Where is my fingerprint reader in my Dell XPS M1530?

[kevs]

I've tried searching for it, going through the manual, and nothing...

Does anyone know where I can find the program to initialize the fingerprint reader?

I know when I first got the laptop a week or so ago, I updated/installed a UPEK driver for the reader...

Thanks for any help! :)

I think it's built somewhere into the screen. Coat your fingers with Vaseline then try pressing every 1/2 inch or so everywhere on your screen.



j/k, of course. I really don't have any idea.

Okap, i pit vaeolin un sbreenm amd nbw I csn't sre... :)

Anyway, I found a site that gives all the drivers and utilities for my laptop. Installed the utility, but I'm backing up my laptop on my homeserver, so I can't test it out quite yet...

Man, Dell does not make it easy!

Go to http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/xpsnb_m1530?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&~tab=bundlestab and click on the 5th "subpicture" and it will point it out.

I have the same laptop you have. I bought it in February or March. I think the fingerprint reader is more annoying that anything else and I have cold hands so it doesn't register half the time.
