I have a brand new dell precision m6400. It didnt include the finger print reader and over at part people.com i can get two different types of finger print readers.
Dell Precision M6400 Center Control Power Button Cover with FIPS Swipe Module
Dell Precision M6400 Center Control Power Button Cover with Biometric Fingerprint
Now what does FIPS Swipe Module mean?? What are the difference between them?
Just got my Studio 15 today. So far so good. I thought Firefox was not compatible with the finger print reader, so far it's working for me with over 25 passwords already. My only concern so far is the keyboard flex!
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently have ordered an M1330 but I have been looking at some of the user pictures that do not have the finger print reader. Is this because it is not standard on the laptop and do you need to pay extra? (Im talking about the NZ/AUS version [url] theres no option to include or exclude it like the US site).
Also is it possible to upgrade from the LCD to LED in the future, if so how much?
Anyone know if there is a way to completly disable the finger print reader? I checked the bios but i could not find anything about the finger print reader.

My HP ProBook 440 G2, Finger print reader not working when I upgraded form Win 7 Pro to Win 8.1 Pro. In device manager showing that biometric reader is working properly. But actually the finger printer reader is not reading or senseing. It seems like "dummy" part.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy finger print reader doesn't work the way it used to. It only asks for my finger print when logging on to Windows. At all other times it only asks for my windows password which is very annoying. What's wrong -it used to work fine. I reformatted my hdd and downloaded the latest drivers and programs using the system update program. My finger print reader version is 3.3.2.27. I have a T400 with Windows 7 Pro.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI did an upgrade from win vista x32 to win 7 x64 on my Dell Studio 1735. In order to do that upgrade I did change the HDD to a 1 TB and update from 3GB to 4GB ram.
Now I have on item still not working after that upgrade. The integrated biometric (fingerprint reader) refuse to work. Windows 7 x64 did detect that it was an Authentec device, and installed it driver.
But If I installe the software for the reader. It refuse to install and give this as the reason (No driver installed for the reader) I've tried to replace the windows driver with the original Authentec drivers, but windows 7 replace the drivers with it's own.
Any windows 7 drivers out there for my Authentec integrated device ?
I upgraded xp to win 7, like we all are going to have to do, but can't get the finger print reader to work. It does show in devices that there is one on the machine. I downloaded the drivers for Vista but they got me nowhere.

I have installed validity sensor driver on my hp elitebook 8440w.

View 6 Replies View RelatedThe Biometric Fingerprint device on my HP Pavilion dv6 laptop is not working. I get the message:
1. The Fingerprint reader is not detected (during start up prior to logging in).
2. Windows did not find any biometric devices on this computer ( when I checked via Control Panel).
I went into this challenge when I reinstalled my windows 7 o/s after I realised I had some corrupted files and so could not install an HP printer on my computer. Unfortunately I did not have the original restoration file so I had to do reformating and reinstallation of the o/s.
My O/S is Windows 7 ultimate.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWell I use my own laptop as a admin/standard user I use my standard user account mostly. I remember on my v570 when the user access control came up i had the option and i could type the password or use the finger print. so i was wonder if their is away i could set that up on the thinkvantage fingerprint software so that when the use access control comes up when i'm on my standard user account i could swipe my finger that i use for my admin.
View 2 Replies View RelatedOn my T410 i was able to save my username and password to my network so that loggin in was super quick.
Sit, swipe, and surf.
Now on my t440s the finger print reader software only allows you to save your password. So i have to:
1. ctrl-alt-delete
2. type my user name
3. swipe (it would be just as fast to type from there)..
Recently my fingerprint stopped working for power on and Windows login. Fingerprint reader setup utility started to show some strange error followed by empty utility window (see screenshots below).

I have updated all the software using "Lenovo update and drivers" but it did not work (BIOS image also was updated during this process). I doubt that it is hardware fault because I have Linux OS installed as dual boot among with Windows, and no problems there with logging in using fingerprint reader (fingerprint-gui package)...
as the dramtic headline says i just went to log onto my e6500 and placed my finger on the FIPS fingerprint reader and it roasted me !
and it didnt even log me in either , but worst part is it made me recoil a little and the machine fell of my lap and the screen lid took a knock on the floor,
so i now have a cracked screen lid .....
I have to setup a finger printer reader to sign in to windows 8 through finger print authentication.
I have installed the finger print sensor driver version 4.4.234 . Hp simple pass version 6.0.100.276.
I thing All drivers and sample pass software are upto date.
But i am trying from three days. its giving an error
That "it looks like you are having some trouble do you want to try again.
I reset the computer . I installed the windows again. But i am getting the same error.
I am using windows 8.
We currently have many Latitude D830s with the D/Dock stations on lease. When the lease runs out on these, I'd like to get some M6400s.
Are there any similar docking stations available? We currently drive 3 external LCD monitors plus use the lid on each, but 1900x1200 on a 15.4" screen is starting to affect my eyes as I feel the effects of age.
The only docks I've found so far are the port replicators and it looks like you can't use the lid with two monitors. We'd be willing to sacrifice one monitor, but not two. We also don't want to switch to desktops due to frequent travel?
i have a dell precision m6400 but the cable from the finger print reader to the motherboard is missing. were do i get this part? forward me some links so i can find it.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWell with the arrival of my second M6400, this one now detailed in my Sig, the first order of buisness was to drop in two 320 GB 7200 RPM drives and my OEM QX9300 CPU.
So open this baby up I did, and this time I took some shots and will add some comments out the process.
Step One.
Remove the Battery, bottom Base assembly cover, and hard drives.
Step Two.
Remove laptop LED Cover (Bezel) - this requires some care as the power on cable is connected on the underside of the bezel right by the power button.
Also if you have the finger print reader there is a very small ribbon cable that has to be disconnected - carefully, From this exeperiance I suggest placing the bezel at the top of the laptop and after removing the keyboard disconnect the ribbon cable from the main board - it was much easier to reconnect this way, and I dam near broke the small connector on the bezel end.
Step three.
Remove the 4 screws for the keyboard and slide the keyboard upwards toward the screen to disconnect it from the laptop.
Step four.
Flip the laptop over and remove the four m2.5 x 8 mm screws .....
It appears that Dell just removed the option for Intel wireless cards on the M6400... The Dell branded cards are now the only option...

I know this is probably a dumb question but can the Precision M6400 with a QX9300 be overclocked?
