Can't find my Presario CQ61-410US webcam

I can't find a webcam in my device manager, although I see the webcam and microphone at the top of my display's frame. Skype doesn't find a webcam and Youcam asks me to turn it on. Is it busted?

Hi there , Did you happen to do all of your updates in the HP Support Assistant? If no please use the HP Support Assistant to do all of your driver updates. Did you restart the Notebook? If not please use the Hard Reset Guide. I looked up your specific Model and I do see that some models do have the Webcam and some do not. You had said you were getting mixed messages from Skype and YouCam, and that you do have the Webcam area above the Notebook Display. This would lead me to believe that it is possible you have a Webcam. In the Device Manager under Imaging Devices, do you see the webcam now that you have done all of your driver updates, and restarted the Notebook? If you do not see a webcam, please right click on Imaging Devices and select Scan for hardware changes. If no entry under Imaging Device displays in Device Manager after running the scan, please follow this document called Webcam Troubleshooting (Windows 7). This document has a specific area called Video does not appear in your webcam software (such as YouCam, Skype, Messenger, etc.). Please follow the troubleshooting steps from there on. If this does not help please use the following link to create yourself a case number, then call and it may help speed up the call process:
Step 1. Open link: www.hp.com/contacthp/Step 2. Enter Product number or select to auto detect
Step 3. Scroll down to "Still need help? Complete the form to select your contact options"
Step 4. Scroll down and click on: HP contact options - click on Get phone number
Case number and phone number appear.
They will be happy to assist you immediately. Best of luck!

  • Can't find web cam

    I can't find where to start my webcam on my Satellite C655D-S5529.  It worked in April but wanted to use it a few days ago, I couldn't find anyway to start it.  The webcam is in my Device Manager and says that the device is working correctly.  Thank you for your help. Diane

    I haven't heard from you in a couple days but wanted to add that if it's not found in the search, you can try checking the Store for the Camera app in Windows 8. You might also try checking this article:

I've seen pics of where there is a gray circle or dot in the middle of that rectangle, but I'm not able to see if I have one or not. Would someone please help me out here?

    Hi,
    The only option for a modem if one is not bought as an option would be a USB connected modem. U.S. Robotics makes one. Take a look here at NewEgg. It is unfortunat that this laptop does not come with an express54 slot.

    Hi @sng4ever2000 ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your Compaq Presario CQ61 Notebook and issues starting Windows 7. Try to turn on the computer you start to press F11 repeatedly till the menu opens. You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook.
    When performing a System restore please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices as they can cause issues.
    I would be happy to assist if needed. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    Please let me know.

  • Compaq Presario CQ61 Wont Boot

    So Like Most owners of the Presario, My Computer wont boot. Its a blank screen and the LED blinds towards BIOS Corruption but since I cant even get out the blank screen Any help would be very well indeed Helped. Below is Info and things I've Tried
    Computer Type: Compaq Presario CQ61-319WM
    Operating System: Windows 7
    Warranty: Gone
    Bought: 3 Years Ago
    What Happened when this all started: I was drawing on photoshop, I closed it so it would go to sleep mode. I left the house for an hour to shop and come back to this blank screen and LED blinking Lights (Twice)
    Last Six months had To System Restore Twice, An Update back in March made my computer not work so was forced to system restore. 
    Things I've Tried:
    *Hard Reset More than 5 times, nothing worked
    *Bought New Charger
    *Bought New Battery
    *Removed/Reseated my two 2gb Ram sticks. Switched them
    *Removed HDD/Battery to see if it Was the HDD
    *Took apart computer before I knew it was the BIos to see if it was the moniter or if the wires got exposed or snapped
    Than I tried to get into the BIOS Recovery, tried the Win button +B button/Power, f2 and f10. Nothing gets my computer off the blank screen.
    I Think Ive gotten everything Down. Should I send it in even though it would be smarter to just buy a new computer? Im at a lost of what can be done . Almost Every person with this problem got fixed by Hard Reset.  I dont know how to deal with BIOS. So Please Help If You can.

    The troubleshooting steps mentioned in the following weblinks might help you to resolve the issue:
    HP Notebook PCs - Use Hard Reset to Resolve Hardware and Software Issues
    HP Notebook PCs - Blank Screen LED Error Codes
    HP Notebook PCs - Troubleshooting No LED Lights Glow During Startup or Boot

  • Compaq Presario CQ61-310SA Notebook PC Help

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ61-310SA Notebook PC that worked fine until recently . Now when i turn it on the power light comes on , i can hear the fans and HDD power up , but the screen remains blank . The only sign of problem is the led warning lights . They flash twice , then pause then flash twice again , they do this constantly until the machine is turned off. I have tried a hard reset , swapped/removed the memory modules , reseated the HDD , checked all cabling is properly seated , still nothing. Have tried to fix the Bios using the HP_Tools USB device and pressing Windows+B on switch on , this caused the machine to beep 3 times then switch off . 
    Am now scratching my head and wondered if anyone here has any further advice before i throw it in the bin .... i tried to connect to outside source (TV via HDMI) ... but just showed blue screen and out of range message on the TV ..
    HELPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi,
    No, it does not have a modem as shown in its specs.
    If you wish, you can buy one of these
