    Fingerprint reader can't be found: 0xe7210005 error message

    Suddenly, Vista can't find my fingerprint reader sensor. IBM just replaced
    the palmrest and reader, as well as the system board--the reader worked after
    that, then the sensor disappeared a week or so later. Anyone have a clue
    here where it went or how i can get it back or reinstall it? (I don't want
    to do a restore point)
    Thx,
    Jeff

    Can you find it in device manager (IBM support should tell you it's device
    ID - it's something like USB\VID_08FF&PID2580\5&B701C9D&0&2 in my case)

    Miroslav: I found this for the TouchChip driver, under Hardware lds:
    USB\VID_0483&PID_2016&REV_0001
    USB\VID_0483&PID_2016

    is this it? If so, what should i do?

    Thx,
    Jeff

    Looks like you found it. No exclamation marks etc?

    Not sure what's your exact NTB model but look at:
