Webcam driver missing

Hi all

My presario cq60 111em with integrated webcam now has a problem when l launch youcam a message appears that the webcam is not reconised and I can't find it with the Device Manager, wondered if the driver is missing ideas.

Xorex,

OK ideas...

This link at the bottom of my first post has all the standard "Difficulty" of solutions...

Here's the skinny I learned here on the forum:

Read, read, read...

This forum is full of stories of webcam... You can find: the hotfix, if there is one, is usually in the update of the driver. Go to the search window and type "webcam." Sort by date, if you wish...

The capers of Bios:

Sometimes - apparently - there is a BIOS update that fixes it. I'm not a fan of the BIOS update unless noted. You must be sure to update your bios with update YOUR bios. Download the update to the BIOS of your computer and not someone of another link Web site. If you do this, you'll be fine. He can't fix your webcam, but at least you don't turn your computer into a fancy, expensive paper weight. We have some very good experts HP here on the forum that can (and do) recommend BIOS links and they can trust: my point is do not use a link to someone of another computer unles this computer corresponds EXACTLY to your computer. If there is an update to the BIOS of your computer, it will be the Web site of your computer and you can find it easily. Once again, it may or may not fix the webcam.

The son and other misfortunes:

The other thing that happens to these webcams is that they fail sometimes simply due to material. Sometimes it's the small wires that are loose. If your laptop is no longer under warranty and you have the skills to do it, you might consider to disassemble the laptop and checking the wires. This is not your average employment DYI - this is another way to make a fancy paper weight, cheap if you don't know what you're doing. However, it is not on the upper end of difficulty as repairs go. Some laptops have hardware very good manuals online, and there are a few very good videos YouTube there on repairs.

It SWAT:

There is a story (here in the forum) about someone who killed her webcam into submission. It is not recommend it and admits to anger management issues - it's a testament to this problem of loose thread. I bought a dv7t last summer and had to return for repair: webcam is DOA out of the box. It's sad.

Sneak to the top

Sometimes, it's the WAY the driver is loaded. You might be able to fool it. Try to install it from SWSetup (how you did this time) and it starts. IF it is a software, you will be able to NOW, delete it and then install the NEW one since the version downloaded . NOT the SWsetup a new website - DELETE one that you have.

Were still hesitating? Always in the hope it is software? Get in the Device Manager, remove the driver - delete it.

Clean the registry. Reset. Install the driver downloaded on the Web page.

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

Registry Cleaner, CCleaner (select and install the free version):

http://www.Piriform.com/ccleaner/download

NOTES on registry cleaners :

Registry cleaners won't usually hurt - however, whenever you assign the registry with changes, you risk your system stability. CCleaner includes the offer to make a backup of your registry before making any changes.

If you choose to download and install another registry cleaner, please Uninstall CCleaner. One of these things on the system at once is enough...

If a Registry Cleaner does not offer to make a backup before making changes: don't forget to EXPORT you the registry manually before using the vacuum cleaner. If something happens that you don't expect, you will have an extra layer of protection allowing to withdraw.

IMO: Stay away from Registry Mechanic. I had this on my systems - it is cleaned, removed, eliminated and dropped in the bucket zeros. It is a personal Opinion.

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

Give up and buy a Clip on:

I've written a few posts on this angle. HP made a good (buy them a cheap, it's a waste of plastic) - Logitec makes great webcams... There are others. Just do it and move...

If I come with anything else useful and magical, I'll add it!

Good luck!

HP Pavilion g6 - disconnected webcam / hand driver missing?

Product name: HP Pavilion g6

Product number: A3A09EA #ABU

Dear HP support,

My problem is as follows:

A day that I realized that I can't use my built in camera more. I tried reinstalling original preinstalled software Cyberlink Youcam, but as you might assume if it worked - I wouldn't be here. Then I tried according to HP troubleshooting guide. The problem is that there is no category called "Imaging devices" at all.

I can place two bets on what might actually happen:

(a) I managed to remove the HP webcam 101 driver base. Is the exact name of the device: USB\VID_05C8 & PID_021E & MI_00

(b) internal unit itself broke down (it has not disconnected issue of cord - made sure that myself)

I think I could try to install base driver for the camera, the problem is I can't find a / can't find a reliable source. Can you send me / download for me? How to proceed in this case, do you have any suggestions?

Hey @RacA ,

Welcome to the HP Forums!

I understand that the webcam no longer works on your laptop.

Make sure that when you are in Device Manager you are hidden display devices. (View > show hidden devices.) If the webcam is missing, it is possible that the Acquisition of Image Windows service is damaged or does not work. To ensure that this service is on a start-up automatic and non-disabled.

The CyberLink YouCam software only allows an extended webcam support and does not contain real pilots. Drivers are generic enough and come directly from Windows.

I suggest you restore the laptop to a time where he worked, and if it does not reinstall Windows before you replace the webcam. To restore or recover tap the F11 key, while the portable lights to access the HP Recovery Manager.

Hope this helps!

Satellite P70-A-104 - cannot find webcam driver for Win 8.1

Hello

I installed a 2nd HDD with Win 8 Pro 8.1.
I've also downloaded all the drivers available for my model P70-A-104, but there is no driver available for the built-in WebCam FHD Toshiba. I also checked the other models from Toshiba with camera of 2 MBit FHD.

Is there someone who knows where to download the correct driver? I know there are some tools for the driver updates (25-30 US$), but they do not display the missing web cam driver.

As much as I know there is no webcam driver for Win and no driver webcam for win 8.1 because s webcam notebook module is controlled by internal Microsoft driver provided with 8 Win / Win 8.1

Question: do you have any yellow exclamation point in Device Manager? I guess that the webcam is listed here...

Satellite A30 - ACPI driver missing

Hello
I have an old A30 that I just installed Win7 on. Everything is fine apart from a missing driver - unknown device ACPI

In Device manager the hardware ID is ACPI\CMP0101

Now this laptop fan lights not bad and she has a random problem to close without reason. I checked the fans and they are clear. In my view, that stops can be connected to this driver missing because it can control the temp/fans that stop it overheating, and then I could be wrong...

I would appreciate any help and advice

Thanks in advance

Hello

Are you sure that you want to use Windows 7 on this computer laptop oldie? In my opinion, you should be happy with a preinstalled OS to Toshiba. There are all the drivers and tools pre-installed and you don t have the stress with the driver installation. You can have fun with your laptop :)

As you can see in another thread, you must reinstall Windows to solve this problem:

Satellite A300-1MC: webcam not working no-webcam driver open failed

After looking through this forum, I tried many "solutions" but to no avail.

After trying to load the webcam, I get the message: "Webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer.

I tried to update the software driver for the camera and updated the BIOS.

This message keeps coming up again. It is better to uninstall the camera attemtping completely and then reinstall?

Sorry if this doesn't make much sense, im not entirely 'computer savvy '.

I hope someone can help,

Thank you
Ben

> Is it the camera attemtping completely uninstalling then reinstalling?
Of course!

You should first go to Device Manager and need to uninstall the driver.
You must also remove the software from Control Panel-> software

After that, you must clean the BONES and the registry using CCleaner. It s tool free google
Then restart the laptop several times and reinstall the webcam software.

See you soon

Since then, I tried everything that comes to my mind, but I think that the cam or the microphone appear in Device Manager. I also have the for Toshiba recovery disc.

Hello

Hmm, do you mean that the cam is not listed in Device Manager
Or an unknown device, or near a yellow exclamation?

Sounds like delivers material but try to recover the laptop using the recovery disk.
If this will not help, it means that there must be something wrong with the cam

I read on the net that some people have a similar problem.
The webcam worked when opened the lid of the laptop only to halfway.
But webcam disappeared when the lid has been moved upwards.
Maybe there is a loose contact between the cable and the cam
In this case the ASP technician must check the laptop.

Thank you

Hello

I completely agree with Akuma you should try Windows 7 beta driver for the Chicony webcam from the Toshiba page we:
http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com

But do not forget that Windows 7 isn't out yet so it s a little difficult to get drivers tested for it.

In addition, it would be interesting to know if the same thing happens with the factory settings.

Good bye

You can find all the drivers on the Toshiba page:

At present, there is no Windows 7 driver for webcam but you can try the Vista driver. It work?

If this isn't the case, you can download the Windows 7 driver for another model A300. Normally, it should also work on your model.
