    Does anyone else have issues with their fingerprint reader? Once every so often, it won't detect my fat finger when I try to login.

    Any reason for this?

    what message does it give for rejecting the scan? "Too short"?

    There's no message. It doesn't even register that I'm sliding epithelial cells across the scanner.

    I finally have to give up and type in my password. I'll check on the acuity settings though.

    Failing that you can always remove the palmrest and check to make sure the fp cable is connected.
