The Biometric Fingerprint device on my HP Pavilion dv600 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

Thanks for showing your interest in the HP Forums,
I’d like to help.
As I understand the Biometric Fingerprint device isn't being detected on your laptop and here's what I recommend:
Ensure to check your BIOS for biometric support and enable it:
Press the Power button to start the computer, and press the F10 key to open the BIOS setup utility.
Under System Configuration, look for a Biometric Device option; if it exists, enable it.
Press F10 to save this setting and restart the computer.
If a biometric option does not exist in your BIOS, then the fingerprint reader is always enabled.
