HP SimplePass Reader Does not Work after Sleep

I have only had my laptop for a week - the fingerprint reader stopped working 2 days after I bought it. I have tried everything: removing and re-installing various drivers and software, stopping and starting Credentials Manager, unchecking the box that allows the computer to turn the reader off to save power, etc.
I have gotten it to the point where it functions when the computer is logged in, but not after sleep. It works once if you restart the computer, but after waking it from sleep it does not initialize. (no light or anything) However, if you "lock" the desktop from the start menu, the reader will log it in again. (without closing the lid or putting it to sleep)
Simple Pass version 6.0 (latest downloaded from HP.com)
Envy Dv6 7229wm
Windows 8 64-bit
Thanks

Hello hawvi,
I see that you are having problems with the fingerprint reader not working after returning from sleep mode. I would like to help with this issue but I need some information.
Can you provide the full model and product number of the computer? Here is a link that shows how to find that information.
What operating system are you using?
How long have you had the problem?

  • X240 fingerprint reader does not work after standby or lockscreen

    Hello all,
    I have a new X240, and the fingerprint logon no longer works after the computer resumes from standby or from a lockscreen (screen saver). I have checked other solutions here and in other sites, namely:
    1. unchecking the power option of the fp reader in device manager,
    2. and switching the 30-day standby in Lenovo Settings
    Neither of those solutions have worked. I have the latest BIOS and FP driver versions. I made sure the the FP was enabled in BIOS, and I even switched the settings to allow internal FP reader only. Still, the FP will only work when I first power on the laptop, but not after resuming from stand-by. I have checked in Device Manager after manually entering the password, and it says that the FP is working properly.
    I am at a loss, and I want to exhaust every possibility before I call tech suppport. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Fixed.
    I normally use System Update to check for newer versions of Lenovo software. SU didn't catch that there was a new version of FP reader. Just to be sure, I doublechecked on Lenovo's website, and lo and behold, there was a newer version of the FP reader. I had to download it and manually uninstall the previous version. It's fine now. However, I don't understand why Lenovo does this - why does SU not catch updates? It's not the first time that this happens, by the way, nor is it limited to this laptop (I own or have owned a T60, X61, X200, X201, X230, T410, and now the X240). 
    In any event, the FP is working properly now. I hope this helps someone else.

  • Sound does not work after sleep

    I'm really tired of this problem. Have a MBP Retina running the most current OS 10.8.4. Every few days or so when I wake the system (after having lid closed for a while, and Chrome browser running) sound does not come back on. So, if I am using youtube I can't hear anything. Only solution I've found is to restart the computer, which of course I don't want to do with browser tabs open, etc. etc.
    Isn't there a simple solution to this, before Apple finally figures out what causes this glitch?

    Finder
    Close all windows and quit all applications.
    Click "Go" menu in the Finder menubar.
    Select Computer, t hen Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences
    Open "Audio" folder.
    Right click these two files and select "Move to Trash".
    com.apple.audio.DevicesSettings.plist
    com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist
    Close the windows. Restart the computer.

  • FCP does not work after sleep - asking for quartz extreme card

    Hi all,
    Well my 2 x 2.266 Dual Core Intel xeon with 5 gig memory is getting a little long in the tooth and I have started coming up against what I suspect is hardware issues.
    The OSX is 10.5.8
    It has a blackmagic HD card as well as an ESATA rocketraid card.
    I have a sohoraid attached as well as a Drobo (via firewire).
    In the last couple of months I l've had a bunch of issues that I wonder if are at all related.
    Firstly the DVD player app now freezes the whole computer if I try and start it.
    when it first did this I spent forever rebuilding the system for it to only fall over again a month or so later.
    2) In the last couple of weeks, when I wake from sleep the mouse icon is gone and what is in its place is a small area of distorted,broken pixels. Still works as a mouse (the distorted pixels move round like an arrow) and the arrow returns when I tab through to another application. Weird...
    3) In that same time when I have started Final Cut Pro it immediately gives me a warning saying a quartz extreme video vard is required to run application and refuses to open. Restarting computer fixes this but this is a new development.
    4) I ran into an issue at beginning of the year with my soho 5bay raid where it said a drive failed and then couldn't rebuild with a new drive, took it to shop and it blinked into life on their computer. Drive was never broken. Its now back and running as it should, like it always did, but they couldn't see what went wrong.
    These of course could be a unrelated but I somehow suspect not.
    Any first 'go-to's" you would recommend to just try and trouble shoot this?
    THANK YOU!!!!

    Try these in this order:
    1. Set Mac to NEVER SLEEP. No exceptions.
    2. Repair Permissions on all drives.
    3. Trash Preferences for offending apps.
    4. Wipe and re-install fresh OS and apps every 6-18 months.

  • Satellite Pro A200: Card Reader does not work after XP installation

    Hi...
    I have removed Windows Vista from my Satellite Pro A200 in favour of XP Home.
    I'm much happier with the machine now but am unable to get any response from the Card Reader. There's no mention of it in the User's Manual that came with the machine.
    I can't find any reference to it in the Control Panel's Hardware Manager and nothing changes in there when I insert an SD memory card.
    I didn't have cause to try the reader prior to removing Vista, so I don't know if it ever worked... although I imagine that it did.
    Running a search for a driver in the download section didn't have any success and this forum has no direct answers.
    Does anyone have any idea what I need to do to get this to work?
    Popa Mintin.

    Hi
    I dont see any serious reasons why your card reader shouldnt run/function with installed Windows XP.
    What you need is the right driver.
    The Toshiba driver page provides all Win XP drivers and there is also an XP driver for the multi card reader.
    You need a Texas Instruments Flash Media Driver. This is a driver for your Bridge Media Slot.
    This slot lets you insert either a SD card, Memory Stick (Pro) or xD picture card.
    Cheers

  • My camera does not work after I restored the system, how can I use it again?

    My camera does not work after I restored the system, how can I use it again?
    Thank you for your help!

    Did try to restore "as new device" without using the backup after that?
    Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo coes back again?

  • HT1688 My Hot Spot does not work after update to 6.0.1.  Service is with ATT.  Apple says problem is with ATT, ATT says problem is with Apple.  Anyone else having this problem?

    My Hot Spot does not work after update to 6.0.1.  Any suggestions?

    Ok, I had the same issue, my phone is unlocked(iphone 5 with 6.1.3). So I went to the apple store and had it replaced. it worked good for a day and started doing the same thing. When the apple tech replaced my phone, he transfered my screen protector to the new one.
    so I thought it was my sim card, I put in my sisters sim card from a different carrier and it did the same, so then I was like let me take off the screen protector, and that was it.
    so guys, if you have a screen protector on your phone and it's doing "low signal", "No Service", "Searching", "Full bars cycle" then take off the screen protector. so far my phone is working normal.

  • My sound system does not work AFTER installing pc to tv wireless connection

    my sound system does not work after installing hp pc to tv wireles device when I am using lap top for other purposes.

    Hi,
    You don’t install VS2010 on the client PC, then where did the Form Invoice not work? When you run it from another version of VS? Or when you run the application with application.exe?
    Based on your description, one form works well, another form does not. I assume that two forms are in two different projects, then please check the .Net Framework used by the two projects. If they are different, you can use the
    one used by the Form contact for Form Invoice.
    Because this issue is a project issue, I recommend you to consult it on some application forum such as Windows Forms General forum for better support.
    VS General Question forum mainly discusses
    the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as
    WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help
    System and Visual Studio Editor.

  • TX2500Z touchscreen does not work after Windows7 upgrade from HP specific to S/N, etc on laptop.

    My TX2500Z touchscreen does not work after I upgraded to Windows 7. I cannot find any support or drivers, etc. to fix.  I bought Windows 7 directly from HP specific to my P/N and S/N on my TX2500Z.  Any help? Thanks.

    after 2,5 days (spending half a day within the apple shop as well with this problem) i have it all back on track.
    i did a lot of different things: trying to remove and reinstall iPhoto; did a SL installation over the old SL I had on my HD; backing up all the data of course before and reformatting my HD and installing a new clean SL version on it + a new clean version of iLife9 with all the updates and than I migrate with migrate assistant all the data and setting with time machine back onto it, but all this didn't work, because it also migrated the error/bug through time machine with it.
    so at the end i just installed a brand new, clean SL version on my hard drive, than I did the updates and put all my data, photos, docs, movies, mail, bookmarks, music, etc manual back into the system (drag and drop from my external HD, where i had an exact copy of my internal HD) and did all the settings again in all the different programs.
    the only thing i used migrant assistant with time machine for was for the programs. it seems to work now all fine and i even got more free space on my HD, because some of the old stuff i always carried with me but i never used, i didn't take over.
    basically everything is clean now. At least i hope and works fine. touch wood!
