IdeaPad B50-70 fingerprint scan not working!

Hello guys,
First of all, excuse my poor English
I have one really annoying problem with the lenovo laptop mentioned in the subject.
I have bought this laptop yesterday and installed fresh windows 7 64bit
Everything was great and smooth, until i tried to activate fingerprint scanner device.
This device is detected by device manager. It was 'unknow device' until i installed this:
Fingerprint Software for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit) - Lenovo B40-70, B50-70, E40-70 Notebook
After that, device manager recognized the bloody thing as Biometric Devices > Validity Sensors (WBF) (PID=0011),
with the following status: This device is working properly.

Ok, now i try to open that 'lenovo fingerprint manager' from my desktop, i enter my windows password, picture of left and right hand and i need to select one finger. When i try to do that, i receive the following error message:
The enrollment could not be completed. Please try again. If the problem continues, please try enrolling a different finger.
And it's impossible to select different finger, because i get the same message every time. And that's where the story ends.

In bios, there is nothing similar to 'fingerprint option'. Under security tab, i can only set user password, admin password or HDD password.

Oh, almost forgot... i updated BIOS from v2.02 to v2.08 (donwloaded from Lenovo website), and yes it's for my B50-70 laptop.
Please help.
Thanks!

  • Simple Pass/ fingerprint scan not working

    I have recently begun to experience trouble with my Simplepass 2012/fingerprint scan and have contacted Hp Customer Services to no avail. I Just want to know if there is a fix to this or is this a really expensive lesson I had to learn?

    Many users seems to be experiencing the same: worked great under iOS 7.0X, now just not scanning. Some 'kinda' fixes: make sure your finger is cold or, plug in the phone to the charger or computer, or place your phone in the fridge for half an hour or so. All the others of rescanning / resetting your iPhone seem to offer no improvement.
    Not exactly what we have come to expect from Apple!
    Other users who have experienced the same issue are saying Apple will swop out your 5s for a new one (indicating this is a hardware issue that is exacerbated under the 7.1 changes to the scanning software). That sounds great in the US or Europe; however, it remains to be confirmed the same will apply in South Africa...

  • HT4623 Fingerprint scan not working after upgrade to IOS7.1?

    Anyone encounter the same?

  • Scan not working after windows 10 upgrade."1510 series not detected"

    upgraded to windows 10 couple of days back. now scan not working, printing fine.tried updating drivers no joy.Hope HP finds  a solution soon.

    Well, it has been a long road on the Win 10 upgrade. At first I got the same error message as above, but after deleting the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 in Win 10 using Control Panel Programs and Features and rebooting, I got into the continual BSOD upon reboot. Here are the steps I took to at least get stable on Windows 10. First, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 using the advanced feature in the BSOD recovery options. Once back in Win 8.1, I deleted the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Then I downloaded the Win 10 update and re-installed it. Once that completed, I updated the Intel Graphics driver under the display adapters (on my G780 it is an Intel HD Graphics 4000, and the driver can be found at  https://downloadcenter.intel.com/). Currently I am running version 10.18.10.4252 for my machine. Then, under the Device Manager, I updated the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver under the Sound, video, and game controllers. That driver is currently at 8.66.4.50 and was automatically downloaded from the web when I requested to update driver.  I also changed several others settings such as Notify to schedule restart after updates are installed instead of automatic (under Settings --> Update & Security --> Advanced Options) and Do you want Windows to download driver software and realistic icons for your devices? --> No, let me choose what to do, never install driver software from Windows Update.  After that, I shut down the machine, waited a moment and booted back up. I have no idea why this helped or if it is overkill, but I am stable and running without a fear of rebooting now. Hope this helps if someone else is having this same issue.

  • Iphone 6 plus fingerprint is not working while charging

    My iphone 6 plus fingerprint scan is not working while charging. Is this normal?
    I tried my iphone 5s and it works just fine even while charging.

    I think I got an answer to my own question
    If you're using generic lightning cable (non-original lighting cable), the fingerprint scan doesn't work while charging.
    I just find it weird as my iphone 5s works even if i'm not using the original lightning cable though.

  • Fingerprint reader not working in IE and saying failed to connect to sensor

    Hi all,
    I bought a Qosmio x500 10t a couple of months back. For the first couple of weeks i had no probs using the fingerprint reader to log in to windows and to log in to websites in Internet exploer.
    All of a sudden it would not work on any website stored. The green banner showed accross the top of site and asked to swipe finger but nothing happened when I swiped. I rebooted and it worked again but not for long before failing. This time a reboot didnt work so i deleted my finger prints and websites and started from scratch. That worked for a couple of attempts before probs started again. And on trying to get into Fingerprint utility it says failure to connect to sensor. So, I did a system restore. It worked for a couple of times again and then same probs. So I found the updated utility software, uninstalled the old and put on the new. Same again, worked for a couple of times then failed.
    I could not find anything stuck in the registry but to be on the safe side i did a full system clean back to factory setup using backup discs. Hey presto i thought it had worked. Everything going ok for first 24hrs and then same problems start to occur. Only this time it is also prompting me to enroll fingerprints even though i already have. And when i try to get into the utilioty it says failed to read sensor again.
    The fingerprint log on to windows always works as long as i dont close the fingerprint utility down before shutting down. If i do exit the utilty i cant reopen it as it just says failed to connect to sensor. And then i have to unistall and reinstall the utility software. Aty the moment it occasionally works on websites stored but most of the time it doesnt do anything.
    Please help. Do I need to send laptop back to Toshiba??

    Hi,
    *I got a solution* for the problem that the fingerprint sensor "suddenly" does not work any more.
    When starting the Toshiba Fingerprint Utility, it says "failed to connect to fingerprint sensor".
    Is it possible that just before it stopped working there was a new firewall installed, or firewall settings had been changed?
    *In my case, the problem was solved by changing my firewall settings* (Windows 7 Firewall Control) to ALLOW all traffic for
    the Authentec Fingerprint Sensor Service (AFSS). It is the file "AtService.exe" in C:\Program files
    The reason is simple:
    The Toshiba Fingerprint utility communicates with the fingerprint sensor service via TCP/IP.
    Therefore, any firewall that blocks traffic on the local computer will block the communication.
    *After changing my firewall settings, fingerprint sensor works* on my R700 flawlessly now.

  • Re: Fingerprint Reader Not Working On Windows 8.1 Pro Startup

    Model: ThinkPad Edge E420
    OS:       Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit
    Problem: Fingerprint reader suddenly stopped working (Image 1). One major change I think which might have lead to this - I had a recent update from Microsoft on 28/Aug/2014 (Image 2). I'm not sure though that this must be the cause of the problem.
    Troubleshooting tried: I tried first to repair through "programs and features" but did not work. Then I tried to uninstall and reinstall the FingerPrint reader software (Latest version available on Lenovo Website for my model). Still did not work. I'm pasting photographs of the error. I've tried to follow all the methods shown on various threads on this forum but nothing worked so far....Even the TouchChip (Fingerprint) patch driver for Windows 7 (64-bit)  which is compatible with Windows 8.1 doens't install. (image 3). Device manager shows error for Biometric devices. (image 4).
    Please help.

    For Windows 8.1 you should not be installing any fingerprint software.  You should uninstall ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software.  The driver you need (for TouchStrip Fingerprint Sensor) will come from Windows Update.  Then you can enroll fingerprints from the PC Settings -> Accounts -> Sign-in Options screen.
    If there is a problem with the device in Device Manager, try removing it and check the option to delete the driver software.  Then reboot, run Windows Update, and a compatible version for your system should be installed.

  • Smart scan not working with Insert Select statements

    We have observed that smart scan is not working with insert select statements but works when select statements are execute alone.
    Can you please help us to explain this behavior?

    There is a specific exadata forum - you would do better to post the question there: Exadata
    I can't give you a definitive answer, but it's possible that this is simply a known limitation similar to the way that "Create table as select" won't run the select statement the same way as the basic select if it involves a distributed query.

  • McAfee Scan not working

    Tried to scan Mac this morning: got message "unknown errors received from scanners".
    So tried McAfee's Virtual Technician (sort of automatic help service) which reported '1.0.0.2 - platform not supported' against Internet Security, Application Protection, Desktop Firewall and Antimalware.
    So then tried to get McAfee's email support, but it doesn't seem to be available to us here (in UK).
    Then tried their 'Live Chat' - got a Live Chat reference number, but no prompt / invitation to actually initiate 'discussion'.
    Is anyone else having McAfee problems and does anyone have any ideas on what else I can try?

    Thank you so much :-)
    I did hesitate for a bit (I'm a Mac newbie!), but finally bit the bullet & uninstalled.
    Then my problems really started !!!  Couldn't re-install (Download from McAfee not working).
    So have spent 3 days trying to get some sense out of McAfee Helpdesk (a misnomer if ever I heard one ........).
    Problem seemed to be that the only link (to them) available to me took me to their Windows dept. They appear to work in complete isolation from their Mac dept: just kept replying that I'd have to contact their Mac people.
    Had just about reached tantrum stage when, this evening, I tried downloading McAfee yet again & - whey-hey !! - this time it worked.
    So its scan is chuntering away in the background, even as I type. I'm none the wiser as to why it went wrong in the first place, nor why it was so difficult to reinstall. But all's well that ends well :-)
    Many thanks

  • Proxies Missing and Full scans not working

    We had some major issues upgrading our Facilis shared storage to 'multi-user write' and in the process we lost all the proxy files/thumbnails for any video that was NOT stored in a archive device in FCSvr.
    Now the Facilis is stabilized - but I am left will 20,000 plus video flies that I need to recreate proxies/thumnails for. Any of the video that was stored on archive devices in FCSvr still has all the proxy files/thumbnails intact.
    So - I think I need to run a full scan on my edit-in-place device that has all the clips with missing proxy files? But this is not working. I keep getting:
    "ERROR: E_INVAL pm_transcoder ..."
    I can add new media to FCSvr with no problem - proxies and thumbnails get generated. But I can not seem to figure out how to make a full scan work. It tries three files - they all immediately fail and the full scan stops.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    In the process of making the changes you made, did any paths change? If the device paths changed at all, you could have trouble if you don't change the device in FCSvr too.
    Also, Did you bring FCSvr down before you started the upgrade? If FCSvr was running and tried to access the device while it was not mounted, specifically if it tried to write to either the shared storage device or the proxy device while it was unavailable to FCSvr, it may have created a "phantom device" in the /Volumes folder. I've had this problem several times. Try this - using Terminal on the FCSvr machine, cd to /Volumes. Does everything look normal there?
