Ah, I should watch what I type.

 

I will edit the content to reduce chance I am projecting malice.  :generic:

 

I have every confidence that Series 8 will improve -- it is perhaps a matter of time.

It has been a couple of days now, and I've put my laptop to sleep numerous times and even into hibernate mode... and no problems with the fingerprint reader now that I have updated the Validity Sensor drivers.  Looks good!  I consider it completely solved.

 @Sparkles1 I have couple of querries if you could Answer, please.

 

1) Am having dv6-6165TX, (purchased 2011). How do I get windows 7 OS which had come installed with Laptop. (back-up copy which I had made has been corrupted, unforutnately there was only one copy).

 

2) Untill Previous month, I was using Windows 10 Home (Upgraded from Windows 7 Home Premium - came installed with notebook), So I didn't have any driver issues (or may be if it were for few devices, I didn't notice). Recently, due to some issues I had to format my system and installed a fresh copy of Windows 10.

Bluetooth device doesn't work now. Could you please me or provide info if you have any.
