I currently have an HP Pavilion dv7 laptop that has a very unreliable fingerprint reader built-in. Will this reader work instead of the built-in one?

yes but with the same non-reliability. I have found toshiba has the only accurate one. I have previously had an HP with the same problem and HP [due to under warrenty] came to the house evaluated it and said it wasn't worth it to HP for the amount of work it would take to

Once the reader is properly setup (I am not sure how exactly the proper setup is done), reading part works like a charm. Tricky part is the installation. You MUST follow the steps (DO NOT ATTACH the device to your machine before the driver and finger print management application) or you could get your reader NOT recognized by the OS. I used the driver download link from http://www.zvetcobiometrics.com/Products/P2000/overview.php.

I see no reason why not. I would assume Windows will allow you to choose which fingerprint reader to use. At the very worst case, you could disable the on-board fingerprint reader in device manager (and probably should also uninstall any fingerprint manager software from HP as well to play safe) so Windows only see the new one.

My DV7 fingerprint reader works IF Windows 8 is installed clean and all updates are installed. Then in Control Panel you will see a Biometric device. Click it and enroll fingerprints. NOTE... This should be done BEFORE upgrading to Windows 8.1. For some reason you cannot see the device in Control Panel after 8.1 is installed. However it still works (but you cannot enroll other fingers).

I'm sure you've probably found a driver, but this is for those who have not... GMYLE was unhelpful in providing a driver that worked - in fact, when I contacted them, their only response was to ask for my Amazon Order #, then crickets. Over the course of a few days I tried a number of Renesas drivers, none of which worked. But cDuck28Z's link provides a driver that worked on my HP Pavilion dv2700 running Windows 7. Thank you, cDuck28Z.

Yes.It should work just fine. I have multiple hp laptops that I used this card to replace the old card with.Be very careful when removing the embedded antenna from the original card connectors. They will connect to this card and work just fine, but make sure you don't damage them when detaching them.

It works fine on the HP Pavillion DV6 and it seems like the g7 has a very similar keypad to the DV6. So I'm guessing you wouldn't have a using problem using this cover for a g7.

Margarita you will be better of buying the fingerprint software for the same price. This dvice was meant to work plugged directly into the router. if your printer is near your router it will work fin. otherwise buy the software I suggested

not without modding the bios All HP have wifi whitelists with only a few cards on them you will need to void all warranty and potentially brick your laptop by finding a 3rd party hacked bios to fix it so you may use this card. If you put it in it will either work or it will not show up or it will cause the pc to refuse to boot at all as the case was with my hp netbook and any card other than the one it came with.

I haven't personally tried it, but the way to find out would be to compile and install libfprint, using the "--with-drivers=all" flag in the configure command line to ensure that any drivers that support the reader are built.Then, use either fprint_daemo or Fingerprint GUI to test the functionality.Good luck.

I used it for my laptop HP window 7, not sure if mine is a Pavillion G6 and how my son in law found which one that would work. Guess you have to go to properties and see. This particular one was a smidgen higher than some of the others but it got a good rating.

Sorry, I purchased a different unit. This one wouldn't read my fingerprints.

You might try reinstalling software & driver for PS5100. This is the website for downloads: http://www.zvetcobiometrics.com/Support/downloads/P5100_downloads.php. I'd download the complete package & install. Then plug in fingerprint reader.

Hello diebumbot. Thank you for contacting us here at Fulcrum Biometrics. The device drivers and the FinLogon Personal software would need to be installed in order to lock/unlock your computer. We provide these components when you purchase this fingerprint scanner. We hope this is helpful. Best regards

I don't know since I only have hp slate 7 and hp touchpad. I suggest going to manufacturer page and see if they've noted it.

I do not know the answer to this - but I have used HP scanners with all the all the previous Windows operating systems. I rely heavily on m7 G4010 scanner and currently use Windows 7. I have never been aware of any particular problem caused by the operative system and HP updates the scanner software regularly. If anyone wants to pursue this, I would contact HP Customer Care.

Yes, the fingerprint reader works just fine. There are still a lot of tiny air bubbles everywhere though, which is pretty annoying.

Hello. I'm not sure. I asked a question before I bought mine if it would work with my HP and two people said YES. It didn't! Sorry I can't help you, Harry

Also tried to install it on my HP dv6-1030us and it does not work. It ask me or tells me I do not have the license to use it.ThanksRay Sanders

i'm not sure what version of chrome book i have (HP pavilion). i found that the adapter was a very tight fit. initially i thought it didn't fit. once i got it inserted it is very firmly attached and difficult to remove (which is fine). there are many sites online where you can find out specifically what adapter will fit. i believe that this adapter might list its compatible laptops.
