device ‘ACPI/SMO8810’. What driver can I download to fix it? A.Here is the download link to solve your ACPI/SMO8810 Unknown Device issue: ST Microelectronics Free Fall Data Protection Driver - Dell ACPI SMO8810 (32923 downloads), Dell dl link. Aug 12, 2015 I didnt think it was worth upgrading to Windows 10 for the asus eee running on windows 7. In addition to the issues above, it also ran slower in general, there were compatibility issues with old software, and startup took a long time, compared to my windows 8.1 toshiba which was upgraded to windows 10 and compared to win7 on this computer.
NOTE: That is the accelerometer that is built into your laptop.
More details about free fall sensors:
That free-fall sensor is an accelerometer which can detect movement (i.e. downward acceleration or falling) and using that sensor your laptop can take steps to protect itself by parking the hard drive heads or other measure.
NOTE: The driver is specifically for your Dell laptop’s ST Microelectronics Free Fall Sensor that shows up as Unknown Device ACPISMO8810 🙂

It is very easy to install and only takes a few clicks once you have downloaded the correct driver  🙂

IBM pioneered this technology in their ThinkPad line way back in 2003 and Dell has implemented it as well. Of course, it has applications beyond protection as even the Apple iPad/iPad 2/iPhones have an accelerometer which developers can use for games and other purposes!
PS I would like to thank you for your question, as I am a bit fan of the Latitude E series. You have a nice laptop!
