I would consider taking your laptop to an A+ Certified Computer technician and have him run full diagnostics on your hard drive and other internal electronics. At this point, the hard drive is my #1 suspect.

Most hard drives in laptops fail between 3 - 5 yrs.

Research shows me this laptop will be about 6 years old next month. If after you do all that, and the Biometric scanner fails to work, you could have a failing hard drive or a problem with your Motherboard. Sometimes, just updating your Windows will fix a driver or device problem like this! :angel: If you have Windows 7 you need to update to Windows 7 SP1. For example, if your Vaio was running Vista, and it installed plain Vista, you'd need to apply 2 service packs to bring up your Vista to SP2 level in order for everything to work correctly including your Biometric scanner device. Often, Microsoft puts in patches for special devices like this into Service Packs, and you'll need those patches to have the device operate correctly. You didn't mention what version of Windows you are running, but it's critical that you make sure you apply any and all service packs and updates to your restored Windows installation. It's possible that the Biometric device stopped working coincidentally with the other failure you had in Windows which caused you to reinstall from Recovery Discs. If it still fails to work, it could be a Windows problem or a hardware problem. Try running your Biometric program again. If disabled, change the option to enabled, save your settings to your BIOS and reboot your computer. I would check your BIOS setup program (accessible through keyboard shortcut, such as F1 or ESC or DELETE key on computer startup) to make sure the Biometric Scanner option is Enabled. There are a couple of possibilities here. Re: Setting up fingerprint scanner on Vaio VGNBX760
