ThinkPad T530 built-in camera does not

Hi people,

I got my thinkpad T530 last week. I tested Skype after you open the box and it works. Then I took off the original 320G HARD drive and put my SSD 830 on it, reinstalled the win8 and blah blah blah.

Last night when I tried to talk to my parents on Skype, I discovered the camera is dead. I tried to do:

(1) according to other threads to uninstall most of the unnecessary drivers.

(2) reinstall the camera driver;

(3) remove the ricoh media driver;

(4) update of the BIOS;

(5) tired to locate someone has said, the problem of the "private life". But the video/camera option is not even appear by Fn + F6;

(6) downloaded and installed the thirdparty AMCAM and it says no camera device are.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do.

Thank you

Problem solved.

This thread has helped.

Generally speaking, it is a fairly common problem among the T530, W530 and similar series.

You need how the bezel and attach the camera w / son.

I spent a whole afternoon to find solutions, install/reinstall drivers, calling the customer and etc.

And this is a new computer.

Just reminder troubleshoot in this order:

  1. Check if the driver is properly installed;
  2. disable the privacy settings by press Fn + F6. Set as 'normal '. If you do not see this option, then just go straight 4 or 5;
  3. Check if a third party application may use the camera (I used Skype); If not,
  4. Check access bios-i/o-If the camera is turned off. If not, 95% is due to the poor design of the camera and cable. you have to be careful, but don't be afraid, this is not as hard as you think.
  5. Take the three bit wide sticker (using a sharp knife) and the three screws off the coast;
  6. reattach the wire connected with the camera. When necessary, you can even remove the camera, clean the port by blowing
  7. Cancel the procedure of posting.

Thoughts:

I don't really know what to say about lenovo QC. I've owned several thinkpads: X60S, X60T, R61, W510 and it most recently bought T530. The camera worked a few days and it just went dead.

sigh.

  • Built-in camera does not

    Hello, the camera on my T-530 does not work. I made a thread on this issue on the Microsoft support site, but I was not able to solve the problem. http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows8_1-hardware/built-in-webcam-not-working-COR...

    When I try to capture video with a program, all I get is this symbol:

    He does it with all the programs I tried like camera, Windows Movie Maker and Skype. Programs can even record video clips and save them, but the only thing that appears is the symbol.

    I tried to change my permission settings. I give you permission to use the built-in camera in Skype, but it does not help. For some reason any I don't have any option to give permission of camera or Movie Maker.

    I have also reinstalled the driver for my camera. Then I ran the center of Lenovo and Lenovo Thinkvantage System Update solutions and put updated everything I could.

    In accordance with the notice that I got from Microsoft technical support I ran hardware troubleshooting, installed all Windows updates I could get, reinstalled the driver for the camera in compatibility mode and updated my BIOS driver.

    After all that, it still doesn't. Any help would be really appreciated!

    Hi Syed,

    Thanks for the reply with the status of the issue.

    I suggest you try to install the drivers for Windows 7 in compatibility mode and check if it works for you. I saw this troubleshooting procedure described working for other members of the community.

    Step 1: Download the driver for the Webcam from this link of Lenovo.

    http://support.Lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?docid=DS015018

    Step 2: Installing the driver in compatibility mode.

    Make the programs more compatible with this version of Windows:

    Hello

    Try doing a system restore. Go to the SEARCH bar and type system restore.
    Once the System Restore screen, select a restore point (it must be before the problem occurred), launch it. Check.
    You can also update the drivers of your computer (the webcam driver). If you do not know how to locate, you can use RadarSync to find out-of-date drivers.

    You probably need to reload the drivers of the device and any camera (general control software
    included with the drivers and installed at the same time).

    Login as an administrator.

    Control Panel - Device Manager - Imaging - write down of the brand and the model of camera - double
    Click on it and on the tab of the driver is version. Now, click on update drivers (who cannot do anything
    that MS is far behind the drivers of certification). The RIGHT CLICK on the camera - UNINSTALL
    -REBOOT - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Now, go to the system manufacturer's website and download the latest driver of the camera and other partners
    the camera software (if not more recent get the same).

    Download - SAVE - go to them and RIGHT CLICK - RUN AS ADMIN - reboot after each
    pilot.

    Manually look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers.

    Then let windows updates on however prevent loading of drivers that are often
    older than those that you have installed. If updates suggests a pilot can HIDE and watch
    manually to see if their really is a more recent version (both system and the manufacturer of the device manufacturer

  • Click camera does not

    Hi all

    I have a 6s model 64 GB iPhone.  For some reason, the click of the camera does not work when you take a normal picture.  If I have a filter or change a square photo, click works fine, its only when I use the photo without filter mode.

    I tried reseting all settings, by turning the lock/keyboard click and outside and adjust the volume of the phone, it just seems to not only work in the scenario above.

    Any ideas on how to fix or is this a known bug?

    Thank you
