UPDATE: Fujitsu has released updated Windows 7 drivers which includes the missing drivers mentioned before in this blog.
Even before Windows 7 was officially released, many owners of the Fujitsu LifeBook U820 had tried out the Windows 7 beta version and had nothing but praises for it. A week after Windows 7 released I purchased my own electronic digital distribution and created bootable DVD to try out on my U820. The Fujitsu support site had also released U820 Windows 7 compatible drivers.
Fujitsu didn’t provide any “Chipset” or “Video” drivers for Windows 7 therefore I downloaded the ones for Windows Vista and installed those instead. To properly install the drivers for Windows Vista, it needed to be ran in Windows Vista compatibility mode.
Right click on the executable file and select “Properties”. Check off “Run this program in compatibility mode for:”, and select “Windows Vista” from the drop down. Finally, check off “Run this program as an administrator”.
To resolve the unknown devices found in the Device Manager, I installed the “Fujitsu System Extension Driver: FUJ02E3″ and “Fujitsu HotKey Driver FUJ02B1”, followed by the “Fujitsu System Extension Utility” and “Fujitsu HotKey Utility”
To enable the 3 buttons below the screen, I installed the “Button Driver”, “Button Utilities” (for Windows Vista), and the “Fujitsu Zoom Utility”
The touch screen wouldn’t calibrate properly but was resolved by installing the “Pen” driver.
The “GPS” driver for Windows 7 was not provided as well, therefore I used the Windows Vista driver for that as well.
Other drivers that I installed were:
- Audio
- Bluetooth
- Camera
- Fingerprint Driver
- Fujitsu Mobility Center
Drivers that I did not install:
- Media Slot
- Power Saving Utility
- WLAN (Atheros)
- WWAN (Sierra Wireless – AT&T) UMTS
