Pavilion dv7 webcam

Hello

I just bought the laptop and my webcam is not recognized by Skype.  Does anyone have any suggestions? It's my first time using Skype and the first time with a web cam so not sure if I need to do something.  I see myself in the web cam but if not sure why Skype does not recognize.

Thank you!

  1. Connect to Skype and on the Tools menu, select Options....
  2. Under the video settings, if you have a webcam connected, you will see a live image of your webcam.
  3. If necessary, and if you have multiple webcams connected to your computer, select a Webcam HP in the drop-down list.
  4. Click Save.

  • 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!

  • HP Pavilion dv7-4190us drivers for Beats Audio and MediaSmart Webcam

    Nice day. I bought a Pavilion dv7-4190us last December 2010. I loved its audio quality. However, I recently formatted the OS due to some MBR problems. I managed to get most of the software I need to save for Beats Audio and MediaSmart Webcam.

    For Beats Audio, I find not everything on the page for the driver for my laptop model. For MediaSmart webcam, I downloaded and installed sp51029 but nothing happened. Someone knows what's the problem?

    Hello

    Try the following to see if you can install HP MediaSmart Webcam.

    First, download the MediaSmart Webcam Installer on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp51001-51500/sp51029.exe

    Then, if you do not have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip.

    Now, open your download folder, click with the right button on the HP MediaSmart Webcam Installer, select Extract 7 - Zip, select the files and then click Ok.  Open the newly extracted folder, open src and scroll down until you see the application setup ( 12th from the bottom with a size of 310 KB ).  This Application Configuration right click and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  Once installation is complete, restart the computer and see if the Wecam software has been installed successfully.

  • Webcam never worked on Pavilion DV7-6052ea

    Hi, I've had a Pavilion dv7-6052ea for a few months now and the built in 'Truevision HD' webcam never worked so I thought I should do something!  OS is Windows 7 64 bit.

    When I open Youcam3, I get the warning message, next.  Warning - no webcam detected, try to connect a webcam to your computer now.  If you use a built-in camera, make sure it's on. »

    The checking Device Manager there is no entry 'device of image.  The 'virtual Webcam Cyberlink pilot' appears under sound, video and game controllers.

    Would be grateful for any help - especially since my wife was not treated well by HP customer care a few days back...

    Thank you

    Gavin

    Ok.. This issue, never been resolved, you can speak to your dealer for replacement or refund.

  • Pavilion dv7 6c95dx: hardware with built-in microphone and webcam problem

    A couple of months, I had someone replace my fan and the heat sink. Since the replacement my integrated webcam and MIC do not work. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers several times. When I go to device management there is no legacy Imaging. If I click on display - display the currencies of imaging equipment shows up, HP Deskjet 2050 j510 series (USB) HP TrueVisionHD (twice) and USB video device.

    Hi @gmurph52 ,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. It's a great site for information and questions. I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx Notebook and questions with the WebCam. Thank you for all the information about what you have tried and what you see in Device Manager. Very useful.

    I would like to start by uninstalling the devices listed in your device under imaging devices Manager. Reboot the laptop.

    Do you see something new in there?  Here's a document on how to fix the WebCam as the computer sees connected and recognizes it.

    Are not, you may have to check the connections. Here is a link to your manual page 30 parts and page 84 of deletion for the location on your laptop.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you.

    Your English is very good.  The smile.  Unfortunately, it's the only language I speak, so we are limited.  Can I use Google Translate if you want / need to send information in your own language at home.

    Problem webcam and HP SimplePass troubled can be tricky - when they don't work, it may be easy to fix - or terrible and difficult to understand.  I hope I can help.

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

    The camera can be other problems.

    Help for Webcam / camera:

    Article > Webcam / camera

    Look at this document for help and suggestions:

    Laptop HP, Touch and PC AiO - Webcam troubleshooting (Windows 7)

    What happens if nothing helps?

    It is possible that the tiny wires in the camera are broken.  If nothing is done to fix the camera, you may need to consider that the wires that connect the camera to the computer are loose or disconnected (broken).  If that's true, in other words, if the wires are broken or disconnected, the webcam / camera will not work.  This isn't good news, but this is not cheap having fixed.  You can take the computer to a local computer repair center, the confidence of having this kind of work.  HP can also do this repair.  If you have the skills, you can do the repairs yourself.

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

    HP SimplePass

    Reboot = redΘmarrer

    HP SimplePass is sensitive to "other software" on the computer.  Everything must be "up-to-date" and ready to go.

    For example, you want to have your update of the .NET Framework, you want to have your updates from Windows Update (in the last month or almost) and you want to make sure that you do not have a shortage of pilots.

    For example:

    Page driver your computer laptop Support site:

    Category: Software - security > HP ProtectSmart hard drive Protection

    sp57232.exe

    Category: Software - Solutions > HP framework

    sp56878.exe

    The short answer:

    Preparation

    • Stop all programs: browsers, games, Applications, etc.

    Control Panel > display icon > System > System Protection >

    Select (highlight) your main drive (C)

    Click on Create a Restore Point

    Installation of the driver and HP SimplePass

    • Download the Driver of sensor of validity on your computer:

    sp56403 validity sensor Driver W7 - 64 bit V4.3.301.0

    • The pilot will probably download in your "Downloads" folder
    • Install the driver of sensor of validity by 'double click' on the name of the file
    • Restart the computer and log in

    Next

    • Download the version of HP SimplePass program 5.4.0.402 on your computer:

    sp58600.exe

    • Probably, the package will be downloaded in your "Downloads" folder
    • Install the HP SimplePass program in "double click on the file name.
    • Restart the computer and log in

    See if you can get HP SimplePass program to start

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

    HP SimplePass Version 5.4.0.402 is an older version of the program SimplePass.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't work for everyone.

    There is a newer version of the HP SimplePass program drawn up by the same company (AuthenTec) that might work.

    If you want to try it, follow these steps:

    • Download this program:

    sp63224 HP SimplePass V6.0.100.276 Win7-8

    • Probably, the package will be downloaded in your "Downloads" folder

  • HP Pavilion dv7: unable to connect to the Internet

    I can't access the Internet via ethernet or wireless. It seemed to happen after an update of Windows 10.

    Other computer and android phone can access the wireless. When I click on the wireless icon, I see different networks, including mine. However, it is said, "No Internet, secure." I ran a diagnosis, saying that the wireless network adapter and the wired network adapter does not work. I tried to update the drivers, but to no avail.

    I remove this update. I have HP Pavilion dv7, produces none. QJ799AV #ABA. It seems that there are no drivers for Windows 10.

  • HP Pavilion dv7 - 3188cl: HP Pavilion does not connect to Internet (resolved)

    I recently got a HP Pavillion Entertainment, model number dv7 - 3188cl, for me to use for a class at the school by my uncle. Before the recovery, everything worked perfectly well. My uncle asked me to reset the computer, so we used the recovery disks that wiped the hard drive successfully but then refuses to reinstall the operating system. Instead of getting another set of recovery disks that I've used a Windows 7 install disc to reinstall the OS and he did so successfully with one flaw, the laptop does not connect to the internet.

    I tried to connect via ethernet and it does not find my WiFi network. I suspect his lack a driver and checked for drivers on the HP site but he said that there is none. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, and if there is no driver for this I would be grateful if you could tell me where to download from.

    Thanks in advance.

    Update: after some search Intel had the good driver needed.

    Hello @peace4q1,

    Welcome to the Support Forum community!

    I read all your posts on the Forums of HP Support and wanted soft hand to help you!

    I understand that you are having problems with the audio software / settings lost in your Pavilion dv7 notebook

    When was the software last job right for you? What led you to reinstall? When you have reinstalled the software did you use the Recovery Manager?

    First of all, you want to make sure that all your drivers for your laptop are up to date.

    I found this document has enough detailed troubleshooting for various problems of driver or audio software.

  • Pavilion DV7-6195us: reliable wireless connection

    It is of a Pavilion DV7-6195us. It connects wireless to a provided Comcast router/gateway. My connection drops randomly, and my solution was to click on the bottom wireless icon to the right of the taskbar, disconnect my network, wait 5 seconds and reconnect. It is successful in 90% of cases.

    I looked in Device Manager > network adapters and see: Intel Centrino Wireless n 1000 #2, Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter #2, Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport adapt #3 and Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller.

    This laptop was bought second-hand from a guy who did the free update for Windows 10 without doing all the preparation work. I restarted it in Win 7, 64 bit. The laptop is starting in 2012 and I did the best I could to update the latest drivers, but trying to install the latest WiFi driver gave me the message that says that the driver installed is newer than the one I tried to install. The current version of the driver is 15.11.0.7 as of 1/26/2014(Intel Centrino). I don't know why it is a #2, and I do not know whence the Microsoft Virtual Miniport #2 and #3. Their versions of the drivers are identical and are dated from 2006.

    I wonder if they interfere with the Intel N 1000? Should I uninstall them? Is there a driver later for the Centrino N 1000 found somewhere other than to HP support site?

    My goal here is to stabilize my connection to my wireless router.

    My wife's cell phone is a Dell Inspiron which is located not far from where my laptop is, about the same distance from the router, and she has no problem connecting.

    Thank you.
