Drivers ensure correct interaction between the operating system and hardware. For proper operation of all components of the laptop, immediately after installing the OS, you need to install the accompanying software. This can be done using various methods, each of which differs not only in the algorithm of actions, but also in complexity.
First of all, we recommend checking the box from your laptop computer for the presence of a proprietary disk from the company on which the drivers are located. If you don’t have it or your drive is broken, use one of the options for searching and downloading software below.
Method 1: Manufacturer's web resource
Everything on the disk is available for free on the official ASUS website; you just need to find the appropriate files for your mobile PC model. If you have chosen this method, follow these steps:
Launch the downloaded program and simply follow the instructions that appear.
Method 2: Proprietary software from ASUS
ASUS is major manufacturer laptops, components and various peripherals, so it has its own program that will help make it easier for users to find updates. Downloading drivers through it is carried out as follows:
- Follow the link above to home page company support, where through the pop-up menu "Service" navigate to the site "Support".
- To avoid searching for a laptop model in the list of all products, enter the name in the search bar and go to the page by clicking on the result that appears.
- Like drivers, this utility is available for download in the section "Drivers and Utilities".
- Before starting the download, it is mandatory to indicate the OS version you are using.
- Now in the list shown, find the utility section and download ASUS Live Update Utility.
- Installing the program is not at all difficult. Open the installer and click on "Next".
- Decide where to save the Live Update Utility.
- Wait for the installation process to complete and run the utility. In the main window, you can immediately click on "Check for update immediately".
- Install the found updates by clicking on the appropriate button.
Method 3: Third Party Software
Nowadays on the Internet it is not difficult to find a large amount of a wide variety of software, the main task of which is to simplify the use of a computer. Among such programs are those that search for and install drivers for any connected equipment. We recommend that you familiarize yourself in detail with the list of the best representatives in our other article below.
We can recommend using DriverPack Solution. This software will scan automatically, display a list of everything that needs to be installed, you will select what you need and start the installation process. Read the detailed instructions at the link below.
Method 4: Laptop Parts ID
When devices are created, they are all assigned unique code, with the help of which correct work with the OS takes place. Knowing the hardware ID, the user can easily find the latest drivers on the network. In addition, this method is quite effective, since the downloaded files are almost always suitable for the equipment. Detailed information Read our other article on this topic.
Method 5: Standard Windows utility
Microsoft has added to its operating system Windows system a function that allows you to find and install drivers for any component without additional software or monitoring the manufacturer’s website. You will find instructions on how to complete this process in an article by another author.
Today we tried to describe to you in as much detail as possible all the available methods for searching and downloading drivers for the ASUS K53SD laptop. Get to know them, choose the most convenient one and download quickly and easily.
For Bluetooth, download the driver Bluetooth_Atheros_Win7_64_Z740115 (172 MB), For Wi-Fi work — WLAN_Atheros_Win7_64_Z920458(15.8 mb). For Lan you will need to download drivers LAN_Atheros_Win7_64_Z2088- 5.1 MB. As you can see, all my chips are from Atheros (some include Broadcom and Intel).
For USB operation 3.0 (USB on the left side of the laptop) driver needed USB3_Asmedia_Win7_64_Z11440(3.42 MB)
Download drivers for the touchpad from Synaptics - Touchpad_Synaptics_Win7_64_Z153170(43.7 MB)
Additional drivers for the system as a whole: Card_Reader_Alcor_Win7_64_Z12011708443(8MB, card reader), Audio_Realtek_Win7_64_Z6016482(97.7 MB, sound drivers), Chipset_Intel_INFUpdate_Win7_64_Z9201021(2.53 MB, chipset drivers), ATKPackage_Win7_64_Z100015(for operation of additional buttons on the keyboard), MEI_Intel_Win7_32_Win7_64_Z7001144.
When the drivers are all downloaded, it’s time to start searching for the utilities that are installed by default on our laptop. Fortunately, they are present in the same place as the drivers. Open the Utilities and Miscellaneous tabs and find the following:
TurboBoost_Monitor_Win7_64_z21230- TurboBoost technology monitor ( automatic acceleration processor).
Splendid_Video_K53SD_Win7_64_Z1020040— a utility for switching between monitor modes using the fn+S buttons.
Power4Gear_Hybrid_Win7_64_Z1150— a utility for advanced settings of power plans and switching between them using the fn+space buttons (the running man icon on the key).
InstantOn_Win7_64_Z2110— a utility for quickly waking up from sleep mode.
FaceLogon_Win7_64_Z100013— user identification using the built-in video camera.
So you don't have to look for spare parts for repairs mobile devices, install drivers specifically for your model.
I still haven’t found a couple of software - SonicFocus for working with sound and a utility for working with the camera (launched using the fn+V buttons).
When downloading, select the link Global— Global, try to download latest version drivers.
Once you have finished downloading the package of drivers and utilities, you can reinstall Windows with peace of mind.
