ThinkPad E520 - camera has stopped working

Hello

I have been using the utility of Communications (Lenovo - Web Conferencing) when I bought the laptop a few months ago, everything was fine. But now when I press F5 (shortcut key for camera options) there is a pop up with massage "Utility Communication UI hand has stopped working".

Everything is fine in Device Manager.

Is this a hardware problem? Is there a way to check?

Hey, Ante.

try to install the utility of communication as well as pilots of the unit; Then go to http://support.lenovo.com - download both software and reinstall.

It's the first thing I did, and it did not help.

After some troubleshooting I finally decided to use Windows Recovery - restore the system to an earlier time, I went up to what worked Communication Utility (camera). I had save steps 3 and 4.

I think that the problem happened after I uninstalled a few programs of Lenovo ThinkVantage (Toolbox; Power Manager and access connections).

I hope this helps someone...

  • Button ThinkPad 8 Windows has stopped working

    All of a sudden the Windows button has stopped working (no haptic feedback). The Tablet works otherwise, I can always power on it by the power button / stop. Unfortunately, the button power seems to be fragile and probably collapses when it is used on a daily basis.

    Someone has an idea if possible otherwise remedy that is rented for a month in the repair? A loose connector, or something like that? I don't think that it may be a software issue.

    Thank you.

    First Windows button has stopped working, but now, after several weeks, the touchscreen so. I got replacement touch screen cable AP HM 00, 124 of the Lenovo service replacing the cable has solved.

    I guess that's a design flaw , because the cable is longer than it supposed to be (see photo) so it becomes distorted and there caused by a variable pressure on the bottom when cover stand by the fingers on the lower part of 3 mm approximately. Fixation by band does not help, because it always "bubbles" somewhere I hope that this will happen again sooner or later these other two cables (audio connector and display) is not the issue.

  • Why my iPhone 5 c rear camera has stopped working?

    I got my iPhone 5 c last Christmas and it has been fine for the verbal time. I realized my camera back no longer works. Before everyone tells me to reset, I tried so many things, I talked to apple and all, nothing seems to work. My iPhone has got out of the shell once or two, if this is useful.

  • Re: Satellite L450D-11 X built in Web Cam has stopped working

    When I open the Toshiba Photo / Video software I just get a photo of clouds. The webcam led turns on but I have no image.
    I aircrcrack and installed the latest version of the webcam software, but have the same problem. I removed the Chicony usb camera from the Device Manager and rebooted.
    The pc has re - install the driver software, but I still have no picture.
    All of the suggestions.
    Thank you

    Hello

    Maybe you should try it;
    In Control Panel-> devices and printers, you will see the webcam listed as working device.
    We could remove the webcam and could attempt to reinstall the driver again.

    I'm not sure if it would make a difference because you have already tried to delete this device manager but it of certainly worth a try.

  • Bridge "get photos from camera" has stopped working and bridge no longer recognize my DNG files

    , I've got bridge set up to get the pics off mem.card whenever I have insert one in my laptop (win. 8.1). A week ago I installed PlayMemories from Sony. Without asking he hijacked the task of the bridge to get photos of my cards. What's worse, I tried to start the function "get photos from camera" manually from the deck. Bridge started working, but nothing happens. I uninstalled PlayMemories and reset the bridge, said to my laptop to run bridge as soon as I insert a card. Still nothing is happening and I still can't get the function "get photos" to run manually from the bridge. In any case, I can still rund the DNG Converter to get my photos, but today Bridge does not recognize my files DNG - a well brought yesterday.

  • import of vio - pov cam divx files hangs: "COM surrogate has stopped working".

    Windows vista 64 4 GB of ram, 2.1 mhz

    First elements 9

    Import divx .avi VIO pov camera file blocks adobe PE9 with message: COM surrogate has stopped working.

    If I uninstall divx then PE9 won't crash, but only audio is present.  VIO said correct codec must be obtained from Adobe.  Is there a fix for this so that my $100 is not lost?

    Unfortunately, DivX and Xvid are not well taken in charge, or not at all. Some have had better luck with pre 9.0.1, but they are few.

    In order to ensure that things are as good as they get, I follow the steps described in this ARTICLE and also make sure you have the latest version of the DivX CODEC installed.

    Of CyberLink PowerDirector seems better to work with images of DivX, than does any program Adobe NLE.

    Good luck

  • iTunes has stopped working / Win10 64

    Hello

    I have a problem running iTunes on 64-bit Windows 10. (Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga 12)

    As soon as I click on the iTunes Store tab, the program crashes and I get the message "iTunes has stopped working, Windows is checking for a solution to the problem..." and after a few seconds he said "a problem caused blocking the program works correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. »

    I have already tried:

    Complete uninstallation of all programs Apple, including the deletion of all files, and then reinstall it.

    If I do this, the installation fails. He tells me that the bonjour service cannot be started.

    That's why I opened archive installation with 7-zip and has just installed iTunes and support the application. That worked well, but I still get crashes.

    I don't know what else I could try and you'd be grateful for any help!

    Thank you and best what is the Switzerland

    The 12.3.3.17 version seems to cause problems for some people. It may be best to roll back to the last version of iTunes that has worked for you. then wait for the following. See the programs installation of iTunes to download links. If you're back from 12.3.3.17 to 12.3.2.35, then you must also restore the database of the library in the manner described in the empty/corrupted after upgrade/crash iTunes library.

  • Satellite T130: integrated webcam has stopped working

    Hi, I have the same problem of the bellows of the question, as I looked around and I was not able to find the answer I need.
    I have a Satellite T130 and, suddenly, the integrated webcam has stopped working properly. A blue light is on, but there is no picture. What can I do?
    Thank you

    Hi mate

    I have the same problem, sometimes using my U400.
    This happens if the room is dark for the camera.
    If something like this happens to you that I recommend that you keep your finger in front of the webcam for a short period.
    After that, the image of the webcam should come back again in my case it worked.

    Hello

    The anomaly can be related to different laptop parts in the worst case the liquid spill damage the motherboard and you will need to replace the part.
    In the best cases, it could be a RAM error as it happens to one of my friends.
    He spilled coke on the keyboard and after awhile the laptop could not turn on.
    We checked memory sharp and replaced both modules with new RAM modules and this fixed the problem

    You can try this also maybe it helps if all other parts should be checked by a technician of the ASP.
