    Good Morning,

    I have a CF-30K MK3 and I purchased and installed a Fingerprint reader in it and now can't seem to get it working. Any help would be appreciated.

    I also have the FP reader in CF-30. Mine came with the FPC cable broken. After replacement I enabled it in the BIOS and it was detected under Linux with lsusb command. If you use Windows you should see the driver installation popup.

    If you don't see it in the BIOS you should check the hardware installation.

    Thanks for the reply. I finally figured it out. I installed the cable upside down. Once I flipped it around, it started to work. Now I have a new problem with my CF-74 MK 2 with Windows 7 and the touch screen no working.

    Now the best thing to do is start a new thread like " CF-74 MK 2 W7 Touchscreen Not Working"
