Fingerprint instead of power on password not working any more

Hi,
my current configuration is T530i model 2392.
I recently updated BIOS to version 2.52 from 12. Feb. 2013 and of course some other software especially solid state drive firmware Version FWSS28 from 14. Feb 2013.
In BIOS Predesktop Authentication is enabled in addition with harddisk password and power on password.
Now to my problem:
before updating I software I could start with only swiping my finger over fingerprint sensor, without providing any kinde of password for harddisk or power on password. I received information about success & windows 7 (64 bit) was booting.
Now I need to provide power on password all the time, seems that fingerprint or BIOS now has a bug ?!
I did several things like:
disabling every password request in BIOS rebooting...
disabling deleting fingerprints on laptop and rebooting...
unchecked all necessary settings in fingerprint security software like SSO, power-on-password, fingerprint sensor should replace power on / hard disk password..... reboooting...
- then enabled everything again which I unchecked before.... rebooting....
Nothing has worked so far, so there it seems to be a bug in predesktop authentication...
Could you please advice or provide a fix ?

Solved!

Hi,
here short terms how I fixed it:
- opened fingerprint program & disabled everything which is of concern for authenticating with fingerprint
- deleted fingerprint with that software too
- disabled biometric device with windows tools
- deleted TPM with tpm.msc
- removed everything from BIOS regarding fingerprint, password for booting, hdd, etc
- resetted fingerprint with bios too
- loaded bios setup default (cause it was a BIOS update)
- shut down computer
- startup again and set everything in BIOS which is needed and has been disabled before
- did the same in windows (enabled everything again)
- rebootet.... prayed... computer prompts with "fingerprint matched" ==> first YEAH
- provided boot up password once....
- shutdown again....
- started with enrolling fingerprint only.... no prompt for password any more.... second YEAH
DONE

HT1349 my iphone4s power butter do not work any more . can i change a new one in att store

my iphone4s power butter do not work any more . can i change a new one in att store
it gives me troubles

outianleiz,
Mine quits working every now and then.
Most of the time I can fix it by doing a power button, home button reset. When that doesn't work plugging it into my computer does.
What have you tried?
Also I believe it is a software problem not hardware. So I would suggest not replacing it until you can get your hands on the "iOS 5.1" update. That is what I am waiting on before I calling Apple and/or ATT and raising the roof with someone over this issue.

W510 - nVidia 880M - GPU throttle not working any more

Hi everybody,
my W510 (2 month old) used to throttle down the GPU from maximum performance (550/790 MHz GPU and Memory) to lower values (135 Mhz or something) when the GPU was nearly in idle mode. I don't know when it sopped working, but today I realized the GPU staying in high performance mode all the time.
I tried the things below but none worked so far:
- changing through the different power schemes
- updating the video driver with Lenovo update tool
- installing the video driver from nVidia (using clear install option)
It has to be a software issue since I can manually change the clock using a tool called Powermizer Manager. But the "Auto" mode is not working any more. I watched the GPU clock with GPU-z.
Any ideas where I might have a look? I'm currently running the most recent Lenovo video driver.
Thanks,
Andy.

This is the response from AirDisplay ==>>>
Hello,
My apologies for this issue. It's a bug we are aware of. It stems from an issue with OS X. Certain Macs that have a third party video driver installed will exhibit this issue. So, it's not just Air Display that causes this problem but other apps like Display Link, AirParrot, etc. will also have this issue. Apple has contacted us regarding the problem and they're looking into it. It's not actually something we or those other third party developers can fix. Apple has to address the issue with OS X. Hopefully they'll fix it soon.

Try an SMC Reset. (System Management Controller)
Shutdown>unplug from power for ten minutes>press and hold in the power button for ten seconds>startup again.
Also try a PRAM Reset. (Parameter RAM)
Shutdown. At the bootup chime, hold down CMD-Option-P-R together, wait for two more chimes, total three, then let go of all keys to finish booting,
If this doesn't do it, run the Hardware Test in Extended

Adobe Acrobat Pro Licence is not working any more

Hi, Adobe Acrobat Pro is not opening any more and giving the error "Licence is not working any more". I have a CS4 on Mac OS X 10.5.8. I tried all the suggestions in the Help Forum. What remains is to install CS4 again. Is there any risk doing that? Or is there any other option. Best, Felix

Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help.

Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help. BTW the same 'Save As' dialog in other applications still allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory.

cor-el,
I kept forgetting and procrastinating about following your instructions, since I have internet access only for limited amounts of time and usually I am busy with important tasks when I am.
Out of the blue, the problem corrected itself (the Save As box started to open full screen, then shrunk down to a normal size and the edges can now be dragged to a custom size).
Even the copy and paste problem in the filenaming area seems to have been less troublesome lately even though there have been no updates to Firefox in a few weeks.
Even though I marked the solution as not helpful, the problem has in fact been resolved. I will save the solution instructions in case the issue returns.

Search in saved preview .pdf files not working any more

When I download a .pdf file from the internet and open it in preview, the search command works ok. When this same file is saved to disk and opened again, search is not working any more. Is this a bug, or my fault. Regards Rolf

Hi,
I hope this helps...
A while back we have more than one browser running on our PC (IE, Firefox, Chrome) and we messed by how Acrobat views documents over the web.
I think that this has some relevance here, as around this time LC also started falling over previewing forms.
Now if we open LC and Acrobat is not running, the "Preview PDF" is not present or accessible. So now we fire up Acrobat before we open a form in LC Designer and the preview tab is there and functioning.
Not much of a workaround; but I am hoping that someone will have a better one!!!
Good luck,
Niall
