• HP Pavilion dv7-4020sa - fingerprint reader not detected

  Hi had this laptop new Nov 2010... HP Pavilion dv7-4020sa product number WR867EA #ABU

  warranty expired dec 2011.

  Until this afternoon everything was fine, but to turn on my laptop an hour ago, the integrated fingerprint reader is no longer detected.

  Also get an unknown usb device with problems appearing in Device Manager...

  Uninstalled the usb device and connected to the Internet via ethernet... but when I reconnect via wifi, usb device reinstall itself... ???

  Attempted to restore backups, repaired and even uninstall and reinstallation of HP Simplepass... all with no impact in this regard... I have still some no activation sensor of joy... .He tells me the fingerprint reader is not connected.

  The laptop is not fallen, bumped or mishandling somehow.

  I am running the latest version of Windows 7 Premium, with all the updates that are installed via the HP Wizard. My security suite is Kaspersky 2012... and I even disabled by attempting a restore of the system... restoration returns with a file that are not accessible, but does not tell me which file?

  I have no virus or malware on my laptop

  Help, please... It's driving me crazy...

  Thank you

  Hey Midsyork,

  Looks like you run Digital Persona SimplePass flavor.

  Two things to try, in order:

  • Hard reset
  • Remove and reinstall the validity sensor driver

  Hard Reset:

  Sometimes, all you need to do is the computer suddenly.  This method works for a variety of connection and "glued" program issues.

  • Disconnect all the external devices first.
  • Remove the AC power and battery
  • Press and hold the power button while in the minus 30 seconds
  • Reinstall the power supply for the first start only * see Note
  • Power on - connect
  • Next time you shut down the system, replace the battery.

  * Note: You can ignore the little battery aside.  If you wish, replace the battery the first time and do it with her.

  Check the software...

  If it still does not work, go ahead.

  • Control Panel > Device Manager > biometric devices > Validity Sensor > uninstall > delete
  • Reboot ...

  Validity Sensor V2.1.0.2

  • Install the validitysensorDriverinstallationpackage: it if called sp*.exe - the package will be most likely located in the downloads folder.  If you have control of "Admin", you can highlight the package and "double-click on ' to install it, otherwise just right-click, select"Run as Administrator"and install.

  This can kick things hard enough to restore the Digital Persona software.  You can hit him harder, but first...

  ======================================================================================

  What about the rest...

  You could consider running a full system scan.  I'm a demon for this.  I like a healthy file system.  It cannot solve the problem, but it will ensure that the issue is not a messed up system files, which CAN cause all sorts of unpleasant and troubled issues.  You do not really have to 'look' like a mother hen during analysis, look at the logs or 'DO' something.  He's going to take care of yourself and try to fix what it can.  The only time where that must involve it is things do not go well...  Is there a doc to help at the end to tell you what does this thing.  It is not harmful and, unless your system is broken, and it's going to die anyway, it will only make things better than they are now.

  scannow SFC

  Analyze and fix the system.  The sfc/scannow command. who will do - it will scan the operating system, looking for corrupted files and inconsistencies; He will replace or repair everything he can.  If it finds corrupted programs or libraries, it will try to correct them.

  • Start menu > all programs > Accessories > right click on guest > select ' run as administrator'
  • In the command prompt window, type (or copy / paste) sfc/scannow , and then press enter.

  (Note the space between sfc and the ' / '.)

  The sfc scan will report its findings and you can look at the results:

  • Open an command prompt (it doesn't have to be as an administrator):
  • Use the command copy to create a copy of file readable by the output:

  %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log copy %userprofile%\desktop\cbs.txt

  If "scannow" does not properly complete, try running:

  SFC /verifyonly

   

  Copy the results to a text file, extract the output file in Notepad and look for errors that could not fix the full scan.

  Help file for the System FIsland Checker command:

  The Windows Vista or Windows 7 System File Checker tool

• Often fingerprint reader stops working after laptop wakes from sleep (Pavilion dv6)

  I am convinced that the fingerprint reader is fine. There must be a problem with the driver may, something inconsistent with a recent update of the Windows 7 software?

  The scenario:

  • Laptop works very well.  I put on standby when I'm done and use the mousepad to wake him up.  LED fingerprint reader blinks, and I can drag my finger to log on.
  • At one point, after a few times to put the laptop to sleep and wake, the fingerprint reader does not.  No flashing.  I slide my finger and the player does not respond at all - is not yet tell me that there was a bad reading.
  • If I login and log back in again, no change. However, if I do a reboot, everything is fine - the fingerprint reader works again.

  I watched over and over again for new drivers and installed.  Nothing seems to affect this scenario.   Unfortunately, this has started to happen about 9 months ago () and because of the sporadic nature of it, I was not attentive enough to know the 'precise' point in time when it started happening.  My instincts tell me that there was some sort of update software/driver along the way which is originally the fingerprint reader not do not work right.  I hope HP continues a relationship with these companies to fingerprint reader and can transmit these questions so that we can do a software update.  But... I don't know if it has been abandoned.  My laptop is still under warranty, but it would be ridiculous to send in just this problem.

  I hope that someone has heard of this on the dv6 and may know a solution.  Thank you!

  My system is a HP dv6-6145dx.  I am running Windows 7, with the latest updates.  The integrated fingerprint reader works on HP Simple pass 2011 v5.1 and Validity Sensor driver 4.3.205.0 version.  When I try to launch the Simple passage interface, it loads the database, but then the application disappears.  I tried to uninstall and reinstall the software, but makes no difference with the issue, I noted.

  "If you keep an open mind, life will give you more opportunities."

  No problem, I am completely I shouldn't bother with Pass Simple version 8.  I advanced and installed version 6.  I did not yet get no joy, so I did a little more digging and found one more late Validity Sensor driver, version 4.3.304 (not noted in the list of update driver for my laptop model).  IT WORKED.  I can now go into hibernation and the fingerprint reader remains functional when the system is out of hibernation.  Previously, it was pretty much guaranteed became disabled.  So... it looks that my problem is now solved.

  

• HP ENVY 17 G0U21AV - is there a way to disable the fingerprint reader?

  I use a HP ENVY 17 G0U21AV 8.1 Windows.

  This model came with a fingerprint reader in the lower left corner of the computer. Although this seems to be a nice feature, it is not one that I plan on using (I use LastPass to my passwords). I keep my Palm on the scanner that will bring to the top of the screen for HP SimplePass accidentally part traffic. This can come from the most inopportune moments, and it can become quite annoying always trying consciously avoid the fingerprint reader.

  Is it possible to disable the fingerprint reader?

  Thank you.

  @DSWJoshua,

  Thanks for posting. You can disable the fingerprint reader. For completeness, I'll give you steps to disable the driver itself and the biometric support, so you should not worry about this later.

  To disable the driver, go to control panel, then Device Manager. Expand biometric devices. Right-click on the sensor of validity and uninstall it.

  To disable biometric support, go to the Control Panel, biometric devices then. Uncheck allow users to log on to Windows using their fingerprints, and then save it.

• ENVY 15-k006tx: does not fingerprint reader

  Recently, I upgraded to win 10 (64-bit) Home from 8.1 to win.

  Since then, he had problems with the fingerprint reader.  I can start the machine by sliding my finger, but after the screensaver login screen, I couldn't. From there, I could use only PIN or password when connect you. In the end I had to disable the fingerprint reader.

  Yetserday I handed my machine to win 10. After that the fingerprint reader does not work on my machine together al. It doesn't show any option for fngerprint anywhere

  Manager of devices will display a yellow mark excalmation on sensors Synaptice FP.

• ENVY 17 t-J100 Leap Fingerprint reader seeing Motion?

  My brother has the motion of non-saut ENVY 17 t-J000. And he has a LED indicator to the left of the sensor fingerprint that lights in white or orange when you drag your finger. Which is really nice to know that it has detected your finger when you think that nothing is happening.

  But I just got the Motion Leap of his laptop computer version, and I don't see any LEDS light up when I slide my finger. The sensor works well though.

  So my question is, can confirm one that this model has or that there is no LED indicator as the motion of non-saut feel LIKE? I don't want to lose time to call HP if this model does not have the LED indicator. But if he does, I need to have the unit repaired or replaced before I get it all together at the top.

  Weird that it is not displayed, here's an imgur link, in case you still want to see

  http://i.imgur.com/SUGm57s.jpg?1

  I've seen non - Leap Motion want and it is similar, as you say. Really weird that it does not work, especially since you said that the fingerprint reader itself works. I hope you have better luck with the replacement!

• HP ENVY 17-j070ca: does not fingerprint reader

  Welcome to the Community Forum of HP.

  I wonder if your system is an upgrade (Windows 8 for Windows 8.1); There is no a SimplePass program listed for the OS Windows 8.1.  Upgrades can be tricky - SimplePass runs very well on a system upgrade, and then - poof!  Not-so-good.  IF your OS is an upgrade, the following may or may not be as useful - however, we invite you to take a look at the following and I hope it helps.

  • The 'official' document HP link is to Page 2 - take a look at this.
  • Jump to the bottom of Page 10 (updated) - follow the procedure in the order of Hard Reset

  Reminder: stay calm: there is a device reset, it will not erase your computer.

  • If no joy, see Page 5: procedure - updated / (install HP SimplePass Re)

• PC laptop Envy 17: Envy 17 laptop PC fingerprint reader works only after the start

  The fingerprint on my Envy 17 reader reads only a fingerprint the first time that I connect once the system is booted (after shutdown or restart). From time to time, it will read once the system is locked, but that is extremely rare. I put the system in place using my MSN account and also configured SimplePass with default settings. SimplePass version is 8.00.57.

  I looked on several other issues in the forum and did not find something like this. Other issues reported when related to player doesn't work do not, for example. I found a few link in some messages describing such tasks that go back to a previous version of SimplePass.

  I don't know if it is related to my problem or not, but I noticed that the drive light sometimes flashes a sequence once the system is running. It seems that when the light flashes, it will not be read. It stops flashing when I placed my finger on the reader. (I think that the typical sequence is 3 flashes, pause, 1 flash. This cycle repeats.) This isn't always for that well, and I have found no correlation between the flashes and the measures taken after the initial logon.

  I made the fingerprint reader driver, rather than later.

  I uninstalled SimplePass (after update to the last with no luck) and the drive works fine now. I use RoboForm for my password management and it supports using the fingerprint so I'm covered there. I guess it should be renamed "SimplyNoPass."

• HP Envy 15-j140na: HP SimplePass fingerprint reader incentive is not to connect

  Hello

  I just bought the HP Envy 15-j140na sound of HP. The laptop is fantastic, but I'm having a problem with the fingerprint reader. The computer comes with the simplepass 8.00.57 already installed the version of the software.

  The problem I have, is that once I implemented the simple passage fingerprint reader, it lead me to analyze my impression when connecting windows and I have to log on normally. I checked all the settings and it should be implemented, however there is no prompt. Just to emphasize that everything works fine. I can't sign in Web sites on IE no problem at all using the fingerprint reader. It can be a little frustrating because it goes against the interest of having a fingerprint reader.

  Any help to operate would be greatly apprecieted,

  Bravo guys.

I also tried to set up the fingerprint with MIcrosoft Hello, but I had no luck because the option of fingerprints show up in the connection options. The text box passes SImple HP appears on the page of connection, but as noted above he returns this authorization failed. Maybe I'm missing a driver that I need to update?

• HP envy: fingerprint reader does not

  the fingerprint reader doesn't work with my

  ENVY of HP TouchSmart m7-j120dx Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR)

  Model #: E8A11UA

  Series No.: [personal information]

  I downloaded the software but still does not

  @mackt123

  The good news: there are 10 HP Windows drivers for your system.  (It is not the case for everyone.)

  If the system has been migrated to Windows 10 (as opposed to the installed computer with W10), while you have installed HP 10 Windows drivers, including the Chipset driver.

  There is an update to the BIOS of your system - which do not install unless you have your computer completely saved, particularly files all critical.  Do not update the BIOS unless / until it's absolutely necessary.  Why hesitate?  BIOS updates may be very beneficial--or they can turn fatal and turn your computer into a large, flat paper weight.

• Fingerprint reader in my laptop HP Envy 15-j063 cl suddenly stopped working

  In my HP Envy 15 laptop fingerprint reader - cl j063 suddenly stopped working after 3 months of good work in Windows 8 operating system.

  I have tried all troubleshooting list Troubleshooting a (Windows 8) fingerprint reader

  but it does not help.

  I have updated the driver from the HP website and also using Recovery Manager, reinstalled SimplePass using Recovery Manager, update the BIOS...

  My first step was was restore system to a previous date (when the fingerprint reader worked correctly). It did not help.

  There is no list of"biometric devices" in Device Manager.

  There is no unknown device in Device Manager.

  Said control panel ' there is not connected to this computer... fingerprint readers '.»

  But it WAS and worked correctly for several months!

  Please help me solve this problem!

  I wonder if it is software problem or hardware problem...

  Hi SergeyPov,

  I see that you are having problems with your fingerprint reader on your laptop. I'd love to help you.

  You mentioned that you also updated the BIOS. After doing that you did that the fingerprint reader is always enabled in the BIOS?

  Another option would be to possibly check the connections related to the fingerprint reader. It may have a bad contact, or it is also possible that the Board is defective. See the link below that can help checking the connection.

• Laptop HP ENVY 15z-j100 CTO: Fingerprint Reader detection (HP ENVY 15z-j100 CTO < ENERGY STAR >)

  Recently I formatted my laptop after returning from Windows 10. Unfortunately, I had to do it through hard-wiping instead of software reset or rollback. Now, I can't get my fingerprint reader to work. I found almost all the drivers for my laptop via this Web site and tool for detection of HP model except for the fingerprint reader and its software (SimplePass), which is weird because I downloaded the installer of the driver on this site once the detection tool has led me to the page. How can I get that back?
