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.

    Hey monkeymanknitting

    1st thing is to see if it is compatible with vista

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/

    If it's trying to do a right-click on the setup.exe then run as administrator

    If this is not vista compatible read below

  • Drivers for a Deskjet 3050 J610a will be dependent not on a HP PC with Windows 7 (64 MB).

    Drivers for a Deskjet 3050 J610a will be dependent not on a HP PC with Windows 7 (64 MB).  Went through all the steps of self-help without result; any suggestions?  Thank you.

    OK, I wanted to just make sure the correct standard troubleshooting had been done. Because it does not sound like a system problem (this is why a system restore has been previously recommended), I recommend that you try a tool launched by Microsoft called Fixit.

  • Webcam "IT is not" for Compaq Presario CQ62 215DX.

    I have YouCam 4 upgrade, and he says:

    No Webcam detected. Try connecting a webcam on your computer now. If you use a built-in camera, make sure it is turned on.

    My thing is that I don't know how to turn it on. Also, in the Device Manager, there is no imaging devices if that helps. I've had this computer for almost a month and has had this problem since day one. I called Technical Support and it me did not help at all to solve my problem. He said it's a "manufatcuring issue that cannot be resolved." I'm ready to fix it can so someone help me?

    * Yes this product has a microphone & and webcam too.

    Just like the HP technology, it's a 'manufacturing defect that cannot be resolved. I gues meaning is its built in this way. They cannot send you a webcam material because it came not with the computer in the first place. The glass like thing that you see on top is really a hole for the webcam. But you don't have the equipment for this. You must buy the built in webcam to adapt it.

    If you want to ensure that this is not not a hardware issue, consider reformatting windows. It is not an imaging device after reformatting, theres really no webcam is built in.

  • 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!

    Hello:

    I looked towards the top of the list of the parts for your model and it is said that it comes with a Qualcomm-Atheros wireless card.

    It would be the W8.1 BT driver and software you need for this card.

  • Integrated motion Eye webcam does not work after installation of own Windows 7 64 - bit (Sony VAIO VGN-AR770)

    Hi, I'm having so much worse for my webcam to work again after a clean installed Windows 7 64-bit (I used to run 32-bit vista). I searched the net and found many many people with the same problem but no solution yet that works for me. My last attempt:

    I manually installed these drivers recommended on this forum: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-hardware-devices/1135698.htm

    With the help of the method 'have disk '. Installation seemed to happen, but no program does not recognize my webcam. Skype, for example, seems to work, but the video is just black.

    In Device Manager > features the webcam is listed as "RY5U870/VGA-CAM F01_UVC of Imaging.
    "and noted that"this device works fine."" Many people have suggested to try to download the originals and installation using Vista compatibility, but I can't get these drivers to 64-bit, and when I download the 32-bit drivers, unfortunately they do not work.

    I understand that I hit a wall here on my laptop model Sony support (now obsolete), but I feel that there must be a work around that people found out there somewhere. Can someone help me get my webcam goes again?
