T61 Fingerprint not working after Stand-By

#1 Post by hoax32 » Fri Mar 16, 2012 9:44 am

Hi yall!
My T61s Fingerprint doesnt work SOMETIMES when I wake my T61 from standby.
I slide my finger over the reader but nothing happens.....any idea?
I type in my password and after lets say 5 minutes when I switch users, it works again!
Whats up with that?

I haveWindows 7 Home Premium with all drivers and software up 2 date installed on it! :)

Did you find a solution? My T61 w/Win7 is doing the same thing, but only when waking from standby, rest of the time it works fine.
