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.

  • Envy 15 AMD A10 USB ports and fingerprint scanner not working

    Hi
    I've had my HP envy 15 about 2 months now and today all the USB ports as well as the fingerprint scanner stopped working. In the device manager I have 6 entries under the USB headding, all have yellow triangles next to them, all display an error code 19 in the properties.
    I have tried uninstalling the devices in device manager and then performing a hard reset. I've attempted to locate the usb 3.0 host controlers for my laptop, but I've had no joy and I've tried running both the Microsoft and HP update facalities to try and force a driver update but so far nothing.
    Somebody please help because I'm banging my head against the wall at this point.

    Hello, @LeapM 
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you cannot use any USB ports or the fingerprint scanner. That you have error code 19. I will try to assist you with this.
    Here is a Microsoft document that may help you: Error codes in Device Manager in Windows. It will explain what the error code is and provide steps to try and resolve.
    Let me know how this goes for you.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

  • Fingerprint Scanner not working on ThinkPad T440p under Windows 10

    Question 
    The fingerprint reader on my ThinkPad T440p isn't working after updating to Windows 10.
    I looked up my FP reader on the Windows Update Catalog for drivers, and the ones there are the same as what I have installed now under Win 7, over a year old.  They don't have any Win 10 drivers listed in the Catalog.
    Setting up the fingerprint reader is greyed out for me in account settings.  Driver is installed and device is working.  Pin is set. 
    Answer 
    On the screen where the fingerprint button is greyed out, check for a warning/error text at the top in red.
    The message will be similar to:  “Some settings are managed by your organization”.    If this is displayed, try the following:
    You can fix this problem by deleting a registry entry:
    Open Regedit and navigate to here:  
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WinBio\Credential Provider
    find the value "Enabled=0" and delete it.
    Reboot, then try to enroll fingers again.
    This registry entry gets set when you uninstall Lenovo Fingerprint Manager Pro on Windows 7, prior to the upgrade to Windows 10.  
    Additional considerations:
    If you uninstall Lenovo Fingerprint Manager Pro before upgrading to Win10, then you run into the issue that you found with the "Enabled=0" registry which prevents fingerprint enrollment on Win10.
    If you wait to try to uninstall Lenovo Fingerprint Manager Pro after upgrading to Win10, then you get an error message during the uninstallation like “Lenovo Fingerprint Manager Pro is not support on the operating system running” and the software cannot be uninstalled.    Fingerprint will still work on Win10 even if Lenovo Fingerprint Manager Pro stays installed.  This second scenario is being investigated.
    Please see related article for additional information on Fingerprint reader support on ThinkPads for Windows 10

    Since installing window 10 on my G505 laptop I have been having jerky sound. All the drivers say they are up to date. klt

  • 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.

  • Hard drive crashed - webcam & fingerprint scanner not working

    Hello,
    One fine morning my Lenovo 3000 V100 Hard drive crashed. I couldnot retrieve anything but external backups.
    With advise from IBM service center i had to buy new hard drive and new OS.
    I downloaded all drivers and restored almost everything but finger print scanner & webcam not working.
    I was using both quite extensively. I couldn't find Omnipass software to restore my saved logins and could not find Biscam software for webcam.
    The drivers i downloaded from lenovo but not working are:
    Fingerprint driver : 62fi07ww.exe
    Webcam driver : 62ds13ww.exe
    Can you suggest some driver & software to restore these.

  • Envy dv7-7202tx Fingerprint scanner not working

    It was working until this morning. I woke up, turned laptop on, realized the built-in fingerprint scanner on my dv7-7202tx device isn't responding/working (no blinking at the start, it should be) I tried swiping my fingers over it, no response. I researched it online, one of the solution was to uninstall the HP Simple Pass program and the Validity Sensor driver under Biometric Devices and to reinstall both - I downloaded the Validity Driver (sp58900) off the HP website under my product , yet it's still not responding. The only problem here now is the Validity Sensor driver (HP Simple Pass is working fine). I opened Device Manager and scanned for hardware changes, now there's no Biometric Devices (or driver was it) but there is an unknown device under other devices (error code 43). I want the fingerprint scanner working again.
    Note:
    Yes, I did reboot after reinstalling. I even shut it down instead of restarting it.
    I need help! Thanks!
    EDIT: Also, I checked the Biometric Device under Control Panel, and it says Windows did not find any....
    EDIT 2: In the Device Manager, I clicked on Show Hidden Devices, still no Biometric Devices ...

    Hello LouieBot,
    There was an update to the BIOS for this notebook on the 15th of last month.  I'd like for you to begin there.
    Simple Pass is located here amongst all your other drivers.
    Please let me know what happens after you update the BIOS.
    Good luck!

  • HP Pavilion dv6-6135DX Fingerprint Scanner not Working

     1. Product Name and Number
        HP Pavilion DV6-6135DX
     2. Operating System installed (if applicable) 
       Windows 7 64-bit
     3. Error message (if any) 
         Fingerprint scanner shuts down. After an hour or so, the fingerprint scanner shuts down. I've owned this laptop for about 3 months and it has only started recently. Could someone tell me how to keep the fingerprint scanner always on?

    I have the same problem with mine. I called HP support and they made my update bios along with updating the finger print scanner drivers. This seemed to work for a week then it started shutting down again so my problem is still unsolved aswell.

  • Fingerprint scanner not working_Can't re-install fingerprint scanner driver on my dv6-1080el

    Hi all!
    I'm facing a really annoying issue with the fingerprint scanner on my hp dv6-1080el.
    I recently switched to Windows 7 professional 64 bit (3 weeks ago) and installed all the drivers needed (fingerprint scanner included).
    After few days in which the systems was perfectly working, following a windows automatic update -I guess- the fingerprint scanner stop working. Then, I tried to re-install the driver (original one downloaded from hp site: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-75502-3&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&... but every time I do that, I got this error message:
    An error occurred during the installation of assembly
    'policy.8.0.Microsoft.VC80.CRT.type="win32policy",version="8.0.50727.762"publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchiteture="amd64"'.
    Please refer to Help and Support for more information.
    Obviously, before doing that, I uninstalled the device in the "device manager" and then, once the system is rebooted, windows automatically install (successfully) the driver for the biometric device and according to what written in the device status the device is "working properly".
    Actually I cannot even see the fingerprint scanner icon when I log on to the system, so the device is clearly not working.
    Can someone tell me how to solve this issue?
    Thanks in advance to everybody can help me on this!

    Hi @Anni_V 
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a terrific place to find answers.
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    I grasp that you updated your system to Windows 7 professional. All was working well until an automated Windows update was installed and now the fingerprint reader is not working.
    You have tried to reinstalling the original driver but receive an error when trying to uninstall it.
    Would you try deleting the driver and not uninstalling it. 
    There is also a Digital Persona Fingerprint Reader Software(null) ,have you tried deleting/uninstalling and reinstalling it?
    If the issue remains, as it was working until the update was installed you can try a restore or removing that particular update.
    Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7)
    To view the installed updates go to the control panel/programs and features/view installed updates.
    If you believe the updates caused the issue you can
    If the recovery partition is still intact you could try reinstalling the driver from it.  Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7)

  • HP Laserjet 3052 Scanner not working

    So I upgraded to Leopard and everything seems fine except I cannot run the HP Scan software. The printer [art still works but I just cannot scan. I have tried reinstalling the software but it still not working. HP have no new software and drivers for it yet.
    Anyone any ideas?
    Thanks,

    I can confirm what everybody else in this thread has said and add one detail. I bought an HP 3055 all-in-one yesterday and after installing the software, not only wouldn't it scan ("waiting for PC..." forever) but it also wouldn't print, AND another HP printer elsewhere on my network STOPPED working.
    After an hour on the phone with HP support (10 minutes just to register my info), the guy confirmed that there is no 10.5 driver, didn't know when there would be one, and added the following amazing fact. Not only does the software on the CD that comes with the printer/scanner not work with 10.5, it actually BREAKS its printing from Leopard (and similarly the 10.4 or earlier downloadable drivers from hp.com). He claimed that printing from 10.5 works on the 3055 out of the box, but if you are so reckless as to install the software that actually came with the printer, it permanently stops working. (Plus, apparently, stops the printing of other HP devices.)
    He went on to say the only fix was to re-install the Mac OS . However, I can report that after un-installing every piece of HP software on my machine (using their uninstallers, not just deleting), then restarting, the printer now works, and so does the other HP printer on the network. (Scanning still doesn't work.)
    Btw, echoing other complaints on this thread, the reason I bought a new HP scanner was because my old one had stopped working ever since (I think) 10.4, and I finally gave up.

    I've installed Snow Leopard, but now its now letting me scan. It will print documents, but when I click 'scan' it says 'scanner not found'. I thought this update was supposed to make using my printer easier!!! Can anyone tell me how to sort this out? I depend on this scanner to create work and this is frustrating to say the least!

  • HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install

    HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install
    Reinstalling etc does not work - does anyone else have the same problem or a clue as to how to fix this?

    Keith,
    I got a C6280 and the scanner does not work anymore. I am for 6 days in contact with HP. The last printer driver install form the apple web site does not open the image of HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.dmg because of an invalid checksum. The skipping of the validation gives and error in the install.

  • Just upgraded my Cannon MP Navigator App for my multi-purpose printer/scanner not working correctlly

    After upgrading to Yosemite MP Navigator App for my Cannon scanner not working properly, Buttons are not active and do not respond .... it works on my laptop with Mavericks ... I will be reverting back to Mavericks .. I use my Scanner a lot . Apple please fix this problem.

    I have the same problem with a Canon MP530 under Yosemite. I'm not sure why Canon can't get their act together to have updated drivers and software. Very aggravating.
    I can confirm that pmt513's workaround works. That's fine for single pages. But what about batch scanning?
    Here's another partial workaround. The main MP Navigator interface still allows you to do the scanning, both single pages and batches. You just can't save, send, or export those scans. But the temporary files are on your disk in TIF format. If you don't mind taking those and converting them to PDF or JPG (which you can do in Preview), then just look in the following folder to the files:
    ~/Library/Caches/Temporaryitems/MP Navigator 2.2/SCN_MFP
    I have put an alias to it on my desktop so that I can easily access the scans. Be sure to copy the TIF files out before you close (and thus clear) the MP Navigator window as that also clears the files from that cache folder.
    I hope this helps some of you.
