W510 LED dead fingerprint reader?

Hello community!

I just purchased a Lenovo W510 and it's great!  I have a question though.  How many LED lights should light up on the fingerprint scanner fingerprint he?  When I login, the lights to scan fingerprints a LED but only on the left end of the scanner.  Is this normal or do I have a defective LED?  The scanner works perfectly and I was wondering if it is a common question or it is simply normal to have just a light turning on when I need to scan my finger.

Thank you guys

No, he is not dead. For example if you drag a finger that is not your fingerprints on your computer data. It will show a red light on the right right end of the scanner. Try it it's normal.

    HI @vdolcourt,

    Thank you for your query.

    I seized you fingerprint reader was working fine but suddenly stopped.

    You did it all change hardware or software because he worked? You did all your Windows updates?

    You have the last validity sensor driver installed. The HP Support Assistant can help you in this process.  Here is a link for HP Notebook PCs - troubleshooting a (Windows 8) fingerprint reader. The steps should be the same for Windows 10.    Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver?

  • X 1 random behavior of yoga fingerprint reader

    It is the second major problem with my X 1 Yoga. Not only the crash of driver touch screen "all the time" but the fingerprint reader does not about 30% of the time. Not sure what the cause/effect is because it is not consistent. For example, the light above it sometimes and you can unlock the device. Other times it is not and it either works or does not work. The light is so inconsistent that he is willing to unblock. Other times, perhaps from sleep or screen saver after having locked the machine, the only way is via the password.

  • Fingerprint reader does not react anymore while the software seems to work (Thinkpad E530 Windows 10)

    I used logg in via the reader of fingerprints (windows 10) with no problems, now the fingerprint reader does not react anymore when I pull the finger. I managed to remove all the passwords in the password manager (still not sure about it as I don't really understand how all the components work together) hoping that would solve the problem. Not the fingerprint reader software keeps asking me to register a new finger. Everything seems to work fine (I can pick a finger to be registered, type my password windowns) until I asked me to draw the finger on the fingerprint reader: nothing happens! The indicator that shows how the finger was scanned shows nothing at all. Looks like the software works, but the fingerprint reader itself is dead. However, looking into the information system the "TouchStrip Fingerprint Sensor' (WBF mode advanced) seems to work fine.

    Help, please. I don't have any idea how to find out what's not here.

    Thank you very much for the tip! He works in fact :-). Even if it does not seem logical to me, as I never put it in place a front pin - and fingerprint reader work very well even without PIN code. But who cares - the main thing is it works now! So thanks a lot again :-)!

  • W520 light by fingerprint reader

    I just got a new ThinkPad W520 to replace my W510 and notice that I can't turn on with the fingerprint reader. My mark leads W510 is green when I opened the lid and not lit the W520. I can log on to Windows by using the fingerprint on the W520 reader but I have to turn on the power button. I compared the parameters between the two ThinkPads, and they seem to be the same. I have installed all the latest drivers and software for the W520, including the latest version of the BIOS. Any help would be appreciated.

    You must install Thinkvantage Fingerprint Software and go to settings. There you can define market of fingerprints in the safety market.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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?

    Hi @PhilbertSelda,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your problems with the download of the fingerprint software and HP ENVY 15z-j100 CTO Notebook.

  • Fingerprint reader HP HDX16 and two other drivers not detected after an upgrade to Vista Ultimate.

    Hello.

    Recently, I upgraded my HP Windows Vista Home Edition of Windows Vista Ultimate Edition HDX16 model (quite a 'new installation' upgrade.) Since then I've been doing a handful of drivers went unnoticed in the Device Manager. Keep in mind that the unpacking, all devices in the computer worked as it should.

    I downloaded all the drivers on the site of HP drivers, and these drivers are not detected. This led me to the relization that I might have to do a destructive reinstall of my OS, back to Vista Home edition. This would make Vista Ultimate completely a waste. Very restless indeed. I contacted a representitve HP, and he identified my problem: drivers preinstalled on the computer are adapted to the Windows Vista Home delivered pre-installed on my computer. However, he could not help me solve the problem.

    As a last resort, I tried a program called Driver Genius for backing up the computer a friend (who purched the same exact model, with Vista Ultimate pre installed,) drivers. This corrected a lot of the unknown devices, but I'm still left with three unknowns. I'm quite positive that one is the fingerprint reader. He refuses to be detected on start-up, and what is installing digital persona personal.

    Here is the run down on the three unknowns:

    1.

    Manufacturer: unknown

    Location: On bridge PCI standard ISA

    2.

    Manufacturer: unknown

    Location: On the Microsoft ACPI-complaints system

    3.

    Manufacturer: unknown

    Location: Port_ #0001.Hub_ #0005

    I tried to install DigitalPersona.

    I tried to reinstall Digital Persona.

    I tried to repair Digital Persona.

    I tried to perform a clean installation of Digital Persona (uninstall, reboot, reinstall).

    I tried to reinstall Windows Vista Ultimate.

    I tried to get the drivers from the same model of computer (with pre-ultimate isntalled.)

    Identifying them all help to detect / detection / providing information about where to install the drivers would be a great help.

    Thanks in advance if you think you can save me from downgrading back to home.

  • Windows Sign-on does not accept the fingerprint reader

    I have a Lenovo ThinkPad W510 running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.  It comes with the Lenovo Fingerprint Reader software, and I activated it and registered fingerprints.  When I lock the computer, I am able to use the instead of the password fingerprint reader to log on.  Also, when I put the computer into standby mode, I am also able to open a session with the fingerprint reader.  However, when I first turn on the computer, the windows logon screen does not allow me to use the fingerprint reader, but only accepts a password.  No idea what could be wrong?

    The problem is resolved. It was a misunderstanding on my part. By clicking on the "Change user" button, I could see the scanner as a connection option. Once I used once the fingerprint reader, which then became the default user and now presents itself whenever I connect. If I want to return to the use of the password, I can do so using the button 'change user '.

  • 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.

  • X201T fingerprint reader not scan

    Trying to put his fingerprints on my new X201T.  Each test, each finger - same results: green LED light scanner at the beginning, but after scanning my fingerprints, the orange LED blinks 3 times, and reported 'bad quality '.  I used scans of fingerprints on many laptops before - so I don't * think * I do this completely in back or something.

    I installed the new program to fingerprint reader (5.9.3, build 6264) the ThinkVantage System Update utility. Same results.

    Driver Manager shows "coprocessor (WBF advanced mode) digital footprints TouchChip" installed & working properly. He said that the latest drivers are installed.

    A possible problem - I occasionally get an error message saying "USB device not recognized - one of the devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned...". ». Shows Device Manager then an unknown device in the concentrator root (3 ports) USB / generic (6 ports) USB hub.  Is this something related to the fingerprint reader? Am I missing some device driver?

    Thanks for your suggestions...

    EDIT: I forgot to add - Professional Win7 64-bit, as installed Lenovo.

    My new x201T has finally - a working fingerprint reader!  Here's the scoop on getting this problem - the part which had to be replaced was part of the plastic screen, which also contains the fingerprint reader. According to Lenovo, the x200T both the x201T share the same exact part for the bezel of the screen number. But there are in fact two major differences:

    (1) x200T uses an AuthenTek fingerprint reader, x201T uses one of UPEK Inc. They have different connection cables.

    (2) the screen bezel x200T of course SAY 'x 200 Tablet' on this subject - maybe not a big deal, but I don't want the last year my x201T model # clearly on it!

    So now I have a screen bezel x200T & transplanted successfully into my fingerprint reader x201T!  Bravo for the on-site technician who understood all this after only two previous lost 30 miles out at my house. He ended up having to replace a cable additional x201T with the old version of x200T, to make everything work. We also had to install the drivers of different devices, as the fingerprint reader x200T is a manufacturer of completely different from the x201T.

    He also managed to carefully replace the sticker "x 200 tablet" of the new scope with that of my original unit, who said correctly 'x 201 Tablet '.

    Again - it has been a very frustrating experience. I don't understand why Lenovo is not a good new screen bezel with the correct new fingerprint for the x201T reader.  It should not require a creative technician find a way to hack the x200T spare parts to work in the x201T!
