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.

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!

    I have a HP Pavilion notebook. My system does not detect my sd card and I can't eject. Help?

    From my understanding, most laptops allow you to simply remove the SD card back.  Others have a simple spring mechanism that requires you to press the memory card slightly until you hear a "click", similar to a click on a retractable pen, which must eject the card.

  • HP Pavilion dv7 button walk / stop does not

    Hi, I recently had my Hp Pavilion dv7-1245dx Entertainment Notebook (to the best of my knowledge bc, I can't look it up in my product number) fixed some viruses and malware that caused random stops and freezes. My laptop worked fine after that the fix so I installed the latest updates to better protect my laptop but when I left and my laptop came into fashion 'sleep' it would not respond and the screen was black. I stopped using the power button and it turned back. The computer does not start and the flash caps lock button three times which means a problem of memory, according to HP support, that happened before I got my laptop fixed. Later, I unplugged the AC adapter and moved my laptop but when I tried to put it on the power button does not respond and I can't do anything with my laptop. Both recommended options for the issue of cap locks and the power button is to go inside my laptop and tinkering with the battery and the memory module. I'm very hesitant to do so for fear of further harm to my laptop. I am on Windows 7 and advice on what I should do would be greatly appreciated. (will give you more information if necessary)

    With respect,

    ACertainGuy

    Your notebokdoes have removable covers for the module of memory in the bottom of the laptop. It's just as shown in the document I linked.

    You will need to buy a Jewelers screwdriver set.  A jewellers Phillips scredriver is necessary.

    Here is a link to a documentthat explains the flashing LED error codes and what they mean.

    The only other option, if you do not have enough confidence to do it yourself, is to take your laptop in a shop that will do it for you.

    Best regards

  • HP Pavilion dv7-4190us: touchpad buttons do not work

    Last week, I received two HP Pavilion dv7-4190us laptops from Amazon. Both had the same problem: the buttons on the touchpad do not work. If you hit one of them, the result is the same if you hit the main part of the pad. Affecting the buttons in a particular function does not work. I checked in the Information System, which showed the touchpad as having 0 buttons. I spent over 2 hours on the phone with HP support, but they were unable to resolve the problem. I sent two computers laptops back to Amazon, ask for a refund. It's a shame that these otherwise great computers are rendered by this problem, making them unacceptable for me.

    It turns out that the buttons on the touch pad work. The result of this 'problem' is my confusion over the operation of these buttons. On this touchpad (which is not like the others, I've used so far), the buttons are flush with the surface of the touch pad, and they do not respond to touch, but only in the same way as a button on the main part of the pad. The fact to the specific button functions, to firmly press a button. I found this by reading the answer to another user who has reported the same issue. I hope this can help to avoid confusion of someone else in the future.

  • Pavilion DV7-3060us: BIOS restore file "not a win32 application invalid" (Pavilion DV7)

    I have an intermittent (about 19 times out of 20) on a Pavilion DV7-3060us BIOS failure.  After that you press power, the fan and the light turns on, the screen remains black and lock/num lock flashing twice, pause, flash twice, etc..  Sometimes, the computer will boot normally to Win7.   Near as I can understand, I need to reflash the BIOS.  I downloaded the image file winflash/BIOS (SP47531.exe) the drivers and software page, but when I try to run it, I get a "...". not a Win32 valid request"message.

    Any advice on how to get this file to run it, or another method to solve the failure of startup issue, would be very much appreciated.

    So much worse... apparently the problem is I downloaded the file through Chrome.  Downloaded with IE on another machine, recorded on a USB key, it connected the USB on the machine of problem without difficulty.  Does not seem to have solved my problem starting, but the 'valid not a Win32 application' error has been resolved.

  • Pavilion dv7-7071sf: USB port does not

    Hello!

    First of all, I apologize for my poor English, hope that you carry a grudge on me on this subject.

    I accidentally deleted the bios battery connector yesterday while I was remove my computer (cleaning with dry of butane air blower and replace thermal paste), so the bios reset...

    After that, the USB ports on the right were not functioning more, IE. they always provide the power for any USB device that them are attached (tried with fan, external hard drive and mouse), but does nothing else (mouse not working not, disk appears not, no sound windows indicating a device has been connected...).

    Here is a list of the things that I tried to fix it:

    • Disassembled my computer again to check if I have everything connected correctly
    • Removed the battery and the cable and held the power button for more than 1 minute and a half
    • Update the drivers (Intel Download Center expandable 3 USB host controller driver)
    • Removal of windows drivers to install its generic those
    • Restore my computer at the time when I had everything working well.

    None of these manipulations worked, and the right usb ports (two usb 3.0) were still not functioning while those on the left (usb 2.0 and usb 3.0) were.

    I assumed it was a matter of windows, so I tried to format my hard drive, using the tool of recovery (F11).

    As for now, complete recovery, windows is installed, but all ports (left and right) are no longer.

    They still offer a power of my devices, but won't fire any action of windows.

    I'm in the show right now the updates of windows, but I don't really expect a lot from him.

    How can that being said, I solve this problem?

    I would appreciate your help on this,

    Thanks in advance.

    HP Pavilion dv7-7071sf (almost 3 years years).

    Using 64-bit windows 7 OS.

    Hey once again!

    Thanks again for your help freedomwarf (and all those who have spent the time to read this topic), the problem has been resolved.

    A friend told me to make a CMOS clear, which I planned to do, but I have not found the mutator.

    What I found instead was me forgetting to plug in the data cable to the motherboard (only the power of one was linked in).

    Thanks again for your help!

  • Pavilion dv7 - battery ' Plugged in and not charging '-0%

    My Pavilion dv7 laptop battery is dead. I plugged and should load, as it normally would.  This time it will all charge. It says "Plugged in and not charging. The battery life is currently 0%, and if I unplug the laptop turns off immediately.

    I don't think you understood WHAT I was asking...

    However, the problem corrected itself.  There was a software update, which I needed to have access to the internet.  When the computer has been closed by ME instead of death, it updated itself.

  • HP Pavilion dv7-4065dx operating system does not work, drive hard main self-test results 303.

    How repairing when HP Pavilion dv7-4065dx will not run the operating system, disk hard main self-test result 303.

    Hello

    303 error seems to indicate that the drive is defective and must be replaced - it is also compatible with the problem you describe.

    If your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange for the disc replaced.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

    If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

    If you are out of warranty and would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself, let me know.

    Kind regards
