i also have opposite situation,Here I encourter another similar problem:
If I use external power ,then the fingerprint reader works perfect.
But if I unplug the external power,using battery, no matter how clean my fingers are or how many times I've tried , the fingerprint reader just doesn't work correctly. Sometimes it says "Match failed" , sometimes it says "try again" or something else like that . BTW , please forgive me that I don't exactly know what it will display in an English OS ,mine is Chinese
I've already send an E-mail to IBM technical support. Hope they can solve this problem soon.
BTW,my T43 model No. is 26681BH.
Are there anyone think that some T43 (Levono) got problem with harwared (finger reader for example).
I am using T43 2668-4EA, everything is ok, excep finger reader.
If anyone find the exact solution to resolve this problem, please give me.
Thank you very much
