Webcam on pavilion dv6 not detected and does not load when Cyberlink YouCam opens

I have a built-in webcam and my HP Pavilion dv6 will now display this message with a yellow triangle "no webcam installed".  How can I fix it?  My HP Pavilion really begins to fail.  CyberLink won't let me update software, because he claims that I don't have the full version. Doesn't have installed HP full version with my laptop?

After talking three times to Support HP technicians, I called a neighbor who has much better solutions. HP had me make a recovery (which ended up being useless and superfluous) and then when they could think of no more options, they said, should I back up all my data and do a full system restore. DO NOT TAKE this action until you have tried the following (my neighbor suggested some better options, including this site), but read the next paragraph to see what I ended up doing this WORK!

solutions

After reading through the solutions and try a few other webcam software products, my neighbor suggested I uninstall the webcam using the Device Manager screen. Once you uninstall (say Yes if he asks you again if you want to uninstall the webcam material) then turn off your computer.  Wait a bit, turn it on, let warm up again, then look in the Device Manager, devices, imaging and your webcam should be re-discovered by your laptop. Once he reappears (mine did), analyzes material changes and run the driver updates (I don't remember what order I have them, but I have them).  After that, I reinstalled Cyberlink YouCam and POOF, everything worked fine! Skype was the video once again and everyone's happy.

No need to do a system restore or send the laptop to HP.  I only wish that HP has been able to tell me about this fix...

  • HP Pavilion DV6-2113sa - gel and does not restart.

    Hello

    Sorry, my first post is for help, but I tried to use the really useful post here to diagnose my problem, but I am always sick.

    The problem is that my laptop is freezing up at random times. I've had my laptop for almost 2 years and take care of her well enough although I use it a lot and I had no problem either until a couple of days, when my laptop started to freeze.

    First of all, he does everything on Skype and continued to do so while trying to play a game or surfing the internet. It often freezes when I did click with the mouse, but during a game, it will freeze just by itself.

    During the freeze, nothing responds, and the laptop must be stopped manually. However, if I try to re charge the laptop immediately, he cut all trying to re load and a 1 beep. It seems that I have to wait a minute or two before it is re-load. Another thing I noticed is that if I try to reboot the laptop, it will stop, but once he begins to recharge, it will cut making the same noise beep short 1 and I have to wait several minutes before it shuts down again.

    After talking to a friend who knows more about computers than me, he said it could be the hard drive needs reformatting. I have recorded on my external hard drive and reformatted the laptop provided that the sale to the retail/factory.

    However, he then frozen again while transferring elements of my Ext. HDD.

    I ran a test of memory with MemTest86 who finds no problem and I ran a fitness Test of the disc on the hard drive which has not found no problem either so I a sneaking suspicion that it's unfortunately the motherboard.

    I tried to recover the system new return to the condition of the sale to the retail/factory because the first time I did it, the screen went black while reloading the laptop for 10 minutes so I stopped it manually. He then reloaded after a few minutes of waiting, but as stated, it froze later.

    The last thing I tried was a hard reset and so far this morning of the writing, the laptop has not frozen, but I'm not holding my breath that it's the end of my problems.

    Speccy using, here are my coordinates Tech. :

    About the temperature of the CPU and motherboard, it worked between degreesC 78-92. What is a safe temperature for an II Ultra of AMD Turion?

    The next thing I will try is cleaning the fan from dust using compressed air to see if that cools down the system a little more.

    But as I tried to more advanced options, without success, I feel this wont change anything but I guess it's worth it.

    Apologies for having written a book here, but I thought the most information I provided, the advice/a more accurate diagnosis could be envisaged without having seen the phone in person.

    Does anyone have any ideas of what I could do next, or if they feel that it is the motherboard at fault?

    I have the laptop for repairs (07/04/12) Wednesday, but obviously if it can work again to normal, so it allows me to save a lot of money and hassle!

    Thanks a lot for your time to read this and help in advance!

    Go to Power Options and check the power settings. Give the setting balanced to try. These times are too high, if you just do something light like surfing on the web.

    Your next step: cleaning your laptop of flows and vents is a very good.

    Search the dust or pethair.  Use a can of air compressed to clen the vents. You can buy boxes of air compressed at stores like Walmart, Bestbuy and similar in their departments of PC.

    What are the ambient temperautures where you use Notepad?

    You can be at the point of needing to replace the processor thermal interface materials. That's something normally better done by someone experienced with laptops. If you are willing to take the risk, there are sites like Insidemylaptop , where you will find tutorials on how to disassemble your laptop to replace the equipment of thermal interface of high quality such as OCZ Freeze or Arctic Silver 5 thermal material.

  • 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,.

  • I get this error message 'The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded' when I try to go to Firefox home. I uninstalled the modules, uninstaleed and reinstalled a new fresh firefox which did not help

    I get the following error message 'The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded' when I try to go to firefox home. I uninstalled modules, uninstalled Firefox and then install a new version. Still have the problem.
    Thanks for the help

    This problem may be caused by a corrupt installation of Visual C++ or incomplete (several versions can be installed-by-side; SxS) it lacks certain runtime components (redistributable Packages), which depends on Firefox (problem with an embedded manifest file that specifies a specific runtime version).

    You need to install the missing components (for example, Redistrbutable end 2005 ++).

  • Pavilion dv6-3080si: HP Simplepass does not display a logon to the internet connection screen

    I use the Pavilion dv6-3080si. After a clean install of WIN 10 pro I installed HP fingerprint reader and the HP Digital Persona of HP simplerpass driver & software for my portable computer product number (HP identified automatically the product). There is no problem to connect my laptop. However, when I try to configure the password for Web sites, such as for example my Bank, it does not work. There is a small icon that appears to scan fingerprints, and he said "It is not a logon screen" though I am to the logon screen.

    Some recommendations published by members of Forums Support HP, I installed the version of HP 4.5.228.0 and worm 6.0.10.276 Simplepass fingerprint reader and even once, I found myself with the same problem. No idea why it doesn't work? Is there a problem with Win 10 and IE 11?

    Thanks for you help. However, I installed Authentec simplepas worm. 8.01.11 sp 66143 and fimgerprint player ver 4.5.228.0 MS 66110. Everything works perfectly now.

    your first mistake is to use the laptop on your lap. In the manual it says do not for this. never. Looks like your laptop is random questions causing overheating (probably by something blocking the ventilation openings) with the system board. If it is under warranty. maintenance operation.
