Sometimes questions go un-answered when:

1. the question may be unclear or we cannot determine what it is that you are asking for.
2: The hardware in question is unknown or inadequately described.
3. the question seems to request an answer for something that cannot be explained online adequately.
4. the Experts that are online simply don't have the resources to answer your question fully.

Please feel free to re-word your question or add additional information you might feel helpful for the Experts to assist you. Always include motherboard/computer info when posting a request. That way, we won't have to guess as to what you want. Also clarify what hardware device you are wanting the driver for or if you're even wanting a driver. If you have a NEC computer, then you should be able to get support from one of the many NEC world-wide websites. I can't tell from reading your thread if you're wanting a SiS651 video driver or if your needing a bios update or something else. Requests should also be precise and clear. That's why we provide a comment box with the request form.

I am wanting a BIOS update for this particular motherboard.

I didn't see any motherboard description, only a bios id string. If you want help, you must give us something to work with. A computer/motherboard brand and model would be helpful.

Is it a retail mb or OEM?

If the latter, provide the computer brand and model.

If retail, we still need the mb brand and model (or the computer brand and model).

Is the current bios revision level v 2.05 or v 4.2.01?

I don't understand why getting a member to simply say what their computer model number is seems to be so very difficult.

Packard Bell Desktop computers have the following model names:

iMax
iMedia
IMedia VL
iMedia XS
iPower
iXtreme
one Two
iStart
iTwin
iPro

As you can see when you visit this page: http://www.packardbell.co.uk/pb/en/G...group/desktops

Current products: http://www.packardbell.co.uk/pb/en/GB/content/download

Legacy products: ftp://ftp.download.packardbell.com/DESKTOP/

Packard Bell does not post drivers/bios updates in the format you are posting.... ie: you won't find the name "P700405001" posted for finding drivers. The names listed above are how drivers/user manuals/bios updates are posted. You won't find anything matching the data you have provided.

I repeat, I cannot help you until you provide the computer brand and model. Right now, all I know is according to your own words, you have a Packard-Bell computer with a NEC motherboard inside.... are you sure? I wasn't aware that NEC made motherboards.

If you are unable to provide the needed data, consider using this program:

To find make and model of pc hardware, EVEREST Home Edition is a free system diagnostics, system information program that will id most hardware on-board a mb. as well as the actual motherboard. It will, in some cases, actually provide a download link for the driver.

Alternate Everest download link: (offers 2 sites to dl program from)

Run the program and then:

Click on Computer
Click on Summary
Right hand window (hardware) if the text is BLUE this is a link to the web site for that particular hardware.

If you have additional questions or need further help, please post a "copy and paste" of the COMPUTER SUMMARY report (Leave out the Debug–PCI section) from Everest.
