The built-in on my Lenovo Thinkpad webcam does not work

I have a lenovo thinkpad and the built-in webcam does not work. It does not even appear on my device manager (or anywhere on my computer also).

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!

"driver software is a computer program that operates or has a particular type of device that is connected to a computer.

See the device driver

What model of Thinkpad do you use?

Lenovo Web site, click on Support, click on drivers & software, click computers laptops & tablets, select Thinkpad series, select the exact model of Thinkpad, select Machine type and search for the driver and application for the model of your Thinkpad. Download and install the driver for the webcam from here to solve the problem.

  • Integrated on my Satellite T130 webcam does not work

    Hi all

    the built-in on my Satellite T130 webcam does not work.

    I use Windows 7 Home Premium and already reinstalled the drivers of webcam 64-bit through this Web site. However, when I click on the webcam application, simply, nothing happens - program doesn't open at all or turn off instantly. Skype is not also acknowledge a cam. In addition, there is no webcam in Device Manager (a not detected USB device however) and no symbol of cam in the Ribbon of Toshiba quicklaunch, which is like the camera is started according to the "manual".

    Someone has an idea what is the problem? Looks like a common problem according to Google, but no suggestions other than to reinstall the drivers. Perhaps another application blocking the camera? Firewall settings?

    I'd appreciate any help, thank you.

    Best regards Florian

    > a USB not detected if

    Maybe it's the webcam from the webcam is connected to the internal USB controller on the motherboard.

    It looks like a webcam driver is not installed correctly.
    Try the webcam driver released for the satellite t230 or other series of satellites.
    Versions are newer

    Also recommend that you check the BIOS settings.
    In some cases, the BIOS contains a webcam option where the webcam can be turned on and off.

  • Satellite A300-1NO - webcam does not work, but the LED lights

    Hello!

    I have a laptop Satellite A300-1NO, with Win 7 installed. My problem is that my webcam does not work always, when I want to use it. Sometimes, it works perfectly in Skype, WLM etc... but sometimes I see a white or a black screen with a 'loading circle' in there. Blue is the LED light, I can see it in Device Manager too, but there is no picture, just 'loading '. I tried to uninstall the driver and then reinstall it, I installed the new "camera Assistant for Toshiba", without success.

    Is there any solution for this?

    > Is there any solution for this?
    I put t think there is solution for this. If I understand you right there is a problem with software pre-installed. It is not easy to say why this is happening.

    I have Satellite A300 too and use it with Win7 32 bit. Webcam works fine all the time.

    One more thing: have you noticed this problem in the first moments after installing Win7 or later?
    Have you installed something that may be the reason for this?

    Hello
    If Facebook does not recognize your webcam right away when you want to share a video, click on the eye for cameras new button.

    Your Adobe Flash Player settings will be displayed.
    On the tab, make sure you only select the right type of camera you use with your computer.

    On the tab, you may also need to 'allow' Facebook to access your camera and microphone.

    If your settings does not work, try to uninstall Adobe Flash Player on your computer and download the latest Flash Player.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

    1. It worked before? If Yes, you did it all changes before the show?
    2. Are all the device drivers and updates of Windows updated?
    3. Have you tried different USB ports? Has been the result even?
    4. Other USB devices work properly?

    According to the issue description webcam does not work on your DELL computer. The question might be if there is a corruption of USB drivers or drivers need an update. So, try the steps below and see if it helps you to solve the problem.

    If the drivers for any device that is attached to the computer is not updated so there could be a risk that the device would not work, then I would say you to update the drivers of webcam vf-0050.

    1. Click on start.
    2. Type run in Start Search box , and then press ENTER.
    3. In run the Open box, type devmgmt.msc.

  • Satellite A200: After Vista Ultimate upgrade Chicony webcam does not work

    Hello

    I hope someone can help me. For 3 weeks, I have buy the Toshiba A200 with Windows Vista Home Premium and very good built-in Webcam function. I have no problem.

    Yesterday I did an upgrade to Windows Vista Edition full and now the Webcam does not work.
    Every time when I want to launch the following software message come «Please activate the webcam»

    In the it´s control panel that wrote this function of Doesna´t of hardware because the software isn't fair. But I have the right software. I have try the original software on me the hard drive and, of course, I do a download from Toshiba and I try this.
    But I still got the same message.

    Please help me.

    Hello

    I m not an A200 owner and, therefore, I can not say much about this webcam tool, but to my eyes the Chicony webcam software should work with Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, because this version is almost the same as Windows Vista Home Premium. The ultimate version supports more features like Home Premium, but the software is running and must be compatible with both versions of Vista.

    How did you install Vista Ultimate? You perform a new installation of the OS, or you upgrade only the Home Premium-> Ultimate?

    Anyway, currently version 1.0 of the Chicony camera software is available on the Toshiba page.
    You may need to wait until the new update has been published.

    Hey amaury Muñoz.

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forum.

    1. can you please tell us the model number of your computer?

    2. is there a built in webcam or what is the model of your webcam?

    Can you please give us a little more detail on what is the specific error you get when you try to use the webcam?

    Check if you have the drivers installed for your webcam.

    As you say that it is a Dell computer, you will need to go on the http://support.dell.com website to download the driver of your webcam installed.

    Click on support and drivers.

    On the next page, it asks your name and your number.

    Select the exact model of your laptop.

    This will bring up the option to select your operating system. Choose Windows Vista or Windows Vista 64-bit.

    A webcam installed usually appears under the software - multimedia, but it may be different for your model.

    You can choose to install now or download. Once it is downloaded and installed, then test again to see if your integrated webcam works.

    You can also contact Dell for support, since this is a brand new computer. Here is a link to Dell's Support page options:
