Is your wifi antenna touching the RAM module (it looks like it does at the height of the QR code of the speaker). It may be a bit far fetched, but maybe the heat of the RAM module could be transferred to the corner where the fingerprint reader sits via the antenna cable?
@Auryn_Macmillan we did some testing here and found that the power button gets a bit hotter when the driver has not initialized it. I assume you are running linux with a version of libfprint that does not support our fingerprint reader based on your comment.
We are checking with the vendor of this part to see if we can improve this. But I would recommend running a supported version of libfprint if you can.
What distribution are you using?
I also had the issue with the super-hot fingerprint reader until I upgraded libfprint to v1.94.0 or greater. I was wondering if it was a feature of the reader to erase your fingerprint from your finger Anyway, the temperature of the power button and the surrounding area are about the same now, so I am happy. In case anyone has installed from git clones and is not sure how to upgrade as new tagged versions of libfprint and fprintd come out, I made a script:
Screen readers are software programs that allow blind or visually impaired users to read the text that is displayed on the computer screen with a speech synthesizer or braille display. If you do not own a screen reader, your device should have one built-in. Windows comes with Narrator. MacOS and iOS has VoiceOver built-in. Android comes with TalkBack. We have included instructions for starting each program, along with basic reading commands for each one. If you do not need instructions, please continue to the screen reader activity.
We are only providing instructions for the reading functions with the screen readers, but they provide many more commands to assist users in navigating their devices. There are links in each accordion to get more information on using a screen reader.
Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 7000 (7501), and OBV first thing first I installed Arch.
After a little time, I start wondering how the GNU/Linux world was going with the fingerprint reader and, after some research, I found fingerprint-gui ( -gui/).
Unluckily, my fingerprint reader is not recognized, so I can't set everything up.
The questions are:
- Is there a way to fix the problem?
- Can I help/improve the community in any way? I'd like to help, but I don't know where to start. Any advice?
I have an ASUS laptop (ZenBook UX430U) under Windows 10 (64-bit) and it's been working great so far, fabulous laptop. However it seems that my integrated SD card reader suddenly stopped working - I'm using it for my photography work. It's not recognising my SD card and I've tried another SD card, with no luck.
I don't think the SD cards are the problem as they're working on my camera with no issues. They used to work on my laptop a few months ago, and I didn't operate any major changes to the laptop apart from mandatory Windows updates.
I've tried all of your suggestions and nothing happens when I pop my SD card in. There's nothing in Device Manager that includes the words "SD" or "card reader", nothing that I could identify as being the SD card reader. Maybe I can try to rollback to a previous version of Windows 10 and undo the Windows updates that happened since the last time my SD card was properly read on this laptop (Nov 2019)? Would this do something?
Thanks for your answer. None of these showed me my SD card. It was functioning perfectly last time I've checked, and this laptop was running Windows 10 from the beginning so I'm pretty sure W10 does support the card reader (as a reminder it's the integrated card reader within the laptop).
I have never come across a card reader setting in BIOS. Your computer may be different. Open Device Manager again. Is there something called Generic Card Reader or something similar under the Disk Drives section?
I don't know if I would be willing to install the SD host controller driver if you installed the ASUS card controller and that did not work. I have one computer that has the generic card reader under disk drives and also the SD controller. I have one computer that has only the SD controller, and another with only the generic card reader under disk drives. I'm afraid if we did attempt to install the SD controller it could make things worse.
@KAnuj2020: yes I've tested the SD card on my camera and on a Mac computer and it works flawlessly. I've also tried another SD card on all three devices and only my laptop isn't able to do anything with it. Nothing happens when I pop it in, nothing at all, not even anything moving in the Device Manager. It's as if the card reader is not being supplied by the MoBo anymore... What do you mean by changing the driver letter of the SD card?
We make that assumption because clearly the Aero 17 on USB 3.0 with its RealTek UHS-II reader can easily reach 262MBps read speeds. Our control, the SanDisk Extreme Pro UHS-II reader, also can hit a decent 246MBps read speed.
Writing to the cards is slower for the XPS 15 and Aero 17 and largely a tie. The SanDisk Extreme Pro card reader also does a fine job. Meanwhile, the G5 15 SE and Xenia 15 are far, far behind the pack.
The results largely mirror our read tests using Crystal Disk Mark 7. The higher-performance card readers all track very closely, the Xenia 15 achieves an acceptable 47 seconds, and the G5 15 SE strolls past the finish line the next day.
The first takeaway from this is that clearly, not all laptop SD card readers are created equal. All four of the laptops we tested are current models introduced this year, yet we see a huge swing in performance.
I am trying to make an application using python that registers students' attendance. I'm planning to use my laptop's fingerprint built-in fingerprint device to identify the students and register the attendance.
This can not be done for now. The fingerprint sensor associated with laptop/mobile can be used for authentication purpose only. Means, you can add the more number of fingerprints who are eligible to access the device. Then, device will allow any one of them to unlock the device. It will not record whose fingerprint it is. It will just say, a fingerprint is authenticated or not.

Aquile Reader also comes with built-in text-to-speech capability which means you can listen to books just like an audiobook. Apart from that, you can customize the appearance including dark mode, colors, font, spacing, and more. Best of all, you can get insights into your reading habits as well. Simply put, there is no Epub reader on Windows that works as good as the Aquile Reader.
Calibre is one of the oldest and the best Epub readers for your Windows 11 machine. The app is packed with features allowing you to do things like downloading epubs, managing metadata, downloading covers for books, transferring books from one device to another, and even converting books from one format to another.
Calibre is not only good for reading normal Epub novels but also magazines, comics, and more. If you are looking for a good ebook reader app for your Windows PC, Calibre is certainly the topmost contender for the job.
It supports bookmarks, background color change, automatic text scaling, tab support, and much more. The best part is that it can even open large Epub files without breaking a sweat with correct indentation, tree-like chapters, and more. I would say, if you are looking for an Epub reader that just works without any frills, then Sumatra PDF Reader is the best pick.
Freda is one of my favorite Epub readers just because of its looks. The app looks like a native Windows 11 app and makes Epubs really stand out when you read them on this app. One of my favorite features here is its theming capabilities which allow users to customize the look and feel of the app to make it exactly how they like it.
Icecream App is an app studio that has developed some really fine apps for Windows and of all the apps that come from the studio, their Epub reader is my favorite. Not only does their Epub reader app look good but it also brings a ton of features including full-screen mode support, exceptional search capabilities, easy page-turning mechanics, reading progress tracking, support for multiple languages, and more.
