Hi Guys,

the fingerprint sensor on my Compaq 6910p has stopped working after many months of no trouble at all.....any suggestions?

For billions of years since the outset of time, every single one of your ancestors survived, every single person on your Mum and Dads side, successfully looked after and passed onto you life. What are the chances of that like?

I take it you have tried un-installing and re-installing the drivers?

Working in IT you think I would have thought of that - my mind must be too focussed on 3 o'clock drinks!

Thanks and sorry for being a dumbass!

It may not work, but nothing like an easy victory on a Friday afternoon!
