Fingerprint Reader not working upon waking from sleep for windows login

Hello,
I have a brand new T540P with a Validity fingerprint reader. 
Rougly 80% of the time, the Fingerprint reader is unresponsive at the windows login screen after waking the computer from sleep. It works 100% of the time when booting from an off position, however. Once logged in, it also works 100% of the time. The issue only arises when logging into windows.
Things I have tried
-uninstalling/installing device in device manager and finger print manager pro software
-setting fingerprints through both fingerprint manager pro software (lenovo) OR through the built in windows fingerprint control panel options
-disabling "allow windows to turn off this device to save power" in device manager.
I should note as well that I have another T540P that I ordered as a replacement. Both models experience the same issue.
Is this a platform wide issue affecting all T540P models? This is frusterating. 
Solved!

Your report is the first we have ever heard of this issue on T/W.  It does not happen on my T/W systems here (with or without 30 Day Standby enabled).  The other reports I heard of this problem came from X240.
I just want to confirm with you - the problem happens after coming out of Sleep (and not Hibernate), right?
Can you tell me exactly what you are doing?  e.g.
1.  Use the computer normally (is AC attached or not?)
2.  Close the lid - the computer goes to sleep  (or do you go to sleep some other way?)
3.  Open the lid 2 hours later (or how long)?
4.  are you using a dock?
The more info you can provide, the better.  Thanks for your help.
Also please let me know what BIOS version you have.

  • Fingerprin​t reader not working after resuming from sleep

    I kind of mentioned this problem in a previous post and was directed here http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/documen​t.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67245 which is a patch that could possibly fix it.This patch didn't work. What is happening is when my laptop comes back from sleep either the fingerprint reader is unresponsive, it says "waiting..." at the top of the screen instead of the normal scan message and is unresponsive, or in some cases when I click other credentials it shows a third account (first is my account, second is the reader account,and the third is a stop sign thing that says the fingerprint reader isn't attached). When I sign in with my normal password and try to go to the fingerprint software it pops up a little window that is labeled Lenovo Fingerprint 2.0 and the message is "Pleae wait...".
    Other then returning from sleep the fingerprint reader has been working fine. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks.
    Edited to add patch link.

    Well I got it working again but I'm not exactly sure how. I will go over what I went through so you guys can get an idea and possibly fix it. To start off I talked to MS support and I worked with them for a really long time. They tried intstalling different drivers (other then AuthenTec) and anytime we did that it would say "Fingerprint reader not available" at the login. They tried changing the power settings and which devices could wake up my computer and that had no effect either. I called Lenovo and they basically just told me to download the software that was already on the computer and change the option to have it wake up the computer, which doesn't exist. They were very unhelpful.
    What eventualy got it working (and it's been working so far), is uninstalling the driver and software. Then reinstalling it all and installing the patch linked above. The first time I installed it I just double clicked it and went through the installation process. But you need to go into the folder it installs it into (C:\DRIVERS\VISTA\FPIRPON\) and double click FPIRPOn.reg which will add the fix to the registry. On top of this I also went into Device Manager and unchecked the box that allows the computer to turn of the fingerprint reader under Properties->Power Management for the device. The last thing I did was do a registry edit to force the USB to reset when waking from sleep. I found the registry edit here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928631/en-us.
    So I am pretty sure it was the patch that fixed it when I correctly installed it because I had tried both the power management thing to keep it from getting turned off AND the registry edit and it didn't work. I also thing that Vista SP1 fixes what the registry edit does, but I tried it anyways because I was desperate haha. I'm going to undo the registry edit and power management thing one at a time and see if it still works. If it doesn't keep working I'm guessing it's a hardware problem and going to call Lenovo to get it fixed.
     Anyone who is having this problem I would suggest they try the patch in the link that I first posted (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/documen​t.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67245)and follow the installation instructions carefully. Good luck!

  • Bluetooth is not ready after waking from sleep on Windows 7

    After upgrading my Tecra M10 from Windows Vista x64 Enterprise to Windows 7 x64 Enterprise, sometimes, when I wake the laptop from sleep, Bluetooth is not ready.
    Hibernating doesn't solve the problem, it needs a reboot which is a problem for me beacuse I usually have lots of applications open.
    When this happens, the only Bluetooth devices on Device Manager are:
    * Bluetooth RFCOMM
    * Bluetooth USB Controller-5 from TOSHIBA
    When all is working well, the Bluetooth devices on Device Manager are:
    * Bluetooth RFBUS
    * Bluetooth RFCOMM
    * Bluetooth RFHID
    * Bluetooth USB Controller-5 from TOSHIBA
    How can I restart Bluetooth without having to restart the whole system? Turning wireless communications on and off on the side silder doesn't work.
    Thanks,
    Paulo Morgado

    Hi,
    I have a *two week old X500-10T* From day one I have had a number of issues, working with the Toshiba Technical support I have had to disable hibernation for mains power and battery use. My screen went to sleep and just could not wake it up without doing a reset procedure including the removal of the battery etc.
    I have been told to look out for another updated BIOS that should solve this issue. I already have a later BIOS on my laptop than the ones the Toshiba Tec support have.
    Having sorted that (not really) I also have an issue with my Bluetooth and mouse. It seems to work till you leave it for about two hours, then the icon in the task bar goes ??RED?? and you can??t in any way get it to connect again. By doing a reboot it mostly comes back into action but not always. I have to fiddle about with switching on and off from the Bluetooth manager till it comes back to life.
    Again with the great support from the Toshiba Technical support (TTS) we tried almost everything, loading the latest stack, going back to a restore point before the installation of the Windows update etc etc, but nothing solved the issue.
    Again TTS suggested I keep an eye out for a BIOS update. My previous Toshiba has worked well for many years and I am sure Toshiba will eventually come up with the cause. Very disappointing, but I am keeping my fingers crossed for a satisfactory solution (shortly I hope)
    I hope this helps some other X500-10 users.

  • Tx2510us - Fingerprint Reader Not Detected after Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 installed

    Have had Windows 7 32-Bit installed and running fine since early last year..   Today Windows Update installed Service Pack 1.
    Now, the fingerprint reader (AuthenTec AES1610) is not detected.   Digital Persona reported the fingerprint reader isn't connected and the Device Manager shows installed and working properly..   When the computer boots, the logon screen shows not detected..
    Have seen several older posts that reference a page with a fix for AuthenTec/Digital Persona, but get a 403 error when trying to access..
    Hoping someone still has this info, or possibly there's a new fix to work with Service Pack 1..
    Thanks
    ~~~~ Nothings forgotten. Nothing is ever forgotten. ~~~~

    Followed the given advice: installed SP1 again, ran Firefox in safemode, disabled other running programs as mutorrent, still Firefox didnt work. I had internetconnection (after restarting mutorrent this did work, the app telling me what the weather outside is worked) but no Firefox: as previous time I got the start screen, but could not browse the internet.
    I also tried to start the Internet Explorer and it also looked as if that application had problems (but that can also be because I did not use it for a while - old version or whatever - and it is not my standard browser).
    Have again performed a roll back in order to remove SP1, now Firefox works again.
    If somebody has advice it would be very welcome!

  • Mutiple monitor setup not working after waking from sleep

    Mac Mini 2011
    Mavericks (10.9.3)
    Monitor 1 Mini->HDMI Cable->Monitor
    Monitor 2 Mini->Mini Display Port to HDMI Adapter->HDMI Cable->Monitor
    Monitors are not the same size
    Thw adapter is PNY (PNY A-DM-HD-W01)
    Upgraded to Mavericks, second monitor works nicely. However, when waking the system up after it goes to sleep, the second monitor does not turn on. Further, the primary montior blinks every few seconds between the usual display and shrinking the windows to a smaller size. Unplugging the second monitor from the HDMI adapter cable stops the blinking, but connecting it again (even after waiting a few minutes) makes the blinking continue and the second monitor does not wake up. On reboot, all works fine again.

  • Using Second Monitor Airport Does Not Reconnect Upon Waking from Sleep.

    Using: MBP; OSX v10.6.5; Airport v5.5.2; Menu Bar assigned to second monitor which is a ViewSonic plugged in via mini-display port to HDMI.
    When MBR goes to sleep and wakes upon mouse movement Airport does not re-establish the connection to my network.
    No closing of lid or manually putting MBP to sleep involved. Just leave lid open on MBP and walk away for an hour. Upon return, move mouse, everthing wakes except Airport which shows an exclamation mark in the menu bar for the Airport ICON.
    When using MBP display for the Menu Bar screen Airport wakes OK.
    What's with that behavior???

    I changed channels from AUTO to Ch 11. Was there a specific frequency you had in mind.
    I also closed the lid to the MBP, let things go to sleep, returned to the office, moved the mouse and the Airport came on line on its own.
    I figure there is programmatic problem within either the OS or the Airport coding that prevents Airport re-finding a network with both displays active but the Menu Bar on the secondary screen.

  • Black screen upon waking from sleep

    Hello,
    I have an intermittent problem with waking my entry-level MBP from sleep; on some occasions, the screen remains black instead of the system waking up and displaying the Finder.
    Recently, upon waking from sleep, the authentication dialog displayed, I typed my password and pressed return, the dialog dismissed, the screen remained black, and the wait cursor displayed without spinning.
    To recover, I needed to force power down and cold reboot.
    system.log (in Console) contained the following entry at the time of the crash.
    Aug 14 07:39:51 BF-H-MBP kernel[0]: NVChannel(GL): Graphics channel exception! status = 0xffff info32 = 0xd = GR: SW Notify ErrorAug 14 07:39:51 BF-H-MBP kernel[0]: NVChannel(GL): Graphics channel exception! status = 0xffff info32 = 0xd = GR: SW Notify Error
    The entries surrounding the one above were as follows (the next to last one evidently was the final entry before the forced power down).

    Can someone diagnose the problem based upon the above Console entries?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    Thanks for taking time to post.
    My question is different than the one your posting answers.
    My question is, what is the diagnosis of the problem based upon the Console log entries that I've posted (rather than "How do I recover from the black screen?")?
    Cheers!

  • My zero Key isn't working after waking from sleep mode. This is a real problem for me because my password contains a zero

    My zero Key isn't working after waking from sleep mode. This is a real problem for me because my password contains a zero.  I don't recall spilling anything or jamming it just that it worked before I closed the computer and wasn't after I woke it up.
    I would like to fix the key but if that's not possible right away , Is there a way to reset my password without being able to type with a key thats in it?

    Start by swapping the keyboard. You don't need to spend a fortune, and handy to have spare. USB cables can be bad even new.
    When I had some problems Apple wanted to blame the mouse, keyboard, cable, but in the end I found
    A. run Disk Warrior
    B. Corrupt pref or conflict with version of Hardware Monitor and other background tasks

  • User Name Upon Waking from Sleep

    Hey guys,
    We're given the choice of entering a password upon waking from sleep. I kinda want to take it one step further and have the user name erased too so that people have to enter the user name and the password upon the computer waking. Does anyone know how to do this or if it's even possible?
    Thanks for any help.

    The only way I can think of would be to log out rather than just put it to sleep or let it go to sleep. However, if you have a good secure password there really isn't too much reason to require the additional step.
    There may be a way to do it but I can't think of one.

  • Having to wait for Trackpad and Keyboard to work when waking from sleep, any solutions?

    I have a 2012 MBP 13" base model (OSX 10.8.2) and when I first brought it was really fast at waking from sleep (lid being closed) and the trackpad and keyboard would work instantly. Now I'm having to wait 20+ seconds before I can do anything with the trackpad or keyboard. It usually happens after the mac has been asleep more than an hour, any solutions to this problem?

    I'm having exactly this issue. I have a 15" MacBook Pro SR as well. It's happened four or five times since I installed Leopard yesterday. The trackpad works but the keyboard is completely dead. Also, choosing "Restart..." from the Apple menu doesn't work, as other apps fail to quit and (if I quit them with the trackpad) I get an error that the finder has failed to quit. As with JGB5, this happens after the MBP wakes from sleep -- sometimes resleeping/reawakening it fixes it, but sometimes the keyboard dies a couple of minutes afterwards anyway, and a restart is required.

  • Fingerprint reader not working on elitebook 2540p

    I have elitebook 2540p, and I can't get my fingerprint reader to work.
    The driver is installed and looks good at device manager.
    I installed HP ProtectTools 5.12.754 and I can not see in the credentials area the fingerprint, only the smart card.
    I tried also with DigitalPersona software and it's the same.
    I have download the last driver from HP website under the correct operating system (Windows 7 enterprise 64bit).
    I think the fingerprint reader is working since I entered the Bios and there it worked when I swept my finger. I saw the image of my fingerprint on the screen.
    What might be the problem? why HP protect tool can not recognize my fingerprint reader?
    Thanks in advance,
    Ariel

    I have the same issue with the same laptop
    I've noticed that whichever driver you try and install, the version always seems stuck at 2.1.0.2

  • Lenovo T510 (4313CTO) fingerprint reader not working at first login

    I have a Lenovo T510 (4313CTO) system that until recently worked just perfectly. After I know not what - I have checked the Windows Update log, etc. - now, when booting, when the system reaches the Windows logon screen, the usual 'Please wait' message is displayed, but after maybe 30s of that, it reads 'No attempt to start this service has been made since the last boot'.
    This error only occurs on a fresh boot. When logging out and in again, it works correctly. I use the SSO function, so one finger swipe unlocks the hard drive and should log into Windows. The first BIOS swipe works fine, i.e. it cannot be a hard ware problem.
    After a little research, I reckon this 'service' that is not starting is upeksvr.exe, given pg. 66 of this Lenovo CSS document. The particular error message I believe is a Windows system error, no. 1077 given this MSDN article.
    After removing all of the Lenovo Fingerprint software and all fingerprint data, upgrading FPRS, downgrading, and having trawled the net for solutions to no avail, I have not had any success. A call to Lenovo yielded no help either (no surprise there...) I would really appreciate any help you can offer, to save me from having to reinstall the system!

    I had a similar problem, the first time I occurred after a Windows Update.  This time I formatted and made a fresh Windows 7 installation. 
    The next time the same happened again after I updated the system using the "Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update".
    When I tried to open the Fingerprint software directly the following message appeared “The dependency service or group failed to start" and the Error Code E7210001 appeared in details.
    This time I discovered in another forum while searching for another problem ( "Devices and Printers" did not load) that the problem was due to one of the services was disabled, the Credential Manager service.
    To correct this just type in Start the following: services.exe
    Look for the service: Credential Manager
    In properties the Startup type should be set to "Automatic"
    Press Ok and the next time you restart the computer the Fingerprint reader should work.
    Hope this solves your problem.

  • Sluggish upon waking from sleep

    when I wake my Mac Book Pro from sleep, my mouse reacts strangely (erratically, sluggishly, etc) for a good 30 seconds. Anyone experience anything similar? Thanks.

    Not sure if you've fixed this issue already, but are you using the iStat Pro widget by any chance? I was experiencing the exact same problem (erratic mouse behaviour after waking from sleep), and it was resolved when I removed the iStat Pro widget.
    Not to cast aspersions on this particular widget or anything, but removing it seemed to resolve the issue for me.

  • Keyboard volume keys don't work after waking from sleep

    This problem has existed for many months on my 2009 Mac Pro. I'm running 10.6.3. The problem is reproducible 100% of the time. I use external speakers. Sound output is set to "Line Out."
    1. Boot machine. External speakers work fine. Volume keys on keyboard (F11, F12) work correctly.
    2. Put machine to sleep.
    3. After waking from sleep, F11 and F12 no longer control the volume of the external speakers. The "pop" noise when hitting F11 and F12 is emitted from the internal speaker. The mute key (F10) does work for the external speakers, however.
    4. The keyboard volume controls become responsive again by switching the sound output from Line Out to another output option and then back to Line Out.
    This bug is a huge hassle. Does anyone have a solution?

    I have several mid-2009 8-core Mac Pro's, all running Snow Leopard, and all have been having this problem as well.
    I will not guarantee this is going to work for anyone else....but we have found a (slightly inelegant) workaround for it that has been working for several weeks now without fail.
    Prior to putting your MacPro to sleep, run the volume all the way up and leave it there. Afterwards, put it to sleep as usual. We use the keyboard to do this, but I would imagine any method should have the same affect. However, I've not experimented.
    Anyway...this has worked 100% of the time for us. The only downside of it is that you have to remember to run it up before....and then back down after waking (else that first alert sound or music file you play will really wake YOU up!)
    If this works for anyone else, let me know.
    Apple should never have let this one out the door with this bug. Especially, as Apple Support is....wanting, at best.
