Fingerprint reader seems to have stopped randomly working

Happening from time to time. Where I would try to use the fingerprint reader, and nothing would happen. Now it just doesn't quite work.
I try to open the program to fingerprint reader, but it says "unable to connect to the probe.
Why do you think he has failed to connect to it and how do I get it to connect?

To me it sounds like a hardware issue and I'm afraid single service can help you with this problem.

Only way to be sure if it is a hardware problem is to install the OS by using Toshiba recovery image and see if the problem persists with the factory settings.

  • Satellite L755-11j - cooling fan seems to have stopped working

    Hello

    I have the model Satellite L755-11j and I'm really happy with it, strong, fast and reliable, I have only one problem: my cooling fan seems to have stopped working.

    I don't know if it's a hardware or software (BIOS is set to dynamic switch, and in the power management is set to 'Active') delivers, because I come from Croatia, diagnostic PC is incredibly overpriced here and I can replace the fan on my own.

    I want to just make sure I don't buy new cooling fan and my problem persists. Install speedfan and Toshiba PC health monitor only confirmed what I suspected, my laptop gets hot.

    I bought the external cooling fan to help keep the temperature of my laptop down, but with the coming of the summer that I really want to solve this problem.

    To be honest, it is not easy to help you with this. Is that cooling fan works automatically and there is not a special option where you can control. Only thing you can change is the cooling method option that you can find in the advanced power options > Toshiba power saver.

    Check it please what option is set to on. Of course on this virtual path, it is not easy to tell if the cooling fan is defective or not.
    It works or not? Can you notice hot air flow when you put your hand on the cooling grill placed on the left side of your laptop?

  • Dell XPS 12 Mini DisplayPort seems to have stopped working

    Hello

    My Mini DisplayPort seems to have stopped working. I can connect on the same monitor of the ultrabook even through the USB port. However, because I'm a geek of database I need up to 3 screens. So when I try and connect to my Mini DisplayPort monitor the screen resolution tab in the Control Panel recognizes the display. However, the actual display is empty. Mini DisplayPort has worked well for the last 8 months or so, but stopped working tonight.

    The external monitor is; -Samsung; SyncMaster 941BW/940BW\199BW, SyncMaster Magic CX915BW (Digital)

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Kind regards

  • Adobe Reader seems to have uninstalled and I can not install.

    Hi guys,.

    I tried to open a PDF file yesterday and found that the player (v10) seems to have uninstalled itself (I don't him have not uninstalled since its last update and my flat mate says that it has not hit one of my programs). I downloaded the latest version of your website (v10.1.1) using firefox and found that when I tried to run the Setup file, nothing happens. Manager tasks indicates the running process, but it does not consume any CPU usage. I tried closing all other programs and the same thing happens. I left the laptop for some time see if she would go, but it's not. I am running windows vista.

    Thank you

    You can try the following.

    Remove all traces of drive (and not only the program) of your system using the Windows Installer Cleanup utility. It is no longer supported by Microsoft because it can produce problems with Win 7, but you can always download it from places like

    Then download the installer of the reader of

    and perform a clean installation.

  • Pavilion dv7: wireless adapter seems to have stopped working

    I had no problem with the laptop except yesterday wireless internet starting to detiorate - I thought he could have local internet (distance), but today he gave up altogether. Fortunately, I have with me and plugged ethernet cable from router to the laptop and it works perfectly.

    I also thought that it may have been a significant update of windows that came through yesterday so I reset the syetem of before the update day, but this has not fixed the problem.

    I have had a look in the Device Manager and have not found anything obvious, although my experience is limited

    I will not always have the luxury of a cable connection and would dearly like to have the ability to reuse wireless.

    Can you help me please

  • System Restore won't work, drives available: HP (C :) (Missing)?) Left click on the mouse also stops randomly works, works fine in safe mode.

    My computer is upward, slow-running and my mouse will just randomly stop left click. I can switch the service so click right not left click function, but then cannot do the right click function. I had created a restore point before installing a program called Cain and Abel on my computer and it was just a couple of days.

    When I tried to do a restore, I got a message saying I needed turn the system restore. Then my computer froze so I restarted it and selected "System Recovery" and tried to do a restore to the point that I had created before that Cain has been installed. I got a message saying that the restoration has failed then I restarted mode without failure. When I restarted in safe mode, both left and right click was working again but I got a message saying that something has been altered (I didn't write it down so you do not know what it was). He says to run CHKDSK, which I did and then the computer seemed to work again.

    This is temporary, I lost my left click again and now have swung it for do the right click, left click is supposed to do, but really need to be able to do both types of clicks.

    I go in to the restoration of the system, and it says I need to turn it on. When I go into system properties to turn on, the disc I want to activate to says "HP (C :) (Missing)) ' what this means and how do I do the restore point I have created 2 days ago from work?

  • Windows 7 Ultimate computer seems to have stopped, head HD not seeking chkdsk errors

    Last week, I look at a the news on Youtube.  Turned away from the computer, came back and heard a strange clicking noise.  I listened closer and could hear the hard drive heads look back.  It sounded as if the head arm was moving inside the trays and then swing to the outside several times.

    Click on the reset button and the computer would not start, error says no bootable disk found.  Turned off the computer, went to retrieve another new drive and create a bootable stick from my WHS server.  Come back I would try once more thought, and the started computer.  A ran Chkdsk with the option of scanning and repair bad sectors.  He found a no mistake.  A few days later the computer slowed to almost a complete stop, (non-response) error in the program I was using (Firefox).  A ran chkdsk once more on the C drive and found 24 index who needed compensation, but that it has been.

    It is an i7 2600K cpu @ 3.40 ghz 3.39 Ghz, 16 GB ram, and two 3.5 "HGST (Hitachi/Western Digital) drive 500 GB which is about 5 years old now.

    Even if Chkdsk reports no errors, I always suspect that the drive has failed.  As I looked at the scan of glomeruli that it suspended or 20 seconds in two places.  First to around 1100 groups then back to 14 000 clusters.

    I have a new Seagate drive custom quality company.  The chkdsk seems to mitigate the problems, but I know now that I'm running on a ragged edge and she will soon be a serious failure.

    I suspect it's the same story horror IBM-Hitachi again.  Readers are not mounted tight, there is a lot of space around them.  I don't think overheating is the problem.

    Your contribution is appreciated.

    Hi Donald,.

    Please answer these questions to better understand the issue.

    1. What is Windows 7 connected to Windows Home Server?
    2. Is the computer on the domain or server network?

    You can deal with this problem due to the hardware failure.  Looks like a bad impact on the hard drive. If it is under warranty, save and send it for repair. (If the computer is under warranty, send it - withdrawal of the drive will void the warranty.) If it is not under warranty, reinstall the drive (after saving).

    Make sure you do, save it before he gets defective.

    There are two hard disk problem physical and non-physical. If your hard drive sound like it, its may damage on your hard drive. First of all, you should be do is keep and back up your data and then remove those hard with the new drive. Do not use again this type of hard drive that will cause the problem in the future.
