Webcam HP Pavilion DV6 has stopped working, it worked before, the message says webcam not started.

The pre installed webcam works perfectly, but somehow, it works now so I;  I have re-insatalled Cyberlink software, but the webcam is not listed in devoce Manager, I get a message saying that the webcam is not started or is not found.  CyberLink Youcam software opens well, but the camera seems not to turn on. Is there a switch for the webcam harware? As there is a work around and turn off the WiFi? Perhaps a system configuration that controls what devices at boot time startup. It's as if the unit is just off, not activated, the close the lens light now, it used to.

Your help will be very appreciated.  How can I activate my WebCam HP pre-installed?

TIA

It comes to my HP Pavilion dv6and the problem of my WebCam suddenly stopping.  I have posted two previous requests for assistance, does NOT see much in the way of answers.

If I had held my breath waiting for some help or answers to this place - I'd be dead now days.  I tried everything I could think of; reinstalled the software, drivers.  But the error message was always the same saying that "the webcam was NOT turned on."  Back, through some other posts, that I could see that others have also had the same problem and all the guys from HP that mentions his HP job; has said was to reistall the software, or choose the webcam in the CyberLink WebCam software. but this option is still grayed out.

So I just bit the bullet, because I had to do in the past.  I took off the inside of the plastic frame for the screen at the top and sides.  I had to unscrew two screws at the bottom of the screen frame to the hinges, under self-adhesive pads oval plastic/rubber.  In the Center, you can see the small Assembly of camera and microphone, with white wires, it will.  At that time, I had to put on a second pair of reading glasses, because the parts are so small.  I finally found a tiny multi wired plug-and - taken right of camera lens Center.  I loosened and then pushed with a small bamboo skewer.  When I buttoned up things up; and restarted the CyberLink WebCam driver program came to light on near the lens and the camera showed a live video image which aimed directly at me.  This plastic frame is very fragile and the two small screws will immediately far jump on the floor that you haven't cleaned vacuuming lately.  Has disappeared!

I must say that I have had absolutely NO help from anyone at HP, I is uncomfortable taking my laptop apart to fix a poorly designed plug/plug obvious for the WebCam.  I like really this computer basically, perfect Beats Audio work for my deafness, I get more and more clear than any other volume laptop that I have tried over the past 20 years.

I added Ram 16GBs of memory, but I have not noticed that much improvement, maybe when I make more digital video, CAD/CAM and photographics.

I hope HP can get the image into the connector on the WebCam release and let us know how to fix it with a technology tech or something.  I tried searching and was NOT able to find the answers for my laptop either, I had the chance-out to allow him to run again, I hope you can get yours working again too.

See you soon,.

  • HP pavilion dv6: HP Pavilion dv6 has stopped working

    Hello

    I have a HP pavilion dv6 i7 - 4 GB RAM model, I bought in 2011. The laptop worked fine until yesterday. But a sudden power cut has caused its judgment as the back of the battery is close to zero. But later when I tried to load and restart, the laptop simply did not. I can see the charge works very well, but none of the lights (power, caps lock, etc.) are on.  Even after using the old method of draining any static battery in the laptop (by pressing Start button / stop for nearly 30 secondds), the portable computer simly does not start. There is no visible boot, that nothing displayed on screen as the laptop itself is not able to start.  I tried to reset the RAM by removing and re - install in accordance with the procedure prescribed by HP. But, still no effect.

    (There is no previous repair/replacement in my laptop. Thus, all parts are those which are authentic HP)

    The situation is completely distraught for me because nothing is displayed on the screen. I have no idea if the laptop is under tension, or not. Although I tried restarting without battery. The results were the same.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    I get an error at the start of the ambient light.  Windows indicates the RL has stopped working and the banner "catalogue Lightroom-opening: OYL6BMP.» LRCAT displayed?  I reinstalled LR but no change.  Anyone can shed light on this issue?

    Gary

    The only effective solution is to reset the file preferences... it has been damaged by trying to create a catalog with the invalid jpeg.

    The instructions to reset the catalog are here: given to zero (or "Screw up") the preferences of Lightroom - Lightroom Forums file

    When you have done this, place you and double click on the correct catalog and LR should then start OK.

  • Fan has stopped working on the satellite

    I've had the laptop for jusy 7 weeks and the fan has stopped working. It always seemed that he ran too to what looks like at full speed almost constantly, but now its stopped.

    I just tried to call the helpline and ended up leaving a message to be recalled. They work on Sunday?

    How long they tend to take to fix these things?

    Hello

    I put t know 100% if they work on Sunday, but I presume that they don t
    However, can you please tell what camera do you use?

    I can t believe that if fans stopped working then the laptop should automatically stops or the CPU overheats! It is very dangerous because the laptop and the motherboard may cause damage.
    So if the fans don't turn you should not turn on the laptop.

    But maybe the cooling modules run only with the lower speed?
    This is not unusual. The BIOS and the energy-saving control the speed of the CPU and cooling modes. Fans should not run with maximum efficiency if the temperature does not increase.
