Welcome to the HP English Community --

 

Your computer might -- or might not - have a fingerprint reader.

 

The feature is OPTIONAL -  that means not every computer comes with the feature installed in the hardware.

 
If your computer does not have a fingerprint reader, the little box is just a same-colored cover plate where the sensor would be located.

Check your Device Manager -

If your computer has a fingerprint reader,

then

There must be a Biometric devices section with a reader listed.

 

Control Panel > icon view > Device Manager

Tab View

Check Show hidden devices

Select Devices by Type

Open Biometric devices

===================================================

Next,

Whether the computer includes the feature can be checked in PartSurfer.

 

Method – Use PartSurfer to check the parts / components in your computer

 

PartSurfer might be able to tell you exactly which parts came with your computer.

 

  • For best results, use the Serial Number for your search
  • Reminder:  Do NOT post private information (including serial number) in the Community

 

 Open PartSurfer

  • Select your Country
  • Search for your computer / printer / device >> See HINT
  • Need Help?  Tab Self help > find and open the User Guide and FAQ

How to use PartSurfer:

  • Select your region / country - PartSurfer must know your general location
  • Enter your device Product Number , Serial Number, or Part Number in the Quick Search box
  • HINT: To see a system-specific list, replace the Product Number with your device Serial Number
  • Items accompanied by a tiny box in the Add-to-Cart column are available for purchase

 

Parts marked as "n/a" (or are missing from the list) are not available from HP.
