    Peeps, help me out. i have a problem..

    i just bought a HP6602au.

    for the first few times, the finger print reader was detecting that i am swiping my finger over the sensor.. but, after a few swipes even b4 registering my finger print, its not detecting anything..

    whenever i swipe now, i dont get any message .. none at all..

    I would try a system restore back to when it was working. That should fix it.

    try cleaning it with rubbing alchohol? just in case.. might just be blocked.
    might be the software, also. try re-installing that.
