Upgrade to scan fingerprint W520

I wonder if it is possible to replace the palmrest standard in my W520 (w/o footprint read, w / CS) to a new palmrest WITH a fingerprint reader and operate properly. This has been done? Is it a simple 'plug and play' operations?

Thank you!

Hello

I replaced the bezel front/palmrest on my W530 (original delivered with the colorimeter and no fingerprint reader) with one that contained a fingerprint reader and a hole for the colorimeter (which I exchanged the original bezel).

Have you checked your W520 machine type model and looked at the hardware maintenance manual to verify that your model has a fingerprint reader connector on it?

If so and it is similar to the W530, it should take you less than an hour gently and carefully remove the front panel, separate cables, hover over the colorimeter to the new scope of equipped with fingerprint reader, and install the 'new' collar in your W520.

Kind regards

    Hello world

    I have a Fujitsu Lifebook U745 with a biometric fingerpint scanner that is the image, use on Windows 7.

    My problem is that when I want to use the scanner to record my fingerprints in order for use to log into Windows, it seems that I have not all the software to use biometric devices in Windows, from in the display to the next screen:

    Hi mate

    To be honest, I doubt that Win 7 drivers would be published for this good old classic.
    I mean the Satellite Pro A30 is an older series and even Vista drivers have not been released for this series of models
    I searched on the European driver Toshiba page but I found only the W2k, Win XP drivers for this device

    So if you want to use Win 7 on this laptop, then you need to collect the drivers of your own hands and it would be the same with the fingerprint reader. Maybe the pilot designed and released for other series would work.

    It seems that Toshiba is in the version of the driver for different series you can take a look at the different series and might try the drivers.

  • Scan fingerprinting - and Tecra M10 notebook computer does not properly

    Hello

    We got a Tecra M10 notebook and its fingerprint reader is not working properly and I tried all kinds of things to make it work but not joy.

    Can I know how can I claim the warranty, and how to contact Toshiba service provider because I can't find the coordinates of the Toshiba warranty service?

    Don

    Hello Don

    Before contacting service install OS using Toshiba Recovery CD/DVDs. With digital fingerprints factory settings scan and preinstalled software should work correctly.

    Otherwise, you can contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and ask for help. They check the functionality. Addresses and phone numbers, you will find under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads > find an ASP.

    Good luck.

    Scenerio 1

    You have HP SimplePass installed - and you didn't say whether or not it does - AND you run (a version of) the original program of the series 6 HP SimplePass (delivered) installed with your computer.  This series of the program may, or may not, to run in your new operating system Windows 10.

    I've read the claims of one of the members who series 6 HP SimplePass, i.e. HP SimplePass probably version 6.0.100.276 - runs in Windows 10.  I can't verify this is the case.

    How?

    Replace the existing driver of validity:

    • Uninstall - do NOT delete the driver from Device Manager
    • Reboot (restart) the computer and connect
    • Make sure your sign Options defined in the laptop settings

    If your series 6 HP SimplePass program does not itself, i.e. the program starts and then berms, the start screen starts / stops / flashes / freezes, then you can try:

    • Hard Reset / forced Reset
    • 'Fix' the program SimplePass (programs and features)
    • Tryoverloading the program, that is, install the program on top of itself without removing the current program from the computer.

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

    There is a new program series 8 HP SimplePass compatible Windows 10 available:

    sp71729 HP SimplePass V8.01.46has 32/64 bit W7 - W10

    How?

    Replace the existing driver of validity:

    • Reboot (restart) the computer and connect

    Download and install the new series 8 HP SimplePass program

    • The package will probably download in your downloads folder > > double click to install

    A strange combination of other factors are not

    In all cases, you want to reinstall your driver validity sensor.

    You can probably use the Driver for Windows 8.1 you already have:

    validity sensor V4.4.234.0 Win8 sp58900 - Win8.1

    Logon Windows native 10

    Even if you do not use HP SimplePass - or if you have never used and don't even have it installed - once you have reinstalled the driver validity sensor, you could check / settings / manage your PC settings > accounts > Sign-in Options

    Native Windows logon can you logged on to the computer with your fingerprint - up to now, it cannot connect to Web Sites.

    HP does not like the answer, but the pilot Valdity of fingerprints HP is not 10 compatible windows and unless they update, you will need to use a work autour... This has been reported in many messages of the forum

    This incompatibility has been confirmed by the support technology windows 10 after many sessions online

    1. download the Lenovo driver pack (Yes, I know that's not HP but it works... it is the Synaptics Windows 10 pilot and Sysnaptics now has Validity Sensor)

    2. go to Device Manager and open your biometric... remove the driver completely from the computer by using the Properties tab

    3 re-boot... If this biometrics again in Device Manager it means that there is another version of the pilot sensor HP validity on the computer... continue to do this uninstall/remove one by one until the biometric device is no longer displayed and you see an icon of material not identified on the menu tree

    4 charge/start the Lenovo driver package

    5 restart the computer

    6. go back to Device Manager and click on the device icon unidentified... go to the update / add a tab driver under the tab properties

    7. the driver package should appear in the laod of my computer... load the driver lenovo... you have now a finger print reader which shows as a Synaptics device

    8 restart the computer... you have now full use of the fingerprint reader in Windows 10 Hello (who will now appear as magically your accounts authentication option... you may need to set a PIN for Bonjour to work... some need some don't... you can do this first before doing the trick with the driver... I think that win 10 wants a PIN in place before allowing access to Hello)

  • Problems to scan fingerprint Xperia Z5 Premium

    Hello

    I had problems with my reader of fingerprints since the second day, I got on the phone, I Googled it and saw that this problem was not only mine, so I just waited for a software update to fix it.

    It's been 7 months and I can't find any new news on that.

    So my question is that it essentially works when he wants too, I have already contacted Sony, but they just sent me the generic response, "Doing a factory reset", which did not help. Now they tell me to do a repair of software, before you waste any more time and data do this shit of generic response, I would like to know if it actually solves the problem for everyone?

    What I did for now all slots 5 fingerprints to save my thumb is used, it helped a lot, but it works still only about 60% of the time.

    Is this by any chance a hardware problem?

    I've been through it all and got exactly the same problem still. You must clean the sensor, just like the light and the cam sensor rear after now in landscape mode, or the front prints seem to be read by the scanner at the same time the thumb is being analyzed.
    This causes the phone does not recognize your impression. It's really frustrating sometimes when it should be quick.

  • Scan fingerprint T400 is non-functional + R & R question

    I expect to hear from someone else with a similar configured T400 who did a fresh install of Win 7 Professional.

    Have you had problems to install and use the fingerprint reader software?

    Have you had problems installing rescue & recovery 4.3?

    I have no luck installing R & R, and the fingerprint reader does not work.

    Moderator Note: subject adjusted line.

    Seriously, I appreciate the detailed responses that everyone has provided to try to help solve my problems. You are all a great resource and contribution to this community.

    1. the question of the fingerprint has been resolved with the help of a hotline to lenovo. After a quick list of my troubleshooting steps, the support agent has ordered a replacement palmrest with a new scanner of fp. Problem solved! More funny thing is - the scanner FP software tutorial still picked up my fingerprints, but he was not one of my prints or establishing a single sign on the session. After a quick exchange FRU - bang, it worked immediately.

    2. the question of R & R no longer exists after the replacement of the fingerprint scanner. I guess that there is a hook in the software requiring the FP scanner is fully functional and it bombed.

    Fixed and fixed.
