Elitebook 840 G1
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
I've a Elitebook 840 G1 and my fingerprint sensor doesn't work. In device manager, I don't find 'Biometric device' even after installing 'Fingerprint Validity Sensor'.
Note: My Fingerprint sensor is plain, silver colour and not swell like common black fingerprint sensors.

I installed this software 2 days ago from your source by matching my laptop's serial id but not worked. Today I again install the software but it isn't still working. I mentioned that my Fingerprint Sensor isn't common. It is not swell and black, it is silver and plain.

Hi, I though your version does not support fingerprint. Fingerprint not install, so a cover has placed right on fingerprint position
