My computer says webcam not detected

I have a HP computer and I when I try to use the downloaded client webcam with my computer, CyberlinkYouCam, he says that the webcam is not detected. I went into the Device Manager screen to find it under imaging devices, but there is nothing there. I scanned for a new hard drive, downloaded the new software YouCam, but I don't know what else to do. It does not anywhere what the pilot is supposed to be, but I guess it comes to YouCam. I read a lot of questions but nothing says what happens if you can't find what you did driver, or if it does not work. It's a built-in camera.

Hello

Thanks for posting the query on the Microsoft Community Forums. You have reached the right place. Let us work together to find the cause of this problem and try to solve.

1. What is the model of the CyberlinkYouCam number?
2. do you get an error message?

When you install the Microsoft LifeCam software, and then you plug the LifeCam hardware, the LifeCam hardware is not detected. In addition, in Device Manager, the properties for the LifeCam entry display one of the following codes. I suggest you try the steps from the following links and see if that helps.

  • 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!

  • Satellite A300 PSAG4A: Webcam not detected in Device Manager

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 PSAG4A 02L00M with Vista Home Premium 64-bit.
    The webcam is not working and it is not detected in Device Manager.
    When I install the Chicony camera drivers, I get the "Webcam driver open fail. Error message.

    The fact that I can't see the Webcam in Device Manager tells me that there may be a hardware failure.
    However, I hope that this is a setting that I can fix myself.

    I had restored the laptop to factory also and I've updated the bios.
    I tried to uninstall all the USB controllers and reboot the PC.

    Is there something I can do?
    It's maybe a software problem?
    There may be a setting?

    Best way to test the operation of the equipment is to check with the factory settings installation operating system with the Toshiba recovery image. As I see that you have done this already.

    So if cam still doesn't work properly, I fear that there is a problem with the hardware.
    It cannot be matter of software because the recovery image contains the driver for the cam.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/943104/

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
    the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE
