    I just recieved my TZ150 yesterday and it came without restore options on the HD and no restore disks. So I have been trying to get certain features working such as the function controls for brightness, volume, etc. I eventually got that to work, however I am having trouble with getting the fingerprint module to work.

    The notebook does not recognize when I swipe my finger across the scanner, nor is there software to control it. I tried downloading the drivers from the sony support site, but it didn't do anything different. Help in getting my fingerprint reader on my TZ to work would be much appreciated.

    I purchased from ebay. I tried to get to the hidden recovery partition by hitting f10 at bootup, but it asks me for a password. Will this disk work for my particular system?
