Hello, this is Emily.
Do you mind clarifying? Are you asking where it is located physically? Or are you saying it used to work, but now it doesn't?
Either way, I will need to know your computer's information before I can provide any soluton. Please hold down Windows + R keys, type in msinfo32.exe and hit enter. Then share a screenshot of the System Information window. Thanks!
Every laptop is different on where they place the finger print reader. Some put it on the touchpad or some put it beside the touchpad usually looks like a oddly placed cut out rectangular shape. The manual will have its location.
