Lenovo s10-2 won't detect camera

Hello, I've had my lenovo s10-2 for a couple of months and the camera was working fine and then it stopped working it. It does not detect it any more. Any advice?
I have windows XP home edition and SP2

A family member of mine has the same problem on his S-10. I've been researching the dickens out of this.
Finally determined that if I opened the lid (display) about half way, the camera would be found and connected as if I plugged it in to the USB. Camera worked too.
I took the unit apart and found the very fine wires bound in a woven sheathing that connect the USB camera to system board go right past the hinge in a somewhat precarious way. And with enough opening and closing the display they apparently frey as I believe has happened in this case and ultimately break.
Note part #4 in this picture. This camera cable "44C9901" would need to be replaced.

Unless you have experience with laptop repair and/or are certified with Lenovo devices, I would not recommend you try to repair this yourself.
This S10 is not much beyond a year old. It is used opened/closed and used multiple times daily. Bottom line. The design isn't what it should be.

Computer won't detect camera

All of a sudden my computer won't detect my Rebel XT. I replaced the USB cord but nothing is even detected in "My Computer" or in the Device Manager. I am sure that the USB ports work properly as they work with other devices. I reinstalled the software it came with and tried changing the communication settings on the camera. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hello!
To ensure the most accurate information is provided, we will need to know the version of Windows you are using.
Thanks and have a great day!

Lenovo S10-2 won't start. Help!

Hello All!
Have a problem with my wife's Lenovo S10-2. Yesterday, after a 8-10 hours of netbook's inactivity (w/o heavy tasks), I found it deadly hanged. I turned it off by pressing a Power button by ~5 secs.
After turning on again, I see only blank screen with non-blinking cursor at top-left corner. No Lenovo's splash screen, no beeps, no reaction on F2 or other keys. It's still can be powered off by pressing Power for 5 secs.
Note: the cooler starts up with power on, but stops at same time as the blank screen with cursor appears.
Removing HDD and GSM card did not bring any effect. W/o RAM, netbook also doesn't say any beeps, but the screen is all black, with no backlight.
Tried to clear CMOS by removing a battery, power cord and pressing Power by 60 secs. No changes at all.
I also tried to enter BIOS recovery mode by pressing Fn-B while connecting power cord w/o battery. It starts with cooler working constantly, black screen (as described), but still no beeps. No SD or USB activity too -> no BIOS ROM search on external media.
The cursor is not blinking, does it mean anything? Could it be hanged by overheating in 2-3 seconds after power on?
I saw similar problems ten years ago with Intel Celeron 600, which halted after 8-10 seconds after powering on, because there were no thermal grease on CPU at all.
Any suggestions? What should I check?
P.S. Sorry for bad English, that's not my native language)

hi cdf.
i don't have s10-2 but as i remember it comes with soldered and another ram stick. it usually happens when the soldered ram is out of order but not sure what your problem really is.
still, whatever your issue is you will need hardware support cause you tried all of the suggestions that i may suggest. if you have valid warranty, contact lenovo support line for possible mainboard replacement.
hope this helps.

Lenovo b50-45 won't detect my r5 m230 video card

Hello everyone....I have a problem with my laptop...I just bought it few weeks ago and it can't detect my r5 graphic card. I downloaded all drivers from lenovo official site but..it still won't work...I'm running windows 7 64 bit.
When I opened device manager->display adapters, I can see just this (see picture below)
http://i.imgur.com/YDAr9amh.png
Also I did check the bios setings and it's set as switchable graphic...Can anyone help me with that?
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you specifically ordered a B50-45 with an AMD Radeon R5 M230 then yes, you will need to contact the place of purchase (if it's still possible to get a replacement unit) as you definitely received a different model.

Mac won't detect camera.

I accidently asked about this in the iphone section. My bad. I skimmed through the site and decided to ask here. I'm new to the site so bare with me. I'm sure there are dozens of threads on this site asking things like this but I'll ask anyways. My Mac will not detect my Sony Handycam. It is a Sony DCR-HC28. I have it connected to a Firewire USB chord into my Mac. My Mac is version 10.5.8. I opened iMovie and when I click the camera icon the only option it gives me is for the built in iSight. No option for the camera. I googled and tried a few suggestions but to no luck. I checked System Profiler and found nothing. Charged my camera and rebooted my computer. Got nothing. Unplugged and replugged. Nothing. Any tips??? Is it possible because my Firewire connects through the USB port rather than the Firewire port that it won't work??? I could sure use the help.

Here's a pic of the kinda chord I'm using. It's a Firewire that plugs into USB. If you look closely you can see the USB symbol on the plug.

Flash won't detect Cameras, but works on Chrome

Updated to flash 11.0.1.152, now any web chat site that uses flash can only detect the built in iSight camera - none of the other cameras that I have attached. Flash detects all cameras while using Chrome, but not Firefox. Does anyone know why it doesn't work with Firefox?

When I open those links, I get blank pages. I wonder if they are uploaded properly. The MP3 should play directly in my browser and I should see player controls to start and stop the movie, but I don't see them. To see if the flash movie actually loads, you could give it a background color like red or yellow. If you don't see that, it means you didn't upload it or something went wrong. When I rightclick in a working Flash movie, I see a different context menu with options like "zoom in". I can't do that anywhere, which makes me suspicious.
So I tested using HTTPFox (Firefox addon) and got the following results, which means both files are problematic, so they are not uploaded properly.

Wvc80n won't install past detecting cameras

Why won't this camera install past detecting cameras. It stops everytime and I've tried all the fixes? I have a Qwest router and I am running Windows 7.

Adjust the wireless channel of your network. Try all available networks and choose the one with the best result. You can use apps/tools like inSSIDer or Wifi Analyzer to choose which network will work best for your wireless network.

10.5.8 won't detect any external hard drives

I want to update my 10.5.8 Macbook Pro which I bought in 2008. It runs incredibly slow, and I want to reformat it before updating with Snow Leopard. The problem is that my computer won't detect any external disc drives, so I can't back up my important files. Is there any way to fix this, or is there something I'm missing?
I'm also wondering if I'll be able to reformat without my original OSX install disc that came with my computer, and if so, how? Thanks in advance.

If you are going to be upgrading to OS X Snow Leopard, the installer for that should be able to format your drive for you before you do the installation. I'm assuming that you have those CD's for your computer as you need discs to be able to ugrade to Snow Leopard. What happens when you plug in an external drive? Does it just not recognize the drive, or do you just not have it selected to show the drive on your desktop? With Finder being the top window, click on the Finder Menu and select preferences > select general in the tabs at the top and then make sure that External discs is checked.

ActiveSync won't detect my Treo 750

Help!!
I started with Windows Mobile 5 before with Activesync 4.2 and it worked just fine.
a year ago, I updated my palm with WM 6 and Activesync 4.5 and it worked just fine.
Recently, I have got new laptop from my company and try to re-install activesync.
During the process, I accidentally deleted the connection in my palm and everything is gone!!!
I tried to install activesync 4.5 in my new laptop and try to connect them, however, activesync won't detect my device. It did not even charge my mobile.
Curious enough, I tried to connect it with my other laptop at home (using Activesync 4.5) and it did not detect the device as well. Running out of idea, I removed Activesync in my home laptop and install Activesync 4.2. Try to connect and it worked!!! However, an error message came out saying that I need to have ActiveSync 4.5 to synchronize with WM 6.
I uninstall the ActiveSync 4.2 and install 4.5 in the laptop and try to synchronize again. But this time, same situation happens again where Activesync did not recognize my device!!!
What to do, I am running out of idea. Help me please...
Michael
Post relates to: Treo 750 (AT&T)

I went through all the recommended steps I found online and spent 2 hours with palm support and 1 hour with Dell support and still was unable to connect my att palm treo 750 using activesync when I had successfully done so in the past. I am using a treo 750 with winmobile 5 ver and activesync 4.2 connecting to win XP pro. I would see the phone in my device manager but it would not connect. This is what I discovered that fixed my problem and not just on my Dell computer but another computer I have as well. I would go into the phone to Start/Settings/Connections Tab and found USB to PC and check the box to allow advanced connections. I would then remove the battery. unplug the USB cable and reinstall the battery. After phone boot up, plug usb in and attempt connection again and it would fail. Again open on the phone the Start/Settings/Connections Tab and found USB to PC and uncheck the box to allow advanced connections. If connection fails (it probably will) pull battery from phone and unplug USB. reinstall battery to reboot phone then plug the USB cable back in. My device would again connect.. This needs to be done every once in a while because of the buggy phone and/or activesync software. I hope this helps anyone and prevents them from wasting as much time as I have on keeping an otherwise good phone in sync with an xp computer. Peace and long live a free internet and quality software....

Imovie HD don't detect camera

iMovie HD 6 does not detect camera and it does not capture
what I can do?
Sorry my misspelling, and thank youu!!

Please sit down, it's bad news!
If this is the one:
http://www.trustedreviews.com/camcorders/review/2007/09/15/Sony-HDR-SR8E-Camcord er/p1
then you will never get it to work with iMovie 5 or 6.
Connectivity options are comprehensive, too, including HDMI and component for attaching to HDTVs, plus A/V with composite and S-Video plus RCA audio for regular TVs. All of these are output only, however, so you won't be able to dub analogue sources to AVCHD. The HDMI connection is also a proprietary small socket, and no adapter is supplied.
It uses AVCHD's MPEG-4 H.264 AVC compression. Only iMovie 7 (Part of iLife 8) can accept that format, and do so via USB. But that format is not really intended for further editing.
So, either upgrade to iLife 8 or change the camera!

HP Pavilion dv6 card reader won't detect some SDHC cards

Notebook Hp Pavilion dv6-6104so
Windows 7 - 64 bits
The notebook's card reader won't detect some of our SDHC cards. We have updated the driver to the latest version, Realtek PCIE 6.1.7601.90, and the BIOS, but it still won't recognize some of our cards.
We have six SDHC cards, three SanDisk (4, 32 and 32 GB), two Kingston (8 and 8 GB) and one Integral (4 GB). The card reader recognizes four of them (4 and 32 GB SanDisk cards and one of the two Kingston cards). What is strange and that you may have already noticed is that the card reader recognizes only one of two cards with the same brand and capacity!
About the two cards that don't get recognized in our notebook, they work properly in their corresponding cameras and are detected without problems by another HP Pavilion dv6-3138so notebook card reader, as well as by two netbooks of ours from two different brands.
When we connect the cameras (one Canon and one Sony, both point-and-shoot) to the computer via a USB 2.0 cable, the laptop detects the cameras and through them we can access the cards.
We purchased the laptop less than two weeks ago in Helsinki, Finland.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hey Everyone,
Using a high capacity card in a standard card reader slot will cause this issue. Im going to guess that the cards you ar having issues with are the SDHC cards and not the standard SD cards. As Naoto stated, by using a camera as a card reader you an workaround this. You can also look into SDHC card reader adapters. Here is a good article on the SDHC cards: http://goo.gl/lj5Fq
Hope this helps!

Help! Computer won't detect mic unless webcam is plugged in...

Has this happened to anyone else? I have 2 different headsets and my computer won't detect the microphone on either on unless the webcam is plugged in. It doesn't seem to have any problem with the speakers, but I can't use the mic until I plug in the webcam. Please help! This is really annoying!!
Oh, and I'm using Windows Vista, and the Live! Cam Notebook Pro (VF0400) with the headset that came with it and another headset (not a Creative headset).
Message Edited by triciater on 11-28-2007 11:33 PM

hm... yes! you have same problem as me. I can't change to another mic till webcam is plugged. And this is due to the fact that the webcam has a built-in microphone inside.Moreover in my case, it must be another problem too, because the other person with who I talk hear sometimes a strong noise. I need to change microphone in the Skype options (I go to the Microsoft Microphone, even if it can hear nothing) and I go back on the mic of the cam. The noise disappear for some moments... after again and I do the same.Could someone help us?For me it would be nice to deactivate the mic of the cam and use an headset that doesn't give this noise problem.

My X230 won't detect any USB devices..

hello all,
I'm from Indonesia, a few days ago I bought lenovo X230 5FA.. but every I pluged in every USB devices, it won't detect on my x230..
the devices is:
1. Sandisk Cruser Swicth 16GB.
2. USB Modem Huawei E169.
note that I use the latest driver provided by the web support device..
can anyone help to fix it?
thanks and sorry if my english not good :-P

What operating system are you running on your E330 and X230?
The answer may be found by figuring out why it works on the E330...
Have you tried to use any other devices in the USB ports besides those 2?
And were the recognized?
Did these devices ever work with your X230?
You could try to roll back to a previous driver update and see if that helps?
