    Hi guys!
    Can anyone here help me with something that is driving me absolutely insane.
    Namely, i bought a Lenovo Y530 today, and decided to do a clean install. I have all drivers installed except one that just doesn't go away. It's an Intel based Y530, btw.
    I have tried all drivers that are on Lenovo's driver page, but nothing works. I accidentally erased the drivers that came with the laptop on a D: drive, but that shouldn't be a problem because Lenovo homepage has them all anyway, right?

    Maybe someone here has ideas as to what it could be. In Device Manager, it's under Other Devices, and all i can read about is it's location, which is: on Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller.
    Weird, cause i have ACPI drivers installed. So, anyone have any idea what it could be, or what else could i try? Would really appreciate your thoughts on this.
