• HP TrueVision HD webcam does not work on HP Pavilion dv6-6179er Entertainment Notebook PC

  Hi, my HP TrueVision HD webcam stopped working a week ago. My laptop is HP Pavilion dv6-6179er Entertainment Notebook PC series. Its model number is QA398EA. Product number: QA398EA #ACB. Operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Service Pack 1. When the webcam did not work on my Skype I downloaded Youcam, but it does not detect the camera as well. Thus, neither Skype nor Youcam can see the camera on my laptop. When I looked through the Device Manager, it appeared that the imaging devices category had disappeared from the Device Manager list. I tried for portable stop, remove the battery and press the power button for 10 seconds, as has been noted in this web site. However, imaging devices has not appeared. When I click Add legacy hardware (in the Device Manager Action menu) imaging devices appear in the list. However, computer does not detect the TrueVision HD driver, it detects some other driver out of place and combine it with imaging device. Looks like one of the two options: either driver webcam has been removed from the computer or a hardware problem with the camera. Is it possible that I can download driver HP TrueVision HD camera in my computer to see if it is a driver problem or hardware? Appreciate your help in advance. Thank you.

  Hi Sophie,.

  The generic Webcam driver is part of the operating system and not available for download. Looks like it's a hardware problem with the Webcam. I would recommend that you ask a local technician or call HP. You can reach HP Total Care at 1-800-474-6836 in North America or Start here if you live outside of North America.

  Thank you

• Tips for when your webcam is not detected

  EDIT: If you have recently upgraded to Windows 8 and experience this problem, please read this document.
  
  Here are some tips to solve a problem of webcam not detected.  I see this question get asked a lot so here are the steps you should take to resolve the problem.
  
  To start, you make sure that the device is detected by Windows.  The following instructions are for Windows 7, but should be very similar to Windows Vista and Windows 8.
  
  Option 1: Check Device Manager to make sure that it works correctly.

  1. Right-click the Start button, type "Device Manager" and press ENTER.
  2. Once charges Device Manager click 'View' then "Show Hidden devices."
  3. Locate the section "imaging devices".
  4. Note If you see the webcam here.
  5. If the webcam is listed, click it and check that it is not 'disabled '.
  6. If the webcam is listed and disabled, go to Option 2.  If the webcam is not listed, you will spend on Option 4.

  Option 2: Allow Windows to re - install the device.

  1. All remaining in the Device Manager, right click on your webcam and select "Uninstall".
  2. If you are prompted select "remove driver and driver package".
  3. Restart your laptop and allows Windows to attempt to reinstall the webcam.
  4. If Windows detects the webcam check the operation of the webcam.
  5. If Windows does not detect the webcam and install move to Option 3.

  Option 3: Manually install the drivers for your webcam.

  1. This site allows to determine your product/model number.
  2. Visit the Page of Support HP and use this product number to visit the specific page of your product.
  3. Go to "Drivers and software" and are looking for the driver for your webcam.  NOTE: the drivers for the webcam are sometimes provided with the YouCam software.
  4. Download and install this driver.
  5. Restart the PC.
  6. Check the features.

  Option 4: Manually re - detect the hardware.

  1. Disconnect all external devices.
  2. Shut down the laptop.
  3. Remove the battery and AC power.
  4. Press and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds.
  5. Reinstall the battery and AC power.  Then turn on the laptop.
  6. Once Windows is loaded back to the Device Manager.
  7. Selection 'Action' and then 'search for material changes.
  8. If the Device Manager detects hardware let settle.
  9. If Device Manager does not detect the see material Option 5.

  Option 5: System Restore and system recovery.

  It is very well described in this document.  Note that all data not saved prior to a recovery will be lost.

  6 options: Repair or replacement.
  
  If none of these solutions worked for you, it is likely that you are experiencing a hardware failure.  It is possible to replace the webcam or reinstall a loose ribbon cable.  However, it is one of most difficult repairs on the laptop.  If you want to try this repair, you can visit your laptop support page and go to the section "manuals".  There is normally a "maintenance and Service Guide" for laptops, this will cover the disassembly of the laptop.  You can then use HP parts Surfer to locate the part for your laptop.

  If you do not want to attempt a repair yourself you can ask HP about a repair.  For customers in the United States / Canada, you can call 1-800-474-6836.  If you are not in this region, you need visit the HP Support Site to get contact information for your region.

  I hope that everyone considers this information useful!

• Webcam is not detected on Presario CQ62 with Windows 7

  Hi, I'm new to the Forum so apologies in advanced if I made this topic in the wrong place.

  I have a Compaq Presario CQ62-423NR laptop PC, and I can't detect the webcam. I looked everywhere on the web and from what I have gathered, some Presario CQ62 models have no webcams and some do. Now, I'm about to think that my model does not have a webcam, but it seems as if there is a webcam at the top of the laptop unless someone can confirm that this isn't a webcam?

  in any case, I understood also that Windows 7 are compatible with the following programs for HP Laptops: YouCam and CV SmartMedia.
  Sources are here.
  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01970581

  Which leaves me with the options to install one of the programs above, that I did and the two programs do not detect my webcam despite this webcam has been registered there.

  I tried to test on other programs of messaging like msn, Skype and so forth and the webcam is still not detected.

  I also made sure the programs I have installed are compatible with Windows 7 64 bit.

  I also trouble trying to find a driver for the webcam to this model as well, that makes me then back to the start, I have even a webcam? -___-

  So anyone who would throw some lights as to whether or not I have a webcam for this particular model or there is something I am doing wrong?

  Thanks for all the help!

  Hello

  Sorry, but your model have only the built-in microphone. There is no webcam.

• Webcam is not detected on my Satellite C660-217

  Hello

  New on the site looking for some assistance.
  I just bought a used laptop. It s a Toshiba Satellite C600-217

  I can t detect a webcam and supposedly he's built.
  I looked in the control panel Device Manager and hardware but there's nothing for a webcam.

  I am at a complete loss and would like to help please

  > I can't detect a webcam and supposedly it s were built.
  > I looked in control panel Device Manager and hardware but there's nothing for a webcam.

  Salvation in a BIOS version there is an additional option to activate the webcam.
  Please check the BIOS.

  If the BIOS provide no good option, in this case I assume that your webcam is down.
  If the webcam module would be OK, then you should see something in the Device Manager even if the software/driver is not installed.
  You know...

• My dell inspiron 530 built in webcam is not detected on Windows Vista

  Since my computer crashed and I had to re - install all the CD that came with my computer, the built-in webcam and microphone can not be detected by the computer.  I think that the driver can be in a place where the computer does not find it.  Can anyone offer me any advice?  It has been a long time and I really miss my webcam and the ability to use my Audacity to record my own music.

  Hello

  What is the exact model of the computer number?

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

  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).

• My microsoft webcam is not detected by win7

  I have an old Microsoft webcam, I found and I don't know what type it is. I plugged it in and nothing else that two of my universal usb controllers had evidence of error on them. I fixed the signs of the error and tried again, but I had the same problem.

  Thanks for the help,

  It is possible that he is too old. I had an old webcam that doesn't work with anything, and we just had to scrap it and get a new one. This is probably your best option.

• New Pavilion dv7, HP TrueVision HD webcam not detected

  Just bought my new Pavilion dv7, and when I run the Cam software, it tells me that my HP TrueVision HD webcam is not detected. I tried this for a few days, at a point when I was trying to play with the settings you Cam, webcam light on for aprox. 2 seconds and then died again, since then, it won't let me even in the settings of YouCam.

  Right now I am more and more convinced that it is because of my laptop being assembled outside the United States. Need a fix for it immediately.

  Hi guys,.

  I had the same problem with a HP Pavilion dv7-6e22b. I read on a short cable inside the screen.
  I found the post on the way in which the display is connected. It's an older model but I was curious to know how to remove the cover of the machine. It contains 2 screws (that I didn't have to remove to access the camera) just be causious does not break the bevel.

  http://www.insidemylaptop.com/remove-LCD-screen-inverter-Board-HP-Pavilion-dv7-notebook/

  It is an older model in the new model, the connector of the webcam is located directly under the lens of the webcam itself.
  I pressed connector you slightly. And suddenly I hear a USB all OFA linking sound. After that my device manager showed a "device-image", and the software work directly.

  I jump it will solve your problems. I say read all messages and do not find a solution to the driver or software and after seeing the connector, I think it's an effort of poor deisgn by using short cables and small connectors.

  good luck to all!
