My laptop no longer detects my built in webcam

I have an HP G60-635DX notebook. I have a built in webcam which I have used several times before, but now all of a sudden my laptop is not even detecting I have a built in webcam. What to do? I have a Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Webcam. It bums me out. It is the only way I can talk to my boyfriend face to face while he is out of town and now it is not even working!

OK, to start with, may I know if you can you check using webcam with Cyberlink Youcam Software & if webcam is listed in device manager under imaging device....
To get to device manager, follow the below steps:
Click on the Start button and then choose Control Panel.
Click on the System and Security icon.
Note: If you're viewing the Large icons or Small icons view of Control Panel, you won't see this link. Simply click on Device Manager and then proceed to Step 4.
In the System and Security window, click on the Device Manager link located under the System heading.

My HP Pavilion doesn't detect the built-in webcam

Sir, I have a built-in webcam that used to work perfectly until recently. My Laptop came with Windows 8 in 2013 and I upgraded it to Windows 8.1. However, now my computer is not able to detect the built-in webcam. I know it's a software problem because the hardware couldn't have been damaged. I have tried installing the 'youCam software' with the help of HP recovery manager, and it was successfully installed. Still, when I open YouCam, it says, "No available camera detected. Please check if camera is connected and try again". Even device manager has no 'imaging devices' option. I guess something turned the webcam off, and for some reason, no driver is able to turn it back on I need to get that camera working. My product name/number is, 15-n010TX. Please let me know what I can do.. thank you

Try a hard reset as follows:
1) Remove the battery and unplug the DC power adapter.
2) Press and hold the power button for more than fifteen seconds.
3) Plug in the DC power adapter (leave the battery out for now)
4) Press the power button

Laptop no longer detects MG2520

The first time I installed my printer like a breeze, after that I've had trouble with it since. Last time installing a new driver worked, but I've tried that this time and it still didn't work. I uninstalled the whole printer thinking I could get it set back up, but my laptop, Dell Windows 8, won't detect the thing and now it won't set up because of it. -.- Please help!

Vista laptop no longer works with Google Hangout. I have tried several versions of Firefox from 16 to 19.

I have an HP DV9000 series laptop. I have used it with Firefox for google hangouts in the past, but with several updates, it no longer works. The built in webcam works with dedicated software but is not detected by the googletalk plugin. I have loaded several older versions of Firefox and none seem to work. Is this an issue with Firefox or the googletalk plugin? Thanks!

thanks, but it did not help. I have re-installed and reset firefox and googletalk. In the googletalk chat settings, the webcam and microphone are not recognized. The camera works fine with Youcam.

Windows XP is no longer detecting the iphone

Out of the blue my desktop is no longer detecting or charging my iphone. It doesn't show up in device manager either.
I have reinstalled all software,drivers and no luck. All services are running.
It works fine on my laptop and charges fine on the wall charger.
I have tried my friends iphone on the desktop and it also does not get detected, so I assume it has to be some software problem.. Any ideas?

Hello,
I have a similar problem now. Only addition is that the phone itself is not working either and when i connect to comp it results in opening of 'Found New Hardware wizard'
Did you find solution to your problem???

My MBP 7,1 wifi connection suddenly stopped working. It was working fine before until the battery emptied. I turned it on but it froze so I tried to reset it. Then, after that it no longer detect any wifi signal in any areas I go.

Hi Everyone. My MBP 7,1 didn't have any wifi issues not until 2 weeks ago. The laptop's battery got empty and when I tried to turned it on, the computer just froze. So I tried to reset it. However, I noticed that the wifi or airport can no longer detect any wifi signal. There were instances that it wouldn't turn on when I shut it off but now, it seems okey. I tried the zapping of PRAM and deleting all the things needed as I saw in different threads but it still not working. The ethernet works fine but I still need the wifi. Its been 2 weeks already. I don't have an Apple Store near me coz I am in southern part of Philippines. Can someone shed light on this? Thank you so much.

Hi!! To add more to the issue, the other day, my airport card is nowhere to be found. It now says no airport card installed which is really crazy. I also noticed that my MBP freezes during start up and I had to zap the PRAM so it would open up. Anyone there who experienced the same thing? I'd really appreciate your suggestions. Thanks!

My built-in webcam is not being detected by CyberLink Youcam on Windows 7 (HP Pavilion dv2660se)

Hi, I bought this laptop from someone I know, and Windows 7 came with it. I must say I don't know much about electronics. The built-in webcam won't work, either on CyberLink YouCam or on MSN Messenger. On CyberLink Youcam, it says no webcam is detected. In the control panel it doesn't even say there's a webcam, but there's an 'unknown peripheric' though. What can I do? P.S.: Please forgive english mistakes if there's any.

Hi I have exactly the same problem. My webcam was working for months but I recently had the laptop sent for repairs for something else, and I've just noticed since having it back that the webcam isn't detected. When going into the webcam program it says there is no webcam detected and for integrated cameras, make sure it is switched on. I've also had an unknown USB device notification flashing up but when I investigate in Device Manager I have in 'Sound, video and game controllers' Cyberlink Youcam virtual driver installed and 'functioning properly' Also in USB devices there is a usb not functioning properly "Universal Serial Bus Controllers / (Standard USB Host controller) / Port_#0002.Hub_#0003" and 'no drivers have been loaded for this device'. It's unknown but when I choose to search manually for driver updates the path it directs me to is C:\Program Files (x86)\Realtek\NICDRV_8169\win7 'Windows has stopped this device as it has reported problems (Code 43)' Does anyone know what I might be able to do? I've tried reinstalling the Webcam driver but apparent from that I don't really know where to go.... Thanks

Built-in Webcam not Recognized by Laptop

My built-in webcam on my Satellite A305-S6905 is not recognized by my laptop!!!
I click on Camera Assitant Software to boot up the cam and get no where.
The error message reads: Webcam is either disabled or failed. Please check your webcam settings.
I have no clue where the webcam settings might be. I have downloaded the driver 2x from the Toshiba recommended downloads: Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility for Windows Vista (32/64bit) / XP(v8.7.0.1007; 04-13-201... I get a message that the download was successful. Then, I check the list of devices in the Device Manager. The Chicony USB 2.0 Camera software is nowhere to be found. I cannot select it to Update the software. I have restarted my computer 2x. No help.
Does anyone have any suggestions? My daughter is leaving for Hong Kong and Vietman and I would like to track her journey using Skype. Thanks, NC

Thank you for the help Jerry, but I already tried that download. After downloading, I recved the following message: “The setup has detected that version (1.07..) of Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba is already installed. This setup installs an earlier version of Cam Asst. Soft for Toshba. You will need to uninstall the previous version (17.193.0508L) before installing this version.”
I have not tried to find the earlier Cam Asst Soft for Toshba version to uninstall yet. Should I find the earlier version, uninstall and download this earlier version?

My 2 notebooks running XP will no longer detect the BEFW11S4 WAP, what can I do?

My 2 notebooks running XP will no longer detect the BEFW11S4 WAP, what can I do?
The connections just stopped yesterday. Both laptops work OK when connected by ethernet cables and my main PC running XP64 connected also by ethernet is not affected.
Both laptops can see my neighbour's wireless network and worked OK with my son-in-laws network last night when I took them over to his house.
Can I assume that the "wireless component has died?
Any recommendations for a direct updated replacement?
I'm currently connected to NTL broadband but may at sometime switch to Sky broadband in the future but I understand that I would not be able to do this with my NTL phone line.

Thanks for the comments Charrie21,
SSID Broadcast is enabled,
Of the 3 leds on the front left:
WLAN ACT is not illuminated
WLAN Link is illuminated [According to the instruction because it is connected to a cable modem],
POWER is illuminated.
Of the 3 leds on the front right:
LINK is illuminated,
ACT is not illuminated,
Diag in not illuminated.
The router has been reset several times.
SSID has been changed several times
Channel number has been changed several times
WAP was previously 64BIt and has been changed to 128Bit
Firmware version is the same date as currently on the Linksys web sute for this model.
I am thinking the "wireless" component is dead.

WRT300N no longer detecting network

Hello,
After a loss of power the WRT300N is no longer detecting the network I have setup. Other wireless networks are shown. I hit the reset button already, and nothing changed. I tried to access http://192.168.1.1/ as suggested elsewhere but I am not getting an internet connection at all when the router is hooked up to my laptop via ethernet (all lights are green on the router except wireless and security). I also attempted to add the router via Vista and it asked for the PIN which I cannot find. I also tried to reload with the Linksys software and it could not detect the router and said to check the connection.
I am using Vista and am relatively computer illiterate. I am a poor grad student who can't pay Linksys $30. I'd appreciate any help or suggestions.
Thank you.

When I got to the third step (Checking the Router’s IP Address), nothing was listed for "Default Gateway" (message below). I cannot get to step 4 (Getting the DNS Servers from a Linksys Router) as I cannot access the site (no internet connection through the router).

Network card no longer detected after hdd failure

So yeah, my laptop's hdd crashed, I cloned it to another.
It no longer detects my pcmcia card, model GCS2220.
I tried chrooting the install from livecd and reinstalling kernel, still nothing.
Odd thing is, before I chroot the card works fine, after chrooting ifconfig fails to work with eth0.

Did you bind (mount -bind olddir newdir) /dev and mount /sys and /proc (I mean that's the place wherefrom ifconfig gets its information ) from the livecd's environment into ur chrooted environment ??

AirPort Stopped Working Suddenly - No Longer Detected

Hi guys,
I've been using my iMac 20" duo core for just roughly a month, and have been connecting online via my Airport Express wireless to get online. This morning, while using iTunes and listening to my music wireless, my iTunes froze up, and all my wireless connections were lost. I tried to restart my computer, but after that, I have been unable to connect to my wireless connection. I have checked my Network status and Internet Connect, and apparently my AirPort is no longer detected (Msg: No AirPort Hardware Found). I am still able to connect via the Ethernet, but that's the best I can do. I have tried checking updates and all, and have ran the Hardware Test, but have not been able to fix this problem at all. Pulling the plug and restarting have done nothing either.
Can someone please advise whether it can be solved, or if it's a hardware issue that I have to bring down to the retailer?
Thanks,
Ying Loong

Hi -
in response to the original question as to whether or not the problem can be solved, I am curious if the original poster did in fact solve the problem?
I asked these same questions back when I got my 20" Core Duo and had a very similar problem. I went so far through the AppleCare phone calls that they finally told me to take it to the local Apple Store and have them fix it. The tech did nothing. I got the computer back with a "no problems found" answer and to this very day it still has the same problem. In my case however, the computer will "see'" the network again if I unplug the computer for 15 seconds.
I have worked around the issue by connecting the iMac to the router with an Ethernet cable, but what's the point of having a wireless router and a wireless computer if the wireless doesn't work?
It's very disappointing to me, considering this is the 4th Apple computer I have owned that had AirPort built in, and it is the ONLY one that has EVER had issues. It has to be a hardware/firmware issue, because I have other AirPort-enabled computers currently on the network and they work fine and have NEVER lost the network. This is ridiculous, really - it is embarrassing to show non-Mac users my fancy new iMac, and tell them "it's great... only the wireless card doesn't work."
I haven't visited these discussion forums in a long time (essentially after realizing my problem wasn't going away I just gave up) but I see that a large number of people are still having wireless connection issues with these Intel Macs. I hope Apple is doing something to correct this issue, but I won't be holding my breath.
