Front facing webcam stopped working

Problem Description:
When using the front facing webcam, no output video is shown on the tablet screen. The indicator light to the right of the webcam comes on, but no image is shown on screen - black screen. This had been working before, but all of a sudden stopped working.
Trouble Shooting:
- Have rebooted tablet, but this has not resolved the issue.
- Have tried different applications that use the webcam, such as Skype and the native camera app, but these result in the same issue - no image is shown on the tablet screen from the webcam.
Thanks

  • My front facing camera stopped working.  What can I do to fix this?

    It stopped working about a week ago.  I can still use the other camera but when I switch to the front one the shutter closes and it no longer works. Please help!

        Hello tmsipos11! That certainly sounds like an aggravating thing to occur! At this point, I recommend making sure that your iPhone 4s has the most recent software. The next upgrade is available now! If you've done so and yet still have this problem, please let me know!

    - Autostart Webcamsoftware doesn't work (traybar).
    - Manual start doesn't work either.

    I use my laptop for both private and office. Therefore i created a userprofile for home and another for the office.
    Both userprofiles have different settings/desktops/etc.
    Meanwhile i did the following:
    - boot and logon with primary profile (working webcamsoft)
    - uninstalled the program
    - used CCClean to cleanup registry (and other stuff)
    - reboot and logon with secondary userprofile
    - used CCClean to cleanup registry (and other stuff)
    - reboot and logon again with primary userprofile
    - install the webcam software
    - reboot and logon with primary userprofile
    - test webcamsoft, it works
    - reboot and logon with secondary userprofile
    - webcam still doesn't work
    any suggestions???

  • Satellite A300-1G5: webcam stopped working - Webcam driver open fail

    Hi
    my laptop specifcation here : ( [A300 - 1G5|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new=Yes&PRODUCT_ID=1055589] ) for any needed details ..
    The problem simply is, the webcam stopped working for some reason, an error messeage says "Webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer".
    I noticed that whenever I put the computer in sleep mode I was getting on the icon tray a notification says "USB device unrecognized"... I wasnt aware what it was - thought it becasue of the USB mouse being plugged... but I think its related to the camera...
    software is installed but camera is not working and cant enable it .. I did download the latest driver from toshiba site , but still not working ...
    Currently my laptop runs Vista HP SP2 32-bit, Windows defender enabled, Windows Firewall Enabled, Windows UAC enabled, Kaspersky Ani-Virus 2009 Enabled. I only use Windows Live Messenger (which up to date I think , version : 14.0.8089.726) which i used camera with, I quite using face recognition long time ago and rarely use the webcam ... I didnt install or update any drivers and used to have the laptop running perfectly..
    So what happened now ?!

    Hi
    I have had a similar error message and could solve this by disabling the webcam software from startup.
    In msconfig -> Start Up tab I have unchecked the Chicony webcam software.
    This prevents it from automatic loading.
    I dont use MSN but Skype and the Chicony webcam software is always disabled (not executed) if Skype is running.
    Maybe you should try this too.
    Furthermore you could try this:
    Go to device manager, mark the webcam (imaging devices USB video device) and deleted it from the device list.
    Then reboot the notebook and wait until the webcam has been recognized again.
    Then test it.

    Restart Mac and try again.  If you are still having trouble, see Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    (Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD."  Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

  • Webcam stopped working on my Presario CQ70 running windows 7

    Upgraded from Vista, webcam worked great for months.  All of a sudden it just disappeared.  Device manager does not show any imaging devices, nor is the webcam listed elsewhere in the device manager.  Is there any way to reinstall the webcam?

  • Ipad4 front camera just stopped working

    My Ipad 4 camera has just stopped working; the rear camera works fine but when you toggle across the whole thing locks?
    three weeks out of warranty; feels like an Apple 'frig' to me!

    Hi Brendan
    Unfortunately that doesn't work; and had already done all the guidance and also tried full resets from the settings as well.
    The rear camera works fine but when you toggle to the front facing camera it blurs the previous rear facing image and then effectively locks the screen and doesn't allow you to toggle back to the rear camera or move between photo/video/square. Even when you close the application it then reboots into a  front screen black image which you can only get out of by rebooting the iPad.
    As I bought this from Apple as a refurbished model and it's 12 months and 3 weeks old which means from an Aplle perspective its out of warranty and any kind of support assistance. It seems the only way I can get support is to spend £25 to get someone from Appleto talk to me.
    The guidance from numerous facebook contributors suggest is it would  be wiser to spend the £25 pursuing Apple for a resolution on the HM Courts Website 'Money Claim Online' as under the UK Sale & Supply of Goods act its reasonable to expect it to continue to work after less than 13 months usage.

  • HP TrueVision HD webcam stopped working

    I have a compaq with a built-in hp truevision hd webcam that suddenly just stopped working yesterday.
    I first noticed when I was setting up my live stream. In order to active my cam I had to open the software (which is cyberlink youcam), but when I clicked to open it it just did nothing. The software refused to open, no matter what I did. So I updated the software and drivers, thinking that might be the issue. But it just went downhill from there.
    When I open the software it now gives me a message that says
    "YouCam cannot connect to your webcam ( HP TrueVision HD ). Try selecting another capture device within settings , or close any applications that may be using this webcam and then restart "YouCam".
    I tried restarting my laptop several times, but this message pops up every time. I have carefully looked at the running processes and I have done an extra scan for viruses, only to find that there is no way anything else might be using my webcam.
    Device manager shows that my webcam is connected and that my drivers should be working properly.
    To make sure the problem wasn't YouCam I tried calling someone on skype and using different software. Both showed the exact same thing. I tried getting the front of my screen off and pushing the connector a bit. That didn't help either.
    I have noticed lately that my cam would sometimes keep the little light on for a few more minutes after I shut down the software. My laptop can be a bit slow sometimes, so I don't know if that related to anything though.
    My laptop is a little over 2 years old now. I don't know what model it is, but it came with windows 8. I currently have windows 7 installed on it.
    It's an intel core i3 2.2GHZ, 4GB RAM.

  • Is it common for the front camer to stop working?

    The front camera on my iPod randomly stopped working months ago and I've been to busy to get it fixed or whatever, I don't really know what to do, is this something that should be fixed by apple for free? Or don't have to pay for this?

    Maybe I see one or two posts a day for that problem with the 5G iPod.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If the iod is defective and not aboused Apple will exchange it at no cost

  • Webcam stopped working on network after quicktime streaming server install.

    Hi,
    The webcam of my 20" intel mac duo stopped working after I installed quicktime streaming server.
    I've tried with amsn, skype and ichat and none of them shows anything, although the light is green.
    I don't need the streaming server but can't find how to uninstall it.
    I can use the cam in photobooth without any problems so it seems to be a network problem, which I think was caused by qss because I installed that recently.
    I really hope someone can give me some troubleshooting directions for this cause I need the cam for meetings with clients (I have a small design company in the uk, but most of my clients are from holland).
    If anyone can at least just show me some tips I'd be very very happy! =)
    thank you very much!

    hey kathyC14
    It's HP's Expert Days so I am here to assist you with your issue.  I did some digging around to give you and answer but before I do, let me share what I think is happening.  The system you referenced is an older PC, the IQ504, released back in 2008. I understand that the weather app is no longer being updated and as a result will stop functioning.  You can get a similar type application at the following link.  It's just one of many weather applications out there so maybe do some looking around and see which one meets your needs.

  • Front facing camera not working for video chat on Revolution

    How come the front facing camera doesn't work on Tango? I wanted a new phone with FFC to use on Tango and for when Skype goes video on phones and it seems it don't work on Tango. Is it just Revolution or is it the same on all phones? I don't need a FFC phone to take pics of myself I have had no problem doing that on other phones, would love the feature to do what it is supposed too.

    Hi bulldog69!
    To answer your question, some of those video chat applications have additional 'plug-ins' that need to be downloaded from the Market as well. Just search for "tango" in the Market and see if anything pulls up. If this is not the case, try to uninstall and re-install the application from the Market.  I recommend trying another video chat app to see if that works as well. If you can take photos and video with the FFC, there's no issue with the device.
    Hope that helps! Keep us posted.
    Thank you!
    Well we have two Revolutions and i tried the uninstall and reinstall and no good. Couldn't find any plug ins.
     What other video chat apps do you know of that might work? Tried Fring and tha was junk. Thanks for any of your help that you give me
