Galaxy SPlease run the diagnostics tool on your Samsung Members app to determine if your fingerprint scanner is damaged or not.
You should also make sure that your software is updated, and try resetting your device before using your fingerprint scanner again.
While I sympathize with your situation, I can only advise you to get your device repaired at a Service Center near you to ensure that your device is put back to 100% health by qualified experts using specialized tools for your Galaxy device.

Thanks for letting us know your experience with your Samsung Galaxy phone having issues with the fingerprint scanner that is not working. I feel your frustration after trying out several attempts to have it restored but to no avail. If my device has encountered similar issue, I will be annoyed too.
Before you try out the below recommendations as to your solution, be sure to check if your device's software are updated with the latest version. Please check how to update your mobile device's software in the following order.
Step 1. Go to Settings > Software update.
Step 2. Tap on Download and install.
Step 3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

You may delete your fingerprint and register it again gaining a high average for all three scans and then it should work.
