    So now that I got one how the heck do you set it up. The CF-51 was easy but this thing...nope. I have the drivers loaded and its shows up in Device Manager, its also shows up in the BIOS / Security / Fingerprint Security Sub-Menu. When I go into this it ask me for the supervisor password is required to enter this sub-menu which I put in so I must be missing something ...anyone ??. I am using protector suite 2009 for W7
    So who has one and what did you do to get it working because I sure would love to know... :D

    Welcome!
    Been there, couldn't get in on it on my CF-19mk5 as well. they refuse to give the password, they can't add it aftermarket and they only build FPR's in when you order 20 or 25 at least.
    It's been my annoyance for the last 5 months :D
    It would make my TB really complete!

    I got into it on mine no problem...even put in a new password. The 52 see's the reader but thats it... :confused: . I just checked and when I take out the reader there is no BIOS / Security / Fingerprint Security Sub-Menu in the BIOS so the 52 is seeing the reader. I must not have it setup right or something. Also it is in device manager too as a touchChip which is what it's called.
