T420 - fingerprint reader does not read the skin dry or wet

I used the fingerprint reader of my old T61p for years with great success. It didn't matter that my skin is dry or wet, or even if my fingers are a little fat - identification has worked well.

Now with my T420, I noticed that the fingerprint reader detects my fingerprint only, if the skin on my finger is 'normal', i.e. it does not detect the reading if my fingers are wet or dry. When my fingers are dry, I must always first lick my finger and then wide, this helps.

It's very annoying feature - is possible to configure the fingerprint reader to be a little less sensitive to the dryness of the finger skin?

Go to the Lenovo Fingerprint Reader software and look for a slider between Dresser and protected. This move to Dresser; It should contribute to the sensitivity.

  • The Digital Persona does not detect the fingerprint reader in Windows 7

    I have upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 Pro (full installation). Now, DigitalPersona does not detect the fingerprint reader. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the driver and the program, does not. Any ideas?

    Hi Cankermechanic,

    I suggest that you try to update the drivers supplied by Device Manager and check.

    See the link for update drivers: update a hardware driver that is not working properly: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work properly

    If the problem persists, I would recommend that you uninstall drivers and reinstall the drivers from the site Web of Digital Persona, if that is helpful.

    If the problem persists, I suggest that visit you the manufacturer for further assistance from the link below:
    http://www.askpersona.com/

    I also recommend that you contact the manufacturer of the computer for further assistance on this issue.

    Thank you, and in what concerns:

    The card reader does not recognize the cards.  It does not have a drive location (example: f drive).   This makes it impossible to veiw the files or photos on any (I tried six different) of my SanDisk SD cards.  I can't find anywhere to downlod corrected card rhe read updates update drivers or BIOS for my system.   I just bought this computer 1 week ago and do not understand why I read in the forums about driver issues of card reader for the last year.  Windows 8.1 has been out for some time.  Why HP would sell these computers without updating the software to make them work as they should?

    Thanks for the info.  Disk management does not show the drive.  The problem was resolved after reloading BIOS, as suggested in another post.

    Hello

    I see nothing unusual, except that there should be a "0001", or even "0002"...

    When you have made the registry change, you used the command line (Admin)?... the process may not work with the regular command prompt...

    Also, try to go to Device Manager, right click on your DVD drive, click on uninstall and restart.
