MSI GT685 webcam not found?

I had a bad hard drive on my Lappy and Im able to get everything running but my webcam and touchpad lights. The driver page says that the webcam driver is inside windows, but it doesnt seem to even recognize the webcam being there. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

fn-f6 turns the webcam on.
it worked for me.

  • MSI GX660 - Webcam not found.

    Hey guys, I've installed Win 7 on my SSD, everything seems to be working, except for the webcam. I installaed the utility and when I try to start it it tells me there is no webcam installed. I checked the device manager. No webcam there, and no error / unknown devices.
    Any idea how to get it to work? Thanks

  • 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.  

  • 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.

  • Itunes continues to offer update to latest version, but after about 10 minutes, gives message that "service is unavailable" (.msi file is not found)  What is going on?

    Good morning everyone,
    Since the most current version of itunes has become available for update, I will periodically get update notices to upgrade my existing version of itunes.
    The problem (which, BTW, has never happened before in the 2 - 3 years I've had itunes on my WIN XP Pro SP3 computer)...is the update will proceed normally for about 10 minutes, then a dialog box opens stating that "A network resource needed is unavailable."  It also offers the option to look elsewhere for a particular .msi file which it claims it cannot find (at the C:\...\.. link it displays...with a [BROWSE] button beside it.
    Does ANYONE have ANY idea just what is happening here and how to resolve this very, increasingly-annoying, issue?  As I indicated earlier...this issue has NEVER happened before.  ALL previous updates have completed without incident.  I have also tried doing updates from other Internet sites with the same unacceptable results.
    NOTE:  Itunes is ONLY on my WIN XP Pro computer.  I have NO Ipad, Ipod, Iphone, etc.
    Thank you for your time and any enlightenment!

    Many thanks.
    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • 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:

    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.

  • MSI GX60 Webcam not there? No drivers available...help!

    Maybe I'm missing something, but my fresh out of the box MSI GX60 is supposed to have a 720p webcam built in, but Skype, Windows Movie Maker and Cyberlink Youcam 5 all say there is no webcam. I am really bummed out that the webcam isn't detected, I tried installing windows 7 too and seeing if it would work there, but no luck. Please help!

    Nevermind, apparently I was an idiot and never checked to see if it was actually active at the time. Try hitting your Function key and F6 and see if it will activate your webcam.

  • Acroread.msi file is not found..

    You can use the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Tool: http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    Be aware that Microsoft removed this tool from its downloads due the fact that under certain circumstances it was capable of corrupting the Windows Installation, HOWEVER, people have used this utility for years without issue.

  • 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.

  • Data1.cab not found when installing msi bluetooth

    Hi
    I just bought an MSI bluetooth pc2pc and when I am trying to install its software on my Windows XP, it keeps on saying to me that an error occured. The error number is 1311. It says "source file not found: E:/Blue Tooth/data1.cab. Verify that the file exists and you can access it."
    In this window only a retry and a cancel button appears and when I press retry, this window comes again asking for this .cab file. I cannot even search for this file somewhere else on my PC. If I press cancel it rollbacks everything leaving me with no Bluetooth software and obviously no bluetooth connection.
    I also tried to change its software CD and I also changed the bluetooth device to no avvail.
    IS THIS A PROBLEM ON MY WINDOWS OR A PROBLEM FROM THE INSTALLATION CD.
    Please Help me cause if there is a problem with the bluetooth package I have to return it back

    Just curious can you extract the file with winrar and then install. I haven't run across your particular error but that has resolved other issues for me.
    Regards,
    Tim

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on 25 June 2010. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
