the fingerprint reader has been disabled in many of these laptops because they were for business purposes & the company didn't want employees to personalize them with fingerprinting.
@@fantasysurvival8331 I bought one refurbished, had some problems but it all got fixed. Overall it is a Quick laptop (I have 16GB Ram) with a pretty nice keyboard and screen. Some g5's don't have the best accu so if you buy one check on that.
I just got one. It only has the i5-8250U instead of the i5-8359U, so the base CPU frequency is 100 mHz lower. On the other hand, mine has 16 gigabytes of RAM and the optional additional Radeon graphics system with its own RAM (only 2 gigabytes, but...). So I'm pretty happy about it. Oh, and mine was really, really inexpensive (but not, in my world) compared to yours. About the only things I'm not thrilled about are: the storage device is way too small for my needs (dual-boot multiple OS), the 3,840x2,160 display instead of 1,920x1,080, which means this thing eats battery charge faster; my fingerprint scanner doesn't function,n either (perhaps they were optional, and HP only made the one style of case?); my battery is approximately 60% of design capacity, and buying a new one off the Internet is always a Chinese junk crapshoot; and - most significantly - it does not have linux on it (yet).
@@techzact I am - or, at least, I will be if it's still functioning well when I get the $250 I had to borrow to buy it paid off. I am pretty sure that its battery will be pooched before then, but (of course) it does have an AC adaptor, so that's fine. When I get my favorite linux distro installed on it, it'll be great. I'm going to try to not wipe Microsoft's OS off the drive in the process... this time. Mostly so that I can learn it and Office 2019. After that, I might not log into Windows again. Although I said much the same thing approximately 15 years ago - and just proved otherwise :rolleyes: .
I got mine and it's really fucking stupid. The trackpad glitches, drivers randomly uninstall and can't be installed again. On top of all that a lot of people with the same model are experiencing the same problem and much more.
I tried to charge it with type c 65 watt charger of my Realme 9proPlus but It was not charging. But When I switched off the lap top , It was charging with type c! Why?
Hi. I am a videomaker and I need a new computer. I saw you editing on Premiere Pro. I have a question: Is this laptop really good for editing videos in 1080p on Premiere Pro?
Thank you very much. :) In general higher number used to be a newer generation, but in this case I don't have experinece with G6. Please read about it on google or ask chatgpt :)

It can depend, but normally on the G5 model, there is a backlight, I have one on mine but if it shows a backlight button (on f9) then the backlight cable might be damaged or broken.
To enable the fingerprint reader you need to first enable it in the BIOS, there you enable and disable it ok because some companies don't know why they leave this function disabled there in the BIOS 👍👍
A refurbished laptop refers to a pre-owned or used laptop that has been professionally restored to a like-new or near-new condition. This process usually involves a thorough inspection, cleaning, repair, replacement of any damaged or worn-out parts, and software updates. Once the laptop has been restored, it is tested for functionality, performance, and reliability before being repackaged and sold at a lower price than a new laptop. Refurbished laptops can come from various sources, such as returns, trade-ins, display models, or lease returns. They can be a cost-effective alternative to buying a new laptop, especially when purchased from a reputable seller or manufacturer. However, it's essential to check the warranty and return policy of the seller to ensure you have adequate protection in case of any issues. Subscribe to my channel :)

Is there no keyboard light?
