ThinkPad X41 FingerPrint issues [SOLVED]

#1 Post by luca9903 » Wed Jun 24, 2015 2:26 pm

Hi, I have a ThinkPad X41 with Biometric Coprocessor that can't read well fingerprints. I tried installing drivers in compatibility mode but them didn't work, after that I installed fingerprint software for X61 and now it open the tool but when I swipe my finger on the sensor it says bad quality and it fails.

What have I to do? Maybe Have I to change the fp reader? Can anybody help me?

ThankYou in advance, i hope in your answers.

Those readers are notorious for failures.
I wouldn't bother with FPR if I were you.
Go get yourself a nice Grappa and think of a good password instead.

Yes, but I use it only because is faster. Anybody else can help me?

P.S. I use it everyday on my X61 and it doesn't have this issue.
