Hello

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.

Installation and update of drivers to 7 (update drivers manually using the methods above is preferred
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).

  • 15 - n010TX: my HP Pavilion does not detect the integrated webcam

    Mr President.

    I have an integrated webcam which worked perfectly until recently. My laptop came with Windows 8 in 2013, and I upgraded to 8.1 Windows. However, now my computer is not able to detect the integrated webcam. I know that it's a software problem, because the material could not have been damaged.

    I tried to install software youCam"with the help of the HP Recovery Manager, and it was installed successfully. However, when I open YouCam, it does, "no available camera detected. Please check if the camera is connected and try again. Even Device Manager has no other choice "imaging devices". I guess that something disabled the webcam, and for some reason, no driver is able to turn it back on

    I need to get this camera working. My product name/number is 15-n010TX. Please let me know what I can do...

    Thank you

    Hello

    I have a Sony Vaio SVE14112FXP. A few days ago the integrated webcam doesn't work. The strange thing is that it is not recognized by the administrator of the material, not even as an unknown device. I uninstalled and installed Arcsoft Webcam Suite, which has drivers, but nothing new.
    It seems that the built-in webcam is not connected.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Satellite R630 - integrated webcam does not

    Hello

    I hope someone can help me.

    My built-in webcam on my Toshiba Satellite R630 spontaneously stopped working in the last two weeks.

    I tried:

    -Check if it is enabled in the BIOS and there is no option to select a webcam here.
    -Restore my laptop computer to a previous state when the camera worked. This no longer works.
    -Updated the driver for the webcam - it installs the driver but then it disappears and nothing happens.

    A few things that it might help to know:

    -In Device Manager, "imaging devices" are missing, so I can't find the driver for the webcam here.
    -J' used to get a pop-up whenever I turned on my laptop which was loading a webcam bluetooth but saying that he could not. This stopped happening; I think I turned it off in msconfig.
    -It is not a hardware problem
    -Yesterday, I had a weird time breakthrough - I downloaded an app on my phone to try to use it as a webcam through bluetooth. I had activated bluetooth on my phone and laptop. I plugged my phone into my laptop and the pop-up the camera bluetooth (see previous point) came, but this time worked without the error message. However, instead of my phone works like a webcam, the blue light came next to my integrated webcam and who has started working. I thought it was fixed then all closed and ejected my phone and webcam stopped working again. I tried to repeat this sequence, but with no joy.

    I'm really frustrated and ideas. Can anyone help?

    Hello

    If imagine device isn't listed in Device Manager, it means that the module is not found. Even if the driver is not installed, the module must be included in the BIOS as imagine device, unknown device, etc.
    But this isn't the case

    So I think there are two possibilities: the module's fault or the connection between the module and the motherboard (Controller) isn t put in place.

    As far as I know the internal webcam module is connected to the USB controller.
    If the connection drops (cable) the module will not be recognized in Device Manager

    From my point of few, it must be a nuisance material

  • 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.
