Einleitung

This replacement guide will enable users to properly remove the fingerprint scanner on the Lenovo ThinkPad X280.

The fingerprint scanner is commonly used as an authentication device to grant users access to the device.

If your device’s sensor is dirty and failing to work properly, your device is unresponsive to your fingerprint, and/or fails to recognize your fingerprint, your fingerprint scanner may be insufficient.

It is important to note that typically only one finger can be used to relay an appropriate response from your device. Using multiple fingers can result in an ‘error’ or ‘fingerprint cannot be read’ message. In addition, in order to remove or replace the fingerprint scanner, you must first remove the battery.
