Lenovo 3000 V100, problems with integrated Camera

Hello,
I bought this Lenove a couple of years ago ( autumm 2007 ).
equipped with Windows Vista, Location=Swedish.
Since then I have had problems with the camera, on and off.
The Camera was not working when I got home, I then got help from
the support desk. Then later on it stopped working, now it is only showing a black
box - either it could be after a Vista update or after a Lenovo update - I don't know.
Is there anyone who could help me out here.
Would like to use that camera, since it is integrated.
Thanks for your help, Ink

Hi Slape84,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that the integrated camera is not getting enabled even after trying to install the drivers for the camera. I suggest you to make sure the LEM (Lenovo Energy Management) is installed in the computer, if not please download it from the below link by selecting the exact Model Type of your G580 Laptop:
Drivers and software - Lenovo Ideapad Laptops
Then press Fn + Esc after installing the LEM in the computer this is the shortcut key to Turn on/off the integrated camera, now install the drivers for the integrated camera from the above link. But while installing while installing the driver right click on the downloaded file and select “Run as administrator” option to get it installed without any error.
Do post us back if the issue still persists.
Best Regards
Shiva Kumar

What is the reason that the integrated camera does not exist in the hardware configuration?

When I start Face Time, my integrated camera doesn't work.
I check my hardware configuration, but, the camera doesn't exist.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Does it happen with other applications that use the camera, like Photo Booth? If so, I recommend you to reset the PRAM > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 Then, reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
After resetting the SMC, start the iMac and see if you can use your camera. If not, hold Command and R keys while your computer is starting and reinstall OS X through OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
If it doesn't work, it's a hardware issue, so make a backup of your data and take the iMac to an Apple Store or reseller

T500 Laptop Model 2242-CT0 - Integrated Camera No Longer Shows in Devices

Laptop is about 14 months old. Integrated camera was working fine. I was using Skype the other day & it could not find the camera. I went into Devices & uninstalled the driver. Then the camera disappeared from Devices altogether.
I downloaded/installed the latest driver for the camera: version 1.32.500.0 (7tca23ww.exe), rebooted, but the device list still does not show in devices (yes-"Show Hidden" is selected).
Running Win 7 64 bit.
Latest updates for windows are installed. I periodically get an error message popping up that "Device driver failed install", but that's it.
Attempts to run hdwwiz to install the camera were not successful, as I do not see any "Camera" listed under the Ricoh drivers section.

Hi HLemieux,
I researched your issue and this is what I found from the Lenovo Assisted Search:
"If your webcam on your laptop is not working, try these following steps:
1. Be sure your webcam driver is installed. (It can be found at http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/ot/en/DriversDownLoads/Drivers.html)
2. By checking the webcam if it is disabled by Fn+Esc.
If you see the cross line on the webcam sign press to Fn+Esc to enable the webcam.
3. If you do not see the webcam sign on the right corner of display after pressing Fn+Esc, be sure your Energy Management is installed. (It can be found at http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/ot/en/DriversDownLoads/Drivers.html)
After you download the Energy Management driver from Lenovo Website, install the software.
During energy management installation if you see the window as below “Utility” must be selected for Fn hot-key application (Utility is a software package under EM)
4. After installation of Energy Management please perform step 2 to enable Webcam if it is disabled."
Try this and let us know how it works for you.
Have a GREAT day!

How to access Integrated camera from Windows 7 - ThinkPad X301?

Could someone please tell me how to start the integrated camera after installing the driver in Windows 7? I could see the device driver from Device Manager stated that it is properly installed and working fine but I had gone all the program interface to see where to start it proves to no avail. It is unlike Windows XP where it can be accessed from Accessories.

ThinkCentre E73z integrated camera cannot be used in Skype

Hi,
I have just finished the complete updating of the preinstalled windows7 professional on my new ThinkCentre E73z. This is the first use.
I'm very disappointed. When I installed Skype it says that Skype can't detect any Webcam. They offer to buy one.
When I opened up the new computer package there was "Brief user noctices" paper and it indicates that there is an integrated camera in the front. Is it an error, and actualy ThinkCentre E73z does not have a camera built in or this camera is not equivalent with a webcam?
This is my first Lenovo. Maybe I should take it back to the shop and ask my money back. What is going on?
Lenovo preinstalled this windows 7 professional. They built in a camera but forgot to install a driver for their hardware?
Really? The customer should install the driver? And which one?
I'm puzzled with it.
I came across with this camera issu first, what else, more serious things can I expect later?
Anyway, can you give me your advice what to do?
Using Device Manager in Win7 how can I find out that there is a camera there or not?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The situation is worse.
I just realised that the microphone is not working too. Nothing can be done to get it work.
It seems the whole panel in the front top of the monitor is out of order.
No microphone, no camera, no camera indicator.
I have a suspicion.
I asked the seller in the computer shop to replace the DVD drive with an SSD. (www.digiprime.hu)
They might have made a mistake. When replacing the DVD with SSD drive they disconected the panel containing the camera and microphone. Wired them off and forget to connect them again.
Is it possible?

Samsung Integrated Camera not working with Skype

Hi,
I have a Samsung ES7000 series TV with an integrated camera. When using the Skype app, this initially works for approximately 1 minute but then a message appears on the TV saying “Connecting USB Camera and Mic”. This results in getting disconnected from the video call.
I have contacted Samsung on a number of occasions and after performing a number of checks without success to fix the problem, they suggested that this is probably a Skype app issue and I should contact Skype.
Could you please help resolve this issue?
Thanks.

Hi,
I wonder about the message, which is "Connecting USB Camera and Mic".
Did you have a software upgrade for TV?
At that time, did you unplug the power cable by force?
I recommend "please do a upgrade software of TV"
The upgrade is through the Network.
You can see the upgrade button at "Main Menu --> Support --> Software Upgrade --> Online".
IMPORTANT.
After upgrading TV, it will be automatically reboot.
Please, Don't power off until finishing upgrade by force.
I hope your success!!
Thanks.

T530 Lenovo Integrated Camera not working, Lenovo Camera Settings does not Display

Hello, I have a new T530 with Windows 8 OS. I am having trouble using the integrated camera. It functions neither in the Windows camera app nor in Skype. In both cases I get a picture with a gray background and a camera with a line through it. In Device manager, the camera does appear, is enabled, and the drivers are up to date.
After looking through other threads, I tried checking whether the camera was plugged in and indeed it was. When using Skype and I set the camera to on (Skype did detect the camera), I still got the gray no camera image, but the green light on the camera itself turned on.
I also tried using Fn+F6 to check settings. Lenovo settings opens, but the when I click the camera settings Icon, the screen loads a blank page that says "Camera" in the top right and has a back button (left pointing arrow) in the top left hand corner. The back button does not seem to work and I must change the window to something else in order to exit/close settings.
I tried manually installing both camera drivers and "power management" ("energy management"?) drivers. Neither of this solved either of these issues.
Please help me to resolve this problem. Thank you.

Hi, euterpenc
I would make sure that the BIOS is up to date in the system. The current BIOS for your system is 2.07 and can be found here. Also, I would ensure that the chipset drivers are up to date, and those can be found here.
Hope it helps, and let me know how it goes

Thinkpad Yoga integrated camera is not working

Hi there,
I have a problem with integrated camera in my Thinkapad Yoga. The camera doesn't work. In manager device there is no such thing like camera. I have installed the newest drivers from Lenovo website but is didn't help. Lenovo Solution Center is reporting about unknown device which is not installed but i can't figure it out what is it.

Hi,
Camera is a USB device. Try updating the USB hub drivers. Update BIOS to the latest version as well. Now try installing the camera drivers.
If it didn’t help, it sounds like a hardware issue with your camera. The cable might have got unplugged or the camera itself would have gone faulty. I would strongly recommend you to contact our technical support for assistance.
Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number. I’m sure they will be a great help.
Best Regards,
Mithun.

How to use integrated camera? T61

I have an integrated camera, and I tried following the instructions lenovo suggests (opening the scanner/camera folder in the control panel) but no camera comes up! Also, I can't make movies either. I have windows vista so everything is different from the instructions lenovo gave me. Help!

To first test the camera, you can use something like Windows Live Messenger. If you enter the tools menu, you can use the "adjust webcam settings" option to test the camera. The green light next to the lens comes on to tell you its active and it shows you the picture being captured.
After that, you just open the app you want to use and its the application's responsibility to use the camera feed. Windows doesn't provide movie capture software by default if I recall correctly.

Refurbished X201 integrated camera settings don't work

My refurbished X201 (3680HN9) has an integrated camera (so says device manager) but nothing happens when I press FN+F6. I have downloaded the integrated camera driver from Lenovo support site but after install FN+F6 still does nothing.
I would appreciate any suggestions for what to do to get my integrated camera working.
Thanks.
Solved!

device manager has it? good. confirm that it works by visiting this page

and if it works, then you'll want to focus on getting thinkvantage communications utility working.

I have a hp pavilion dv 7, does it have an integral camera

i have just purchased a hp pavilion dv 7, does iy have an integral camera?

Hi:
We would need to know the full model number of your PC in order to answer your question.
Normally a PC with a webcam has a small glass camera lens in the middle of the top frame of the bezel facing you when you open the lid.

I installed:

- Lenovo System Update 5.06.0016

- ThinkPad UltraNav Driver 16.2.19.14
- ThinkVantage Active Protection System 1.79.00.03
And from Microsoft Store:
- Lenovo Settings - which run when i hit fn+f6
Non of driver updater find the built-in camera, same with Deviace Manager.
Lenovo System Update dont download any camera related software.
I understand that somekind of driver need to be installed to be able to turn on the camer.
But non i found activate it.
From what I read it should be in Lenovo Settings with Audio settings, but sadly nothing there.
When I start the build in app "camera" from Windows, it tells me there is no atached camera.
Those are the Lenovo x220 related installed application that showed up in Add/Remove Software.
Sadly the only camera driver from Lenovo page which is: Integrated Camera Driver for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit), Vista (32-bit, 64-bit), XP - ThinkPad , dosn't help.
Solved!

Thank you for confirming.
Here's what I get for your MTM:
ThinkPad X220 (4291-TGY)
i5-2540M(2.6GHz), 4GB RAM, 320GB 7200rpm HD, 12.5in 1366x768 LCD, Intel HD Graphics,
Intel 802.11agn wireless, WWAN option,Bluetooth, 1Gb Ethernet,UltraNav, Secure Chip, 6c Li-Ion,Win7 Pro 32
I notice that there is no mention of a camera. Are you sure your X220 has the physical device installed?
If you use your MTM and your serial number here: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/ibasepartslookup
you should get back a listing of the components installed in your machine at its build. The list can be somewhat cryptic, so please feel free to post it back here and we can dig further.
