Sorry 4 basic question but will you get Dell warranty if purchased from from lowyat, digital mall etc  For Vostro laptop?

Hi, i just wanted to ask, i have a Dell Vostro 5470 running windows 8. And i've had it for a few months now. I've also been using the DigitalPersona Fingerprint scanner for unlocking my com and Etc.

However, just yesterday, i realized that i couldn't use it. And it said that "Fingerprint Scanner not detected".

I am not sure what i pressed last night, it might have been a shortcut key as i was doing my work late at night and i was sleepy.

And suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Hi can I ask you, how much did you buy the vostro 5470 n is it touch screen?

i managed to get a copy of the finger print software, pm me if you need a copy.

Thanks for the software, Bro. I configured the PERSONA software to read my print but how do you get Win 8 to boot up with MS account with it?

Great news!!!

I finally managed to boot to the USB cd-rom and successfully installed win7 pro onto the SSD after trying on different bios setting and also different USB ports to connect the USB cd-rom.

Below is the procedure for your reference:

1. connect your usb drive/cd-rom to the usb port next to hdmi port (make you have bootable usb/cd-rom with windows installation file)
2. power up and press F2 to enter BIOS setting
3. clear all the password for admin and system
4. load default setup
5. press F10 to save and exit bios
6. you should boot into the installation process after restart (remember to set the boot sequence in bios: usb storage -> cd-rom -> hdd)

The system is extremely fast (take about 10s to reach windows welcome screen) and very responsive in windows.

Good luck!

   

hi, i am consider this 5470 model too, i am thinking of get a SSD and swap with the original HDD, but does the fingerprint scanner works well after you changed to Windowns 7 in SSD ?

thanks for sharing.
