Before You Download: Three Quick Checks
- Model code. Read the label on the bottom of the laptop. Regional codes differ (for example NP-RV510-A02xx or NP-RV510-S01xx), and hardware can differ with them.
- Windows version and bit-depth. Press Windows key + Pause and look at “System type”. Choose the 32-bit or 64-bit package to match.
- Wi-Fi chip. Open Device Manager, right-click the network adapter (or the “Network Controller” with a yellow mark), choose Properties, then Details, then Hardware Ids.
VEN_14E4means Broadcom,VEN_168Cmeans Atheros. Install only the matching Wi-Fi driver.
Samsung NP-RV510I Overview and Hardware Variants
The NP-RV510I is a 15.6-inch notebook from Samsung’s RV series. It shares its motherboard platform, and one BIOS package, with the RV410I, S3510I and E3510I, which is why Samsung’s BIOS file name lists all four. It was sold with Windows 7, and Samsung also lists Windows XP drivers.
The RV510 family was sold with several configurations. Reviews and retail listings show Intel Celeron and Pentium dual-core processors with Intel GMA 4500M graphics, and some regional units, such as the RV510-S01PL, with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 545v. Check which one you have before installing a graphics driver.

Recommended Installation Order
- Chipset, then restart.
- Graphics, then restart.
- Audio.
- LAN, and the one Wi-Fi driver that matches your card.
- Bluetooth and touchpad.
- Optional Samsung utilities.
- BIOS only if you are fixing a specific issue, with the AC adapter plugged in the whole time.
For each package: download it, extract the ZIP if it does not start by itself, run the installer, and restart when asked. After a clean Windows install you will have no network driver, so download the LAN and Wi-Fi packages on another computer and copy them over on a USB drive.
Common Samsung NP-RV510I Driver Problems
No Wi-Fi after installing Windows
Do not guess between the Broadcom and Atheros packages. Read the hardware ID as described above, then install the one that matches. If the adapter still does not appear, check that the wireless switch or Fn key is turned on.
Low resolution or “Standard VGA Graphics Adapter”
Install the chipset driver first, restart, then install the graphics driver. If your hardware ID shows VEN_1002 (ATI/AMD) instead of Intel (VEN_8086), the Intel package on this page is not for your unit, and you should search Samsung’s support page for your exact model code.
No sound or microphone
Install the audio driver for your Windows version and restart. If an “Unknown device” remains under Sound, video and game controllers, run the installer again as administrator.
Touchpad does not scroll or respond correctly
Install touchpad driver 1.1.0.0 for your Windows version. The version number is the same for XP and Windows 7, but the files are different.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I download Samsung NP-RV510I drivers?
From Samsung. The buttons above go to Samsung’s download center, and you can also search your model code on Samsung Support.
Does the NP-RV510I support Windows 10?
Samsung’s list for this model covers Windows 7 and Windows XP only. Windows 10 may install and run with Windows Update or generic drivers, but graphics, Wi-Fi and audio may be limited.
Is it safe to keep using Windows 7 or XP?
Microsoft ended support for Windows XP on 8 April 2014 and for Windows 7 on 14 January 2020, so neither receives security updates. Keep such a laptop offline or for low-risk tasks, and avoid entering sensitive passwords on it.
Is the BIOS update the same for the RV510I and RV410I?
Yes. Samsung distributes one package for the RV410I, RV510I, S3510I and E3510I.
