I agree. I have a Lenovo X230 and Bluetooth quit. After a brief discussion with IBM support, the card was quickly replaced and it is all working. <br />

If you do replace the hardware, make certain to install all the software that goes with it. Do not accept an automatic install. Replace all the fingerprint software.

I have a Lenovo T440s laptop which is working great under Windows 8.1 x64. &nbsp;The problem is the fingerprint reader is usually not detected.<br />
<br />
If I launch the Lenovo Fingerprint Manager it normally reports that the reader cannot be detected. &nbsp;Once in a blue moon It does detect it o I register my pinky and reboot only to find it does see the reader again.<br />
<br />
if I go to Windows -&gt; Settings-&gt; Accounts-&gt; Sign in options I can sometimes Add and Remove fingerprints but usually the options are also disabled as presumably the system cannot see the reader.<br />
<br />
I have downloaded and successfully installed the Finger print driver and have also gone into the BIOS to unsure the reader is enabled. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Any help greatly appreciated.

Lenovo T440s Fingerprint reader not detected in Windows 8.1 x64

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, with an emphasis on improving its user experience on tablets. In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen, a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services, support for USB 3.0, Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware.

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
