• 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.

• Fingerprint reader no longer work after suspend P70 - W10

  I have a P70 with Windows 10. After I suspend, when I wake up my system, fingerprint reader has stoped working.

  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.

• Fingerprint reader no longer works on dv7 - 7373ca Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

  Hello

  I'm a dv7 - 7373ca and I installed 64-bit Windows from 8.1 to this topic. I can't seem to be able to operate the fingerprint reader. Before I formatted the computer, he had Windows 8 64 bit on it and the fingerprint reader worked perfectly.

  I installed the driver fingerprint sensor fingerprint validity provided here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-109892-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en... (i.e. sp58900)

  It doesn't seem to be a HP SimplePass software available for download in the on the support section of this model for Windows 8.1. So I have downlaoded the more recent for the same model but for Windows 8. (i.e. sp63224)

  Even if HP SimplePass software opens and, in my view, there is a problem with the drivers because the light next to the fingerprint reader does not illuminate and HP SimplePass says he has encountered a problem.

  Could you please help me solve my problem?

  Thank you very much

  Alex

  Well, I'm done. I installed all the other drivers, Windows Update and installed my programs. Everything works perfectly. I don't know what the problem was after my first installation of Windows 8.1. The only thing I did different in the second installation was the order in which I installed everything. Install the fingerprint sensor driver validity above all the rest, it seems to have solved the problem. That's what I would do if someone has the same problem. Install the drivers before the Windows Update.

  Thank you for your time and help,

  Alex

• How Flash the BIOS if you cannot start Windows

  Hello

  I have a BIOS virus which prevents ANY version of any operating system Windows to boot at all.

  (Linux will start and run fine)

  So, to solve this problem, I need re-flashing the BIOS.

  Problem is... HP offers only the BIOS as an executable Windows utility.

  Can someone help me figure out a way to Flash the BIOS WITHOUT Windows?

  THX

  Now, in response to this topic, I discovered a solution...

  HPBIOSFILE.exe - writeromfile /-writehexfile /-writehdrfile

  I hope this helps some of you.

  To use this...

  (1) download the executable file (.exe) for BIOS update for your motherboard

  (2) a copy of the program flashing of Award Bios BACK (Google it, easy to find)

  (3) obtain a downloadable copy of the BACK 6.22 (of Microsoft) and create files to start this one.  (possibly another computer to do this).

  (4) start your computer affected in BACK 6.22

  (a) copy the files in a directory

  "(b) using the bold line above... type the name of your BIOS instead of the HPBIOSFILE.exe file ' and run the command.

  You will find yourself with a ROM file, a BIN file and a header file.

  You can now re-Flash your BIOS on your HP computer outside of a Windows environment.

  ENJOY!

• 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.

  "Where you go, there you are."

  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!

• 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.

• HP Envy dv6 7323 CL: my fingerprint reader does not work

  My fingerprint reader has stopped working.  It is a validity sensors (WBF) (PID = 0018). It worked once I updated to Windows 10 but has stopped now. I opened the Device Manager, the device was hidden, and when I tried to update the drivers of the update of the driver indicates that all the drivers are current, this is checked when I open the 'Détails' tab and go to the section selected user driver installed (). I then checked the "General tab" which had the following message now, "this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45); To resolve this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer. "Then I checked under"location information"that are listed as port #0003. Hub_ #0001. Additinally, verifying the Universal Serial Bus controllers it lists a device with the following message, "unknown USB Device (device descriptor request Failed)."  Under details, I noticed the following: location information is port #0003. Hub_ #0001. The problem code is 0000002B. On the tab "Général" is the message "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) »

• 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.

  Hello

  Uninstall the software and current driver for the fingerprint reader.

  Resources:

  Download and install the latest driver from here.

  Download and install the latest version of the software from here.

• Start your computer by using the fingerprint reader is not working - T450s

  It did not help:
  -From the bios feature works...
  -Ability to select in the application "" connection of fingerprints digital use instead of power ".
  -Update the BIOS
  -Updated FingerPrint Manager Pro
  -The placement of the bios 'Legacy First' or 'Legacy' only

  I am grateful for the support.

  You cannot use the fingerprint reader as a replacement for the power button more.

  The former supplier the Authentec fingerprint readers, was bought by Apple some time ago. As a result, Apple holds the respective patents.
