Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
Correction - Adjust content for fingerprint reader
The service manual lists the fingerprint reader as an optional feature.
- Check your purchase records for the feature having been included.
- Try using PartSurfer and your Serial number.
If the system does not detect the hardware, that component will not be listed in the Device Manager.
Item 3 - Page 12
The cover insert looks similar to the fingerprint reader sensor.
What if?
Fingerprint sensors rarely fail -- like other components, they might do so.
