DV6-1375dx Webcam not found

This laptop is running Windows 7 64-bit, and I cannot get the device manager to find the webcam. I have tried to manually add the device drivers and updated the BIOS. I have also tried to manaully add the device throught the "Imaging" category within the Device Manager Add Legacy Hardware wizard.
Any Ideas on where to go from here, other than buying an external WebCam?

Hi ESiniard,
I realize this thread is over 12 months old. But I just encountered the same problem with my DV6 1375. The webcam stopped working, and it doesn't show up in Device Manager Imaging.
I've installed the new BIOS and chipset drivers, but the webcam is still not found.
Thank you for any help!

My hp pavilion dv6-6c13cl entertainment notebook pc - webcam not found in device manager.

I am a technician working on this unit for a neighbor, and it is having some issues. She has kept this unit in very good condition, never been dropped and has functioned very well. Recently she went to use voice chat on facebook as she has several times in the past and it told her it couldn't find a webcam. I tried the youcam software and it also said no webcam detected. I have tried to update devices, run all updates from HP, pulled the battery and power cord and held power button for 10 seconds and hooked it back up, reformatted and reinstalled fresh....nothing seems to work, do you have any other solutions? I see it is under warrantly so I'm not going to take it apart and make physical repairs as I do not wish to void her warranty.

Hi geraldnpatty,
Take a look at this document, which provides troubleshooting steps for the webcam not being listed in Device Manager. Hopefully, this will take care of the issue. If not and it's still in warranty, I'd suggest calling in.
Please let me know if this helps.

With Windows 7 or 8 on my 2710p (built in webcam), the camera driver says "HP Webcam not found"

I had the webcam running on my 2710p with Windows 7 for quite a while, but after I plugged in an external webcam once (I think it was Microsoft branded), it's almost as if my built in webcam dissappeared. I tried formatting the computer to Windows 7 and now Windows 8 (both 32bit), hoping it that a fresh install would fix the issue, but when I try and install the sonix webcam driver from the hp drivers page for the 2710p (using W7 Home Premium 32bit drivers), it says "The HP Webcam has not found! Please plug in the HP webcam and then run installation again." The only unknown device in my device manager is the PCI controller, which I don't really care for.
What's going on here? I'm pretty tech literate but I'm kind of stumped here.
This question was solved.

Webcams are fragile and I suspect yours has died. I think the fact that it happened while you were using an external webcam is coincidence.

Dv9000 laptop dvd drive and webcam not found. drive initializes on boot but does not show up.

The DVD/CD-Rom drive will initialize and will read a CD when inserted but it does not show up in the BIOS or in Windows. It's a Lighscribe drive. The webcam was not found either. I recently reloaded this machine for a friend back to the factory setup. Installed all additional software and everything is working but the drive and the camera. Is there any way to actually test these devices for failure? Or is there a patch or a software package I may be missing? It's a dv9000 but it has dv9007 on the bottom. And an AMD processor. If anybody has any ideas I would greatly appreciate the help.

Spoiler (Highlight to read)
It does not show up in either one. The camera or the DVD drive. No X's or error Triangles. I guess they could have gone bad at the same time but that's not likely. It would be one heck of a coiencidence. I am wondering if there is an alternate chipset driver or patch. Maybe a controller driver? The system has dv9000 on the display and dv9700 on the model # tag. I believe 1 is Inter and the other NVidia. But the Factory image installed the NVidia drivers.

Hi,
The chance of HDD failure is very high. Please try to do an HDD self test from BIOS.

Dv5 / dv6 / dv7 webcam not detected - one (possible) solution

There are SO many posts on webcams - here is something for those of you who no longer have warranties and need help.
Background:
I just purchased a new dv7 - no webcam detected! I tried everything I could think of and ended up sending the system in for service last week. Tech hinted that the connection may be loose (not the end at the mother board, the other end, next to the camera). Sad, that. I am still pawing through the posts looking to see if I'd missed anything that I could have tried.
Found this post all the way back from February 2011 from NotBuggy - Read on: this solution might work for you:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware/Windows-7-64-bit-Webcam-Drivers-for-dv5t-1000/td-p/46...
NotBuggy's first post descibes the initial issue. At the bottom of that post is the "Solution" link. For those interested, there may be helpful hints from other members in the answers NotBuggy received.
As NotBuggy says, this is not for the "faint of heart" - you will need to take apart your system and risk damage. Proceed only if other avenues are closed.
Good Luck!
Kind Regards,

webcam not detected I have reinstalled the driver for the webcam but the issue persists with an error saying "No Webcam Detected". I have been to the device manager and the webcam is not listed there .I would like to know
how to get this fixed please. Thank you very much.

Integrated Webcam not found anywhere on Laptop

Hi, I have been having an issue with my integrated camera. I've tried to install, reinstall, and even update my Cyberlink Youcam software, and each time it gives me the same Error "Warning, no webcam detected on this computer, try plugging in a webcam to your computer, or if you are using an integrated camera please make sure it is turned on."
Now, I know that there have been other questions like this, but here is where my problems take a different turn. Having reinstalled the Cyberlink Software as I saw suggested in the forums, I began to explore my device manager only to find that my integrated camera was not listed anywhere in it. I also do not have the HP Support Assistant, nor do I have the HP Recovery Manager as my OS, Windows 7, was installed on my computer as an Aftermarket Product.
The initial OS of my computer was Windows Vista 64-bit, however, As this computer was given to me I have no idea exactly what needs to be installed, updated, or fixed, as the auto detection tool from hpsupport.com said that I had no updates or anything else needed for my PC. I have an external camera, but would prefer to use my integrated camera as the external is rather cumbersome to have to bring with me, yes it's small, but it's one of the older models that you just sort of prop on the monitor screen with an abnormally long cord leading to the USB port.
Please, any help would be appreciated, and I am open to try nearly everything. I'm not adept enough with Hardware, however, to try and take the laptop apart, I fear I would break something, and before someone wishes to be cute and suggest I buy a new computer, I would if I have the money, so please....be serious when offering help, I appreciate the time that you take to help me in advance.

I did not ask for your state. I do not need that I just needed to know what markets you could access and you can use U.S. eBay and amazon.com. I will also need your model number to be sure but this is almost certainly the part you need at $5 on eBay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Pavilion-DV6000-Webcam-Camera-QCM030-DAQCMMB86B0-/301543415487?pt=LH_Defa...
This is an interesting youtube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zdTUnWOo8k
The technician does not quite finish the task but this shows how to remove the plastic frame around the screen and what you will see when you open it.
Here is the Manual:
Manual
See page 5-39
Just be careful as shown in the video while removing the screen frame. You can use a plastic spatula to separate the frame from the screen casing and just go slowly. You do not need to replace the cable or go any further. Just remove your webcam and plug the new one in place. No guaranties in electronics but for $5 there is about a 90% chance you will have the webcam back.
Remember before you order this give me the full model number of the laptop so I can check it against another manual. There is actually another series also called dv6000 which is a little newer and perhaps uses a different webcam module.

Pavilion dv6 Webcam not working?

I have a Pavilion dv6-1030ca notebook, and for the past few weeks, I've been having trouble with my webcam. When I open HP MediaSmart Webcam, I get the following error message: "No video device detected. Please plug a video device into your computer. If you are using an integrated camera please make sure it is turned on." I have an integrated camera, and it (usually) turns on when the webcam application opens. I am running Windows Vista with SP1, and have tried many things to fix it, to no avail. The webcam does not appear in Device Manager, under Imaging Devices nor any of the USB Root Hubs. So far, I have attempted to:
- Reinstalled the USB Root Hub Drivers
- Tried to fix the solution in BIOS (as another thread suggested)
- Attempted to use Recovery Manager to reinstall the driver (was not in the list)
- Created Recovery Disks to solve the problem (it didn't)
- Upgraded the MediaSmart Webcam software
I am in school right now, and I really can't afford to give my laptop away to get repaired for three weeks since I have exams coming up. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

This question was solved.
View Solution.

I am in the exact boat as you.
Couldn't understand why all of a sudden, after about 3 months, the webcam 'device not found' in Win7 Device Manager, Google Chat, Skype, etc.
Called HP support, and they made us do a hard reset of the entire notebook, removing the battery, ac cord, and holding down the power button for 1 minute.
Webcam came back for 1 day, but I'm not about to unplug and reset everytime I am in the middle of a skype call?!
Sadly, HP or Costco (where it was purchased) doesn't seem to care or are willing to provide a solution.
Instead of recalling the computers, like automobile and other industries, they just wait and hope that the warranty runs out before it becomes a big deal.
They didn't stop selling them either, even with this known problem.
So now they have the G series of notebooks, and so the dv6 and its headaches can fade away for HP.
I have probably been involved with over 100 HP product purchases in my job the past 5 years, but this will be the last for the forseeable future.

For weeks I have been viewing a doggy day care via their web cam. This weekend I upgraded to Lion and have been unable to view the center since. I get an error message for java webcam class not found. All of my software is up to date--suggestions?

For weeks I have been viewing a doggy day care center via their web cam. This weekend I upgraded to Lion and have been unable to view the center. I get an error message for Java plug-in 1.6.0_29 ....webcam class not found. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Sorry, don't know what else to suggest unless there's a URL to the problem stream that someone here can try. Otherwise we can't test it to try and determine what might be wrong.
BTW, make sure they're testing it with a Mac, not with a Windows system. If they test only with Windows, what they say is or is not working doesn't mean much.

HP Pavilion dv6-3043ee Realtek Network Adapter not found in Device Manager

Hi I own an HP Pavilion dv6-3043ee, 64bit and running Windows 7. And somehow the network adapter for the LAN got uninstalled for some reason. Now after posting something on the site I finally downloaded the driver for my laptop.
Now another problem, after or at the end of the installation process a pop up message was shown:
"The Realtek Network Controller was not found,
If Deep Sleep Mode is enabled Please Plug the Cable."
Now I checked Device Manager to see if the Realtek Network Adapter was there but it wasn't. All I can see are:
-Atheros AR9285 802.11b/g/n Wifi Adapter
-Bluetooth Device (Personal Area Network)
-Bluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocl TDI)
-TAP-Windows Adapter V9
Someone please help. Thank you.

If device is identified but there is no driver for it, it will be appeared as unknown device in Device Manager with question mark icon (?), are you seeing such thing in device manager?
If not, you should refer to your PC manufacturer's website and download.
Make sure report this issue using Feedback App.

Satellite P300: BSOD error STOP: c0000139 {entry point not found}

I've been having this error for a few weeks on my Toshiba P300.
When I start my notebook there appears a blue screen with an error for a split of a second:
STOP: c0000139 {entry point not found}
The procedure entry point ntoskrnl.ExiAcquireFastMutex could not be located in the dynamic link library Hal.dll.
Then Windows Vista starts normal.
I don't get this error when i start the computer from hibernate. What does this error mean??
I also have problems with my integrated webcam. I get the message: 'locked by another application'. I already reinstalled the software I downloaded from the website, but that didn't help. Does the error have something to do with the webcam that doenst work properly??

I dont know what the problem can be but you should use system restore tool and rollback OS to earlier time before this error message started.
