T430 doesn't resume correctly via fingerprint scanner

Hello, I have a pretty new T430 and occasionally (about 30% of time time) when I try to resume from hiberation or sleep via the fingerprint scanner, it will start to boot, maybe even show the desktop for a brief second, but then stop on a black screen. The cursor is visible and active, the fan and drive are running, but that's it. The only thing I can do is hold down the power button to force a shut down and boot again.
I'm running Windows 8, and I hoped that downloading the new driver from http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS029769 would fix this, but it hasn't. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I posted the same exact issue yesterday, but somehow my post is gone.
I have a T510 and mine constantly does this (every time, never fails). I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers multiple times with no resolution. When I do a fingerprint login, it logs me in, shows the desktop and all active content/windows, and then goes right back to the fingerprint screen.
The only way to get it to "stick" (not go right back to the lock screen) is to quickly click and focus the mouse on some application/area within the desktop, as soon as it's visible for the split second that it's shown.
*NOTE*: Mine happens on login, not just resume. If my screen is locked because of idle and I try to log back in using the fingerprint reader this happens every time.

  • HP Probook 4540s: Fingerprint Scanner Not Working

    Hi,
    Problem: Fingerprint Scanner - Windows log in does not give option to log in via fingerprint scanner. 
    Overview: After installing fingerprint drivers from the HP site and using the HP Protect Tools to successfully enroll fingerprint, I tried logging in via this method but the windows log in screen does not display this option. Device manager correctly identifies and shows the fingerprint sensor - however, the control panel says no biometric devices detected.
    I really need help in sorting out this issue. Details of what steps I took trying to make the scanner work are given below. 
    Specs: 
    1) Probook 4540s
    2) Windows 7 64-bit
    3) i5-3210m, 1Gb Hd 7650m, 4 Gb 1333Mhz, 750Gb 5400rpm, VFS 491 Fingerprint scanner.
    Details of the problem and steps I took to install drivers:
    After a fresh installation of Windows 7, I went to the HP driver site to download the latest drivers for Probook 4540s:
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=5229457&...
    I installed the drivers in roughly this order:
    1)realtek ethernet controller drivers,
    2)audio drivers,
    3) the chipset and USB 3.0 drivers (but not the Intel MEI driver)
    4) Intel video driver: faced an issue such that drivers were not being allowed to install. After disabling switchable graphics in the bios, I was able to get these drivers to install.
    5) AMD video drivers: installed after the intel HD graphics driver - installed but Catalyst Control Center was not being displayed. So I re-enabled switchable graphics in BIOS, re-installed these drivers and CCC was now available.
    6) HP hotkey support
    7) HP universal camera driver
    8) Validity Fingerprint sensor
    9) Synaptics Touchpad driver
    10) Atheros wifi & bluetooth
    11) Jmicron card reader
    After driver installation, I installed the HP Protect Tools. After prompting for a PC reboot - which I did - it asked for setup of security etc.. Part of this pocess was the enrolling of my fingerprints - successful. However, upon log off/ restart of windows, an option to log in with the fingerprint scanner did not appear in the Windows log in screen.
    I opened the Control Panel, and found there was no biometric devices tab, even though device manager showed biometric device and validity sensor (VFS 491). I then proceeded to uninstall HP protect tools and the validity driver for the fingerprint sensor, then made sure these services were running:
    -Credential Manager
    -Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
    -DCOM Server Process Launcher
    -RPC Endpoint Mapper
    -Windows Biometric Service
    -Plug and Play
    Then as suggested in another forum post, I first installed this :http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55109.exe and then the validity drivers from 4540s drivers page, and then HP Protect Tools.
    After reboot HP Protect Tools as before would enroll my fingerprints, but again no prompt at windows login came to log in with fingerprint. However, one change after the installtion of http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55109.exe was that in control panel there is now a tab for biometric devices; however, it says that windows did not find any biometric devices installed. An image is attached showing both the device manager and the control panel!
    Please HP provide a solution. Thanks!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Ok problem solved. I dont know whether it is related to the installation of HP windows 7 Essential System Updates and Intel MEI driver or not - but I did install these.
    What really worked without doubt was this - > install both the fingerprint drivers and then the HP Protect Tools. Once rebooted, open HP Protect tools, then go to administration in the bottom right corner -> Administrative Console ->Increase System security -> tick windows login security and your done. Now you will be able to log in via enrolled fingerprints.

  • WRT54G version 6 - router setup screen via Internet Explorer 7 doesn't display correctly

    Hi,
    I've just set up my WRT54G router.  I'm able to connect to the internet and I'm able to connect directly to the router via IE but the setup screen doesn't display correctly.  I've tried resetting the computer and updating the firmware but it still doesn't display correctly.  Almost all of the text is missing except for the Linksys logo and a few drop down menus.  Any help/suggestions would be great, thanks.

    Hi gang,
    There a number of things that you can do to solve this problem but most of them involve changing the rules that you have already configured in your ZoneAlarm profile. My preferred solution is to:
    -unplug your router from the WAN (why not?)
    -turn off zone alarm
    -access your router's administration page at http://192.168.1.1
    -find the admin page where you can switch admin access from http to https
    --- **save your changes !!**
    -reboot your router
    -plug the WAN cable back into your router
    -turn ZoneAlarm back on
    -access your admin page at https://192.168.1.1 ( note the 's')
    Bob is your sister's brother! Your admin page should work as it is supposed to. Your router and ZoneAlarm should be playing nicely together. You haven't borked your finely tuned zonealarm rules. You were going to bookmark your admin page anyway, and if you want to allow remote administration, you would want to use https anyway. Nothing is broken and you fixed two things.

  • The Fingerprint scanner doesn't work on my HP ProBook 6455b

    Hi,
    See if you can access the notebook in Safe Mode as follows.
    Shut down the notebook. Tap away at f8 as you start the notebook to enter Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode and hit enter. 
    If you can access your Admin account in this mode, click the Start Menu, click All Programs, click Accessories, click System Tools and launch System Restore.  Pick a restore point before the SimplePass update and then proceed with the restore process.  When complete, Windows will reboot as normal.  See if your original password/finger scan now works.
    Hope it works..

  • HP Pavilion dv6 Fingerprint Scanner has stopped working

    Ok, I have been trying to troubleshoot this problem for hours with no avail. I have looked up basically every suggestion out there for fixing the issue and none have worked.
    I can no longer use my fingerprint scanner to log into my laptop like I used to before. When I swipe my finger across the scanner, it doesn't even light up, and the computer regiesters nothing. I thought this was maybe because I had unintentionally uninstalled some of the related software, but I wasn't sure what.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled both HP SimplePass 2012, and the Validity Fingerprint Sensor driver from this url: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&softwareitem=ob-82046-1
    My computer told me that the Validity reinstallation was successful, and I have rebooted my computer. I have even tried a hard reset. However, when I go into Control Panel > Handware and Sound > Biometric Devices, I see Validity Sensors Inc. appear in the list, but it is always listed as "Unavailable." If I go Control Panel > Hardware and Sound and click on "Use your fingerprint with Windows" under Biometric Devices, I get a message saying
    "There are no fingerprint readers available at this time
    There are no fingerprint readers attached to this computer, or all the fingerprint readers are being used by other programs"
    Trying to go through HP SimplePass 2012 was thoroughly unhelpful, I found no menus or information related to fingerprint scanning or using fingerprints to log into Windows or anything.
    I have even went into Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools > Services > Credentials Manager> restart, to restart the Biometrics stuff as well. Nothing.
    So, I'm kind of at the end of my wits with this, and I've got nothing left in the playbook. Can anyone help me out? It would be very much appreciated!
    P.S/EDIT: I'm running a 64 bit Windows 7 on my laptop, if that helps anyone.

    Ok, I did a little more digging and I think I've figured out something.
    It seems like what I uninstalled and reinstalled from my computer was HP SinglePass 2012.
    What I need to be installing is HP SinglePass Identity Protection (2011?)
    Because it seems like these are two completely different things. I was confused as to why screenshots of HP SinglePass Identity Protection didn't look anything like my SinglePass software.
    Is this correct? Are these two programs different, and do I need the Identity Protection software? I'd like to believe HP DIDN'T create two different programs with the exact same name just to confuse me -_-
    Anyway, going to be trying this later today.

  • I Have Two Problems with the Fingerprint Scanner

    Hey guys, I want to slide to unlock my iPhone, but I want to authorize app purchases via fingerprint. But it seems I'm forced to have a passcode turned on in order to have touch ID active for itunes purchases. This means I have to either unlock my phone with a passcode or fingerprint and I don't want to do this? Why can't I have one without the other?
    Second problem, the scanner seesm to be flat out broken on a software level. I can record my fingerprints and use them to unlock the phone, but when making purchases on itunes/app-store it prompts me to enter my password. Yes, I've got the toggle set to active, I've tried using my fingerprint when promted for my password and I've updated to the latest software.
    I'm extremely disappointed that one of the largest companies in the world has sold me an $1100 phone that doesn't work properly. I feel like a beta tester for an unfinished product?

    First, open Terminal in your Utilities folder and paste this into the prompt line:
    sudo update_dyld_shared_cache
    Press RETURN. You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed to the screen. Press RETURN again.
    Next, boot the computer into Safe Mode.
    Next, do the following:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Can't Log in to Windows using the fingerprint scanner.

    Hi,
         I've had my HP ENVY MJ-j120dx Coe i7 (Windows 8.1 64-bit), product number E8A11UA#ABA for about a year now, and I did a full system wipe using the recovery software that was built in.  Before the wipe the fingerprint scanner worked perfectly, however after the wipe the built-in fingerprint scanner no longer works for me to log-in to windows.  The device is listed in the manager and is functioning fine.  I can use it to scan my fingerprint and register it in the Accounts tab of PC settings.  However it does not work to unlock windows.  I don't have the message about fingerprint sign-in has been disabled or anything.  And I can use it with HP Simple Pass and it works fine, the light to the left of the scanner lights up.  But when I try to sign-in to windows it doesn't light up at all or register that I'm swiping my finger acrossed it.   Any suggestions to a solution?

    Load the default settings in the BIOS, shut down the notebook and then restart it and go back into the BIOS to ensure that the Biometric sensor (fingerprint scanner) has been ebabled.

  • Lenovo B570 Fingerprint scanner not responding/is gone and other issues

    Hi,
    I've been having some issues lately with my laptop. It comes with a fingerprint scanner, but as of yesterday is stopped working. Normally I can login by swiping my finger, but now it doesn't even show up. It usually has 3 users slots on the login screen. Mine, my sisters, and another slot for the fingerprint scanner. Now that third one doesn't even show up. My fingerprint scanner isn't reading anything at all, nor is it even showing up in many places. I have no idea what could have caused this. Any help?
    I'm running Windows 7 64bit on my Lenovo B570. 
    I'm not sure if it's related, but when I went to check my drivers to see if it was a driver issue, I found that a bunch of hardware was not working due to driver issues. They wouldn't let me update, giving me a Code 31 error, saying that the file could not be found. The ones that aren't working are listed below.
    Microsoft 6to4 Adapter
    Microsoft ISATAP Adapter
    Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface
    WAN Miniport (IKEv2)

  • Mountain lion download doesn't resume from where it left after an error occur

    I'm trying to download mountain lion but the download doesn't resume from where it stopped when I encounter a drop in my Internet connection/get disconnected. Also I face that after this sequence of events: Internet error occur > surprisingly download resume from where it left > pause the download > resume the download after a few hours. My questions are: how can I solve this issue ? Does the downloaded file/app get corrupted when the download encounters an error which is actually making it restart the whole download? It's really frustrating, I've been downloading for the last couple of days and the downloads restarts even after downloading over one gigabyte. P.s: my Mac meets with the hardware and software requirements for downloading mountain lion.

    Does the downloaded file/app get corrupted
    A slow internet connection for huge files like Mountain LIon (4.34 GB), can time out before the file is completely downloaded.
    Try this...  from the App Store menu bar top of your screen click Store > Check for Unfinished Downloads.
    Something to keep in mind if you need to repair the startup disk or reinstall OS X.
    "Reinstalling OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion via OS X Recovery requires broadband access to the Internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the Internet from Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation."
    From here >   OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
    So if it's possible, contact your ISP to see if you can upgrade to a faster connection.

  • Why won't Firefox 4 allow me to use my fingerprint scanner on my laptop?

    I have an HP laptop with a built in fingerprint scanner. With previous versions of Firefox I was able to use that to log on to websites that require a username and password. However, I just downloaded Firefox 4 today and this new version will not allow me to use the fingerprint scanner. Can this be fixed?

    Hello Tdp86,
    It sounds like you are having an intermittent issue where you are unable to access your movies, and you cannot play them at all. I want to recommend starting by signing out of the iTunes store in settings:
    From the main Apple TV menu, choose Settings > iTunes Store.
    From: How to rent a movie from the iTunes Store on Apple TV
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1498
    Then restart the Apple TV:
    Restart your Apple TV by selecting Settings > General > Restart.
    From: Apple TV: How to restart your Apple TV 
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3180
    Then test the issue again and see if it works correctly, and consistently.

  • Thinkpad T61 fingerprint scanner not working..

    I downloaded  drivers for fingerprint scanner ,Am using win 7(32 bit)Its option is available in bios security settings..
    but when i enter to operating system and software starts ,I swipe my finger to enroll fingerprint it doesn't work..it says bad quality etc.it shows 0% when i swipe my finger.does any one have suggestions?

    I've found it works quite well, but you do have to align your finger in the same position each swipe. What I do is register the same fingers multiple times but from different angles that way it will recognise the finger from different angles. If you can't even get the registration to complete, then you could have a problem. Try swiping slowly and carefully the same way and make sure your finger firmly contacts the clear part of the scanner for the whole swipe. It's easy to skim over it and not make contact since the sensor is recessed in the palmrest.
    If it still doesn't work I'd recommend trying a known good sensor. I have some I could send you, but you'd probably be better getting one in your area, but if you can't find one let me know and I'll see about sending you one.

  • HP Pavilion dm4 3050us Entertainment Notebook Fingerprint scanner

    Alright, so I just got my HP Pavilion dm4 3050us (Running Windows 7-Home Premium) a few days ago, and ever since I've been trying to figure out this fingerprint scanner. I just CANNOT figure out how to work it, or even open/start/launch it at all. It's like my notebook doesn't even know that it was freaking built into the dang thing. I've opened the biometric devices section of the Hadrware and Sound section of the control pannel, and it comes up saying "Windows did not find any biometric devices on this computer. You might need to attach your device or install device drivers." I also tried opening the device manager and there wasn't even a section specified to biometric devices. I've updated the BIOS to the 2012-02-17, version F.08, 4.75M, and I installed the device driver for the fingerprint scanner that is compatible with my notebook (AuthenTec Fingerprint Sensor Driver, 2011-10-28, Version 3.2.1.10, 6.83M). I just don't get how my notebook can't detect something that is freaking BUILT INTO it . . . I have no clue what else to do.

  • Fingerprint scanner screwed up

    OK, so I'm new to this. First off, I'm not a computer expert, and do not even know what a "driver" is. I just don't understand how I bought this laptop in part because of the fingerprint scanner, and now I can't use it unless I'm turning the computer on from off. It doesn't work when I'm turning the computer back on from sleep mode. I've browsed these forums and all I'm reading about is a bunch of extra stuff to download. I just want to change a setting so it will work properly. Please help! I bought this laptop expecting to be able to scan in easily, without having to type my password in. I expected that it would work when I bought it, without the need to download a bunch of additional things. How do I make my laptop work as originally advertised? I repeat, I'm not a computer expert. I don't know how to get to "device manager" or many other things I see on these forums. I just need an easy, step-by-step solution to make the scanner work even when I open my computer back up from sleep. Please help this disgruntled customer!!!!!!!!

    Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
    You did not provide your new notebook's precise Product Name .
    Commentary
    I would guess you are running the latest Series 8 HP SimplePass program -- the version with which I am only a bit familiar, and not at all enthusiastic.  The lack of enthusiasm is a personal issue, alas, and based entirely on my opinons. 
    Series 8 does not always respond to fixes in the same way as does its older counterpart, the robust and sturdy Series 6 HP SimplePass by AuthenTec.    Should that be the case in this instance, you have my apologies and sympathy.
    Regardless of Series, the following may help with the "cannot wake from sleep" issue:

  • X205 Win7 Pro Can't see fingerprint scanner

    I'm using my X205 with one HDU on vista (ICK, but ok for now till I buy 64 bit win 7) and one on WIN7 Pro 32 bit.  The vista side sees and uses the finger scanner o.k., but the WIN7 side (although the driver appears there) doesn't see the fingerprint scanner.  Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Ask on the PS forum. Yes, it has in part to do with 32bit vs. 64bit, but just as much as your vendor's driver compatibility on a more generic level.

  • My USB ports and fingerprint scanner no longer work...

    This problems requires a bit of exposition and I'm bad with computers so bare with me. A few months I noticed my USBs were not working on my computer, So I tested the same USBs on another computer and they all worked so I knew something was wrong with my computer. I decided to try some "solutions" online and only made the problem worse.Before my computer would at least recognise that there was a USB and try to do something with it, only to fail miserably. If I remember correctly it would say something like "failed to install device drivers".Ever since I tried those "solutions" all it does now is make a noise when i plug in a USB. Oh and my fingerprint scanner no longer works. I remember messing around in the Device manager and messing around with things. Here is what I noticed. under the USB controllers tab there is a list that looks like this Universal Serial Bus Controllers  HP Webcam  Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controllers  Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controllers  Unknown Device  Unknown Device  Unknown Device  Unknown Device I'm certain I've done something horribly wrong...My question to you is...1. How can I fix this?2. in the event that I am unable to fix this, is it possible that restoring the computer to factory settings would do the trick?

    Hello 15lrobin  It would be more helpful if you tell us what computer model number you have and what the operating system is, so that the info we give can be more precise.

Maybe you are looking for
