Sorry to hear that,
Not sure what else can be done it may be a hardware problem with the fingerprint reader. The last step that may correct with that issue is running a system recovery which would reset the computer back to the factory state.
You would need to back up your important data before doing a recovery. Here is a link with instructions on how to do that.

It appears the computer is not recognizing the fingerprint reader. I would still suggest running a recovery if you have backed up all your important information.
If a recovery doesn't help with the problem then it is an issue with the hardware on the computer.

Hello Kornishon,
I understand you are stating after a recent BIOS update the fingerprint reader no longer works, is that correct? I will be happy to help you.
What BIOS version did you upgrade to?
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks
