Pavilion dv6500z: fingerprint reader not activated / work

Hello:

I have a HP Pavilion dv6500z (32 - bit laptop) running Windows Vista Home Premium.

I have a handset problem and don't know if they are linked, or separate.

(1) I'm missing an icon on the initial screen you are presented with when Windows comes first to the top, where you choose which account to connect to, before any screen of Login/PW. (see other comments below).

This departure occurring at each "seed" (cold or hot) after running my laptop in safe mode, to analyze a different problem.

(2) my fingeprint scanner does not... I get more no pop-up window if I accidentally slip a finger in the eye of the scanner.

Normally, when I start my computer, I get to choose two icons: one with my name/icon.

My account is a SysAdmin account, not a normal account.  I know what is its icon.

I don't remember what the other one was... I don't think it was a guest since icons (images) choose account

Since when creating a guest account will seem familiar, what was on the screen as the 2nd icon.

I don't remember what is was, but think it was logging in using the fingerprint reader.

Any ideas?

Thanx

DaleBr

This problem seems to be resolved.

Here's what I did.

At first, I just had an icon of my connection to the administrator account.

After recording, I created a guest account.

Once rebooted (hot and cold), my initial login screen had to choose 3 items:

1) administrator account

2) guest account

3) finger slide to unlock a session ... it's the icon that was previously missing for the fingerprint reader.

I went and turned off the guest account.

I have closure for a few minutes and made a cold start.

Icons for both the administrator account and the finger swipe to open a session showed the choice.

This is how it should have been... How it was before the start in safe mode.

  • Pavilion dv6 fingerprint reader has stopped working

    My fingerprint reader has stopped working. I can open the Simple pass identification program but when I click on fingerprints, it indicates 'identity check' with an hourglass on the top of the icon of fingerprints, and no matter how long I wait, that's all that happens. All advice appreciated.

    Hi Mikey,

    Looks like you're running the Digital Persona of SimplePass flavor.

    Two things to consider / try, in order.

    If the reset works, you don't have to reinstall the driver...

    • Hard reset
    • Reinstall the 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.

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

    The pilot, from your Internet site:

    Validity fingerprint sensor Driver sp52354 V2.1.0.2

    • Install the validity sensor Driver installation package: 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.

    I hope this helps!

  • Pavilion dv6: fingerprint reader not working after update to Windows 10

    Hello

    Recently, after the update to Windows 10 fingerprint reader works just on my Pavilion dv6. I tried other methods I found on the forum, and I'm looking for a driver get the fingerprinter reader to work. I tried to download HP SimplePass (which has been removed from my PC by updating the operating system) in the hope he would get my fingerprint reader to work, but no luck.  I also looked in the settings (in Device Manager) for biomeric devices, and I found a driver with an exclamation point, indicating it wouldn't work. So, right now, I need a solution to get my to work on a fingerprint reader.

    HI, I just recently to upgread my laptop operating system from windows 7 to Windows 8.

    You mentioned that you have installed the driver. Did you also install the program SimplePass found on the link below? I saw a version of Windows 8 for the unit, but the version of Windows 7 can work. If the version of Windows 7 does not work, try right-clicking on the SimplePass program and select troubleshoot compatibility mode to see if it gets it to work.

  • Fingerprint reader not working not not after sleep

    So, I've mentioned this problem in a previous post and was directed here http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67245 which is a patch that could solve this. This patch did not work. What happens when my laptop back to sleep or the fingerprint reader does not, it says "waiting...". "the top of the screen instead of the normal scan message and don't answer not, or in some cases when I click on other identifying information, it shows a third account (first is my account, second is the account of the player, and the third is a thing stop sign that says that the fingerprint reader is not attached). When I connect with my normal password and try to go to the fingerprint software, it appears a bit is window that is labeled Digital Footprints Lenovo 2.0 and the message "Please wait...". ».

    Other then returning to sleep the fingerprint reader has been working well. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Edited to add link patch.

    Well, I was still functioning, but I'm not exactly sure how. I'm going on what I've been through so that you guys can get an idea and fix if necessary. To start I spoke to Ms support and I worked with them for a very long period. They tried different drivers installation (other AuthenTec then) and every time we did it he would say "Fingerprint reader is not available" at the opening of the session. They have tried to change the power settings and devices that could wake up from my computer and that had no effect either. I called Lenovo and they basically just told me to download the software that was already on the computer and change the option to have it wake up the computer, which does not exist. They were very helpful.

    What eventualy get it working (and it's been working so far), is to uninstall the driver and software. Then reinstall everything and install the patch link above. The first time I install it, I just double clicked on it and went through the installation process. But you must go to the folder, he settled in (C:\DRIVERS\VISTA\FPIRPON\) and double click on FPIRPOn.reg which will add the fix in the registry. In addition to this I also went into the Device Manager and unchecked the box that allows the computer turn on of the fingerprint reader under properties-> the power management of the device. The last thing I did was make an edition of registry to force reset USB every time that wake from sleep. I found the registry change here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928631/en-us.

    So I'm sure it's the patch that fixed when I installed correctly it because I tried both the thing of power management to prevent of turns off AND editing the registry and it did not work. I also thing that Vista SP1 solves what the registry edit did, but I tried anyway because I was desperate haha. I'll cancel the registry change and thing of management one of power at a time and see if it still works. If it does not continue to work I guess it's a hardware problem and want to call Lenovo to get it repaired.

    Anyone who has this problem I would say that they are trying the patch in the link I posted (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67245) and follow the installation instructions carefully. Good luck!

  • Fingerprint reader has stopped working after update vV1.0.3.49

    I recently downloaded from Toshiba and installed Fingerprint Utility V1.0.3.49 (tc00407400c.exe) and since my fingerprint reader has stopped working.
    The software opens but usually recognizes my fingerprints and can not connect any other way.

    Have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and same result.

    Device Manager says device works ok.

    May I ask what model phone you have and what system do you use?

    Probably, you need to delete stored fingerprints and after restarting again, you should try to register new fingerprints using the software update of fingerprints.

    Have you tried that?

  • on dv6 fingerprint reader has stopped working after installing Norton 2012

    Fingerprint reader has stopped working after installing Norton Internet Security 2012 on both of my notebooks from HP.

    Product name: HP Pavilion dv6

    Operating system: Windows 7 64-bit

    Error message in Device Manager under biometric devices in Device Manager displays an exclamation mark beside validity sensors (WBF) (PID = 0018). The following message is under the general tab: "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) ».

    Driver is present and seems to be up-to-date.

    Appreciate your help.

    I have finally isolated the problem of my software lack of HP dv6 fingerprint reader. I think Norton Removal Tool, available online at www.symentec.com/nrt, was the reason. I am sure this conclusion because the exact same problem occurred after I installed Norton Internet Security 2012 on laptop HP same as my wife. I tried, in vain, to uninstall and reinstall the driver for the biometric fingerprint device provided by Validity Sensors, Inc.

    After spending a day and a half to try to "solve" the problem, I decided to restore my system and go back to the prior agreement of the point of the installation of Norton. Thank you HP to make this process quick and painless. Don't forget that if you installed anything after the restore point, it will have to be reinstalled.

    Fortunately, there's a less intrusive on CD of Norton removal tool. This utility uninstalls an older version of Norton you are requested to restart and then installs the latest NIS. It is a method of removal safer that wide brush offered by the Norton Online link, which wipes everything remotely suspect.

    After reinstalling Norton Internet Security 2012 from the CD, everything works as it should, including the fingerprint reader.

  • No fingerprint reader not connected to my computer

    I have a computer for entertainment DV7T-7000. The old hard drive crashed so I installed a new and put Windows 8 on it. Now, the fingerprint reader won't work. When I try to open my fingerprints, I get the message that the fingerprint reader is not connected. When I check the biometrics in Control Panel it says there is no can be found on this machine. I installed Simplepas from HP and the pilot of validity. How can I fix it?

    I did all the updates of Windows that were in the queue, rebooted and saw that biometrics in the Control Panel indicated the fingerprint reader. But when I tried to run the Windows logon option, it says that there is no software for the reader. I installed Simplepass of Authentec for HP and it showed everything. I have set up my fingerprints and the player works on everything he's supposed to. Sweet!

  • Fingerprint reader no longer works

    I'm a dv7-7250us, which is less than 1 year old.  It came with Win8.  I installed Win 8.1 beta and everything worked well.  When I installed the 8.1 final, I had to reinstall a bunch of my apps.  Once the dust settled, I found that my fingerprint reader no longer works.  No light show.  I reinstalled the driver but no joy there.  I have searched the SimplePass software but can't find it on my computer.  BIOS is F.28.  Prod # is C2H71UA #ABA.  Appreciate any assistance.

    Hi Paubach,

    Try the latest driver touch fingerprint. The version of the driver ID is "5.01.307.26(driver jour 10/05/2016)". " It already exists in the Windows Update server.

    You can get it by the following steps: open Device Manager > biometric devices > Synaptics WBDI (its PID is 0090) > right click, and select "update driver software...". ' > choose 'automatically search for... ". ", then Windows installs the driver 5.01.307.26 for 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.
