Alienware 17 built-in Webcam does not

Evening,

I have an Alienware Laptop, 17, and all of a sudden the webcam is not recognized in Device Manager.

I've updated the bios, show hidden devices in the Manager and update drivers (windows update States), made a reset to the date of the last I had before my last Skype call and NOTHING.

Anyone else have any ideas?  Nothing in line and webcam all sites, that I was not picking up or :-(test

You can try this file, also known as the Dell Webcam Central.

Create a new unrestricted user account and try the webcam. The webcam worked?

If Yes, sign out and sign back in to your account and try the webcam. The webcam worked?

If not, then the webcam is detached from the motherboard, usually close to the webcam

  • Built in webcam does not work

    I followed some advice here with Device Manager. I entered and found my camera. I clicked on properties and it says an error message.

    It is said

    Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)

    To resolve this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer.

    It was just too much. My camera has always worked well. I have Windows 8, but I've always had. I have not downloaded anything recently... I have no idea why my camera just stopped working. I already tried the update and it says I have the latest version.

    Most often when a device does not work, it is because the driver is damaged. Re-install a new copy should help

  • Satellite L500-1WG - built in webcam does not work

    My built-in web cam is not working, I discovered last week, and I have tried a few solutions as uninstall, then reinstall the driver but that work.

    Also I delete my system restore to save space so I can't really go back to when it worked.
    I don't think I installed all the drivers webcam lately, so I don't think that was it.

    Help?

    Hmmmm... What can be done now?
    Generally reinstall the driver webcam should help, but have you tried.

    What operating system do you use?
    Try to delete web camera application again, clean the registry and all the entries, restart the laptop and try to reinstall the right webcam driver.
    I put t really know what else you can try.

    By the way: what is the status of the webcam in Device Manager?

  • My built-in webcam does not work on new Skype

    Hello everyone

    A few months ago, I updated my Skype. On the updated version, I couldn't use my webcam (USB2.0 uvc vga webcam on ASUS x52f, windows 7). I asked Google to solution and I got it: we will install an older version of Skype.

    I did and the problem was solved.

    Now that Skype blackmailed me to download the latest version (6.18.60.105) the problem is on again once. And the solution (installing a previous version) is no longer relevant.

    I installed the new K-light codec pack. Still nothing.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled my camera and drivers. Still nothing.

    So the question is: How do I get my built-in Skype new and brilliant camera work?

    Thanks for the replies!

    Robert

    Uninstall the version 6.18 and install Skype 6.14.0.104 version:

    Hello

    Troubleshoot camera connection
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Troubleshoot-camera-connection-problems

    You probably need to recharge the device drivers and camera control software (usually included
    with the drivers and installed at the same time).

    Login as an administrator.

    Double-click Control Panel / Device Manager - Imaging - writing down of the brand and model of camera.
    on this subject and on the tab of the driver is version. Now, click on update drivers (who are unable to do anything as MS
    is far behind the pilots of certification). RIGHT click on the camera - UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it
    will update the driver stack.

    Now, go to the system manufacturer's website and download the latest driver for the camera and the other related camera
    software (if not more recent get the same).

    Download - SAVE - go to them and RIGHT CLICK - RUN AS ADMIN - reboot after each driver.

    Manually look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers to 7 (update drivers manually using the methods above is preferred
    to make sure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    Then let windows updates on however prevent loading of drivers who are often older than the
    those that you have installed. If updates suggests a pilot and then HIDE it and watch manually to see if their
    really is a more recent version (at the time system manufacturer and the sites of the manufacturer of the device).

  • Built in webcam does not work in windows movie maker

    I just bought an Acer Aspire 4730Z with windows vista and other pre-installed programs. I was looking to take the video to a blog with the cam integrated as I had done in the past on my desk but WMM said that there is no camera. The camera is obviously there and works with other programs like Skype. What can I do to fix this?

    I'm not sure as to which version I'm running because everything is installed.

    Hello ZeroFall,

    Thank you for visiting the website of Microsoft Windows Vista Community.

    1. Try to uninstall Skype as it can interfere with WMM.
    2. Install the current drivers for the web cam
    3. Use the webcam to record your video and transfer it to WMM

    Let us know if these steps solve your problem.  I hope the information is useful.

    Kind regards

    Everywhere wherever I look I keep seeing the words "drivers." I don't know what makes a driver is, so if someone could help me in using the language more simple that would be very useful.

    Thank you!
