| Question to answer | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Does it fail only in the car, bag, workplace or one app? | Environment and accessories can imitate internal failure. |
| Did impact, moisture, charging or an update come first? | The sequence narrows likely components and risk. |
| Which related function still works? | Comparison can isolate one path from wider damage. |
| Is continued use or data access the priority? | The best-value route depends on the intended outcome. |

Yes. Surface condition can lower recognition; repeated enrolment failure after cleaning is a stronger hardware clue.
Some biometric parts are linked to the display, side button, sensors or original paired hardware.
Possible causes include contamination, skin condition, protector interference, sensor damage, flex alignment, software and security pairing; diagnosis should confirm which applies to this device.
The work does not normally erase personal data unless software or storage access requires it. Back up whenever possible.
