Qosmio F50: Fingerprint Reader disconnect by pressing on the area between the touchpad & SPACEBAR
Hello!
I got my Qosmio one a week ago and I'm quite happy with it, except a little problem.
I noticed that while typing or playing a game, I would get random "device" / "device disconnected" sound of windows.
Keeping the open Device Manager, I discovered it was the fingerprint reader.
After a little research (and some luck), I noticed that if I press the area between the touchpad and the SPACEBAR just enough to drop the case, the fingerprint reader would disconnect momentarily.
Anyone else having the same problem?
I think it was a good decision that you have replaced the unit because based on your description this issue looked like a hardware problem.
Welcome them

Fingerprint reader does not work after the laptop awakens from his sleep.
Pavilion DV6-6c15nr
Windows 7 Home Premium
Fingerprint reader works fine when the computer starts. The drive works fine if I manually lock the system. When the computer enters mode "sleep" through inactivity, then wakes up from his sleep, the fingerprint reader does not work. The player power led does not illuminate, the player does nothing if I drag a registered fingerprint. I must select use authentication information and enter the Windows password. Device Manager says device working properly but it doesn't help. I checked for BIOS, Windows and driver updates but I run in all aspects.

Reset the fingerprint reader after you remove all the prints/pw does not
Yes Im a fool, but is anyone know how to reset the reader of fingerprints for U200-115. I deleted my fingerprints after reviewing the password but now can't get to do something that the password does not work. I was informed that a BIOS password reset is the only way (i.e., a visit to the people service Tosh).
Does anyone know a work around?
Unfortunately there is no work around. The BIOS password can be removed by only authorized service provider. I really don't understand why the password still exists but ASP is your last chance.
The closest contact with ASP and they will do it for you. If you need addresses and phone numbers please visit http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads > find an ASP.
Good bye

DV7-4073nr - fingerprint reader does not work after the upgrade to HP Support Assistant
Hello
I have a problem right now. The HP support assistant suggested that I had to upgrade the software of fingerprints to be upgraded and I did it without delay. Restart, the drive does not work. Windows 7 says it's a bad data. no password HP does. What should I do?
Turn the computer off, and then once you turn on, keep the F8 key several times to load the "Windows Advanced startup options" screen. In this screen either select mode safety/Safe mode with networking and log in to your user account by entering the password manually.
Once that is done, do a restore of the system through the control panel and restore your computer to an earlier date, whenever it was working fine. Once the restore process is done, change the settings for HP Support Assistant auto do not install updates

Re: Qosmio F50 and Vista 64-bit - touchscreen and fingerprints do not work
Good day everyone,
I just installed Vista 64-bit on Qosmio F50 (reinstalled vista 32-bit) I downloaded the driver from the Web from Toshiba site but who have still two functions does not!
The first is the touch panel works do not at all and the second finger printing system...
Can someone help me solve...Concerning
It is not easy to say what the problem is here, but I assume that you forgot to install something or you have installed something in the order of poor facilities. If you need the right one let us know.
I can see on Toshiba download page fingerprint software and touchpad drivers are available. If touchpad doesn t work not at all may be turned off. Check with the FN + F9 key combination.What touchpad driver, you have installed?
Software fingerprint AuthenTec is installed too? can you start and save your fingerprint? -
Re: Qosmio F50 - 12W - front buttons have stopped working
Hi, I am the F50 - 12W. It is under Vista Home Premium.
First thing I did was to go through the list of services and the vista settings, turn off everything I don't don't need or use. Worked a treat. But...
Only problem now is that I managed to stop the operation of the front buttons. They do the beep when you press on and do the thing of glow wee to show that they responded.
But nothing is really happening.Anyone know what I could have done?
Thank you.
Hello
Really interesting, I had the same problem a few days ago on my Qosmio F50 I tried many things and at the end of the story, I had to reinstall Windows because an application or a Windows Update wasn't compatible with the software that controls the light buttons you want to say
In any case, I think in your case it of the same. After you have disabled/deleted some stuff and installed the updates/applications, only the buttons don't work anymore.
First of all I have to say it is important that you disable t n programs all services of Toshiba or startup in msconfig. This can affect the illumination function buttons and FN keys so check cela and allow all the stuff from Toshiba.
If it doesn't work after that you should try to reinstall the package of value added. This package contains the software and drivers of these keys. You must follow my workaround solution:
1. download the latest PPV for your F50 on the Toshiba site
2. go in Control Panel > Add/Remove programs. Find the Toshiba value added package and remove it
3. restart the laptop
4. download and install CCleaner. This cool cleans up the registry of Windows and system files. He should find some registry keys of Toshiba you should remove with CCleaner.
5 reboot the laptop
6. install the PPV that you already downloaded
7 restart once againYou are lucky is it support buttons work and if not you should look into the Toshiba. Here, you can assign different application for the multimedia keys. For example switch illumination, you must allocate the dimmer.exe. That you should find in the Toshiba folder (C:\program Toshiba).
Check it!In the worst cases, you need to reinstall Windows using the Toshiba recovery disc or HARD drive recovery option. :(

Want to fire green W701 fingerprint reader when the laptop is turned off
I realize the amount of electricity it uses is trivial, but unfortunately the accusation that carries the battery isn't much else. For the most part it's just because I don't have a use for the fingerprint reader. I completely uninstalled the software from the control panel. I thought that would get the light, but the "light on" survived the uninstaller not so complete.
I hope that there is a way to do it in the bios. If necessary I could re-download the software of fingerprint and do a from there, if possible.
It is possible to do anyway, please let me know. It's a minor thing, but I'm pretty annoyed that I'd make a sort.
When you turn on the computer (off-state), press F1 when you see the Lenovo logo (until the BONES start to load). "I think that you should find the fingerprints under security settings). It shouldn't be too hard to find.
Edit: Looks like that I don't remember it correctly. In the BIOS, you have the option to completely disable the fingerprint reader, but you do not have the option to turn off the green light only without disabling the fingerprint reader. If you want to disable the fingerprint reader completely turn off the computer, then turn on and press F1 when you see the Thinkpad logo (prior to the OS). When you enter BIOS click protection on the menu, and then select access to the Port of IO. In this list, you should have the ability to disable the fingerprint reader that I am sure that will also disable the go-ahead since the sensor is no longer in use. Press F10 to save and exit from BIOS.
To remove the green light only, or disable the option to turn on your computer by sliding the finger without completely disabling the fingerprint reader, in my view, you must reinstall the fingerprint reader software. Then, you must open the application after installation and type your password or by the finger scan enter enter parameters. Then click the settings button in the toolbar and you should have several tabs where you can turn off the green light or disable the use of fingerprint predesktop authentication.

Digital Persona fingerprint reader
I have a HDX 18 t. It came with windows vista x 64 and I have upgraded to windows 7 x 64. After the upgrade the integrated digital persona fingerprint reader is no longer in effect. The fingerprint reader is not detected. I tried to uninstall, reinstall and update the drivers. Currently, I have the latest version of the software for the installed fingerprint (4.11.3826) reader. The icon for the fingerprint reader has 'x' on it which indicates that the drive is not detected.
I've already sent to the post:
I followed the instructions for part A on install fingerprint driver digital validity and the DigitalPersona Personal software. However, after my computer restarted, a message appeared and said: "the fingerprint reader could not be detected. Reinstall it using the recovery of applications and drivers disk provided with your system. »
Previously, I tried unistalling digital persona completely and reinstall it from the driver and application recovery disk. However, this does not work any more.
I think the recovery disk does not work because it was made for windows vista. The only way (at least AFAIK), I was able to successfully use this disc would be to reinstall vista and then reinstall the driver and application recovery disk. However I would no longer have windows 7 which I've already paid for.
I also tried to contact Digital Persona about the issue online, I had no great success however.
If someone can tell me at least who can help me, I would be very happy. I tried several different solutions many times, and it becomes frustrating. I just want to use the fingerprint reader that's installed in my computer. I want to keep windows 7, so I won't downgrade for the fingerprint reader. This problem persisted for several months now and I want to be treated.
I have enough confidence in my computer skills to be able to follow the instructions given for me online, but I am not above having a technician help me. So if it's necessary I would force quickly. The only thing I want to avoid shipping my computer anywhere since I use everyday to school.
I apologize for the length of the post. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
After many days a lot of work, I finally found the solution for VFS301 of a validity sensor works with Digital Persona on Win 7 64 bit because it is supposed to.
NOT the drivers INSTALL WBF all sites or drivermax... These drivers allow only logging in Win7 and no website, sign in.
(1) first of all UNINSTALL all software and the DDK (Driver validity)...
Make sure that also go to the control panel =>-online Validity Sensor Device Manager
UNINSTALL the sensor and check "erase the software driver for this device.
(2) then make sure you REBOOT
(3) DOWNLOAD and install validity of HP drivers
FTP://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp48501-49000/sp48509.exe
(4) REBOOT AGAIN... it is important
(5) Download Digital Persona worm 4.11.3805 the link below
http://d11tvxmfjhi64o.CloudFront.net/x64/Setup.exe
(This file is taken from)
(6) RUN the Setup.exe
When it asks to install the driver for the fingerprint reader (the first dialog box you get when you run setup.exe)
DO NOT click on INSTALL
Let the installation window because it is...
(7) open the Explorer windows by pressing win + E
8) go to
\AppData\Local\Temp\usernameC:\Users\
Click the "Update" column to sort the latest updated files first in the list
You will have a folder with {05B54AFA-28C6-4FED-A0E6-3F235641DA1D}<============= example="" only="" it="" will="" be="" different="" on="" your="">=============>
Go to the folder and you will see some ini files with a file named 'drivers.prq fingerprint reader.
Open "fingerprint reader drivers.prq" in notepad.exe
Delete all lines of text in the file 'fingerprint reader drivers.prq' and save the empty file.
(9) back to the Digital Persona installation dialog box referred to in point 6
Now, click on INSTALL and let it install the software
He will open the same file again and continue with the installation...
When it asks to RESTART, click YES
(10) after the REBOOT, the fingerprint reader works without a hitch.

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?

Satellite M300 - fingerprint reader will not let me
Hi guys,.
I have a M300 laptop series, with the fingerprint reader.
I got the scanner working when I got the laptop (3 days ago). But on the tutorial, it keps saying: "too short". Anyway, I finally scanned in a finger, and it seemed to work OK. It would take me 5, 6 attempts, but then it would connect.
Then I reinstalled the OS, ranging from Home Premium, Vista Ultimate. After installing the software the fingerprint scanner, it remind my finger somehow! I never "registered" it. In addition, it was scanning first time, every time. Well, maybe 8 to 10 times. It worked well, but then all of a sudden today, I tried to connect, and it says 'No Match'.
It is possible that there may be dust on the sensor, so the initial scans were not good... and now the dust has gone? It's the only thing I can think of.
So, my question: is there a way to reset my fingerprint and re-register them? To access settings, you must analyze your finger! :(
There is no way I can get the settings through my password typed in? How can I reset my fingerprints?The fingerprints are stored in hardware, so when you reinstall Windows, the fingerprint will still be there.
Try to clean your finger and when you drag, don't push too hard.
