Pavilion dv4 webcam not detected

I have the Pavilion dv4-1454ca notebook and I am having problems with the computer identifying the webcam. I changed the OS to Windows Vista 64-bit and ever since then my webcam doesn't work. I have followed all the steps in fixing webcam after changing the OS on the solve a problem section of the HP website but there is no Imaging Device detected at all in the Device Manager and now I am stuck. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi dobson,
What OS did you have installed on your system before you changed?

Webcam Not Detected [HP TrueVision HD]

I have the HP Pavilion dv7-6b57nr Entertainment Notebook PC. Currently running Windows 7. When I open the program provided for the webcam (YouCam) it says webcam not detected. I have reinstalled this program a few times to attempt to install the driver for the webcam but the issue persists with an error saying "No Webcam Detected" or whatever it is. I have been to the device manager and the webcam is not listed there (which I know would be Imaging Devices or something like that). I have heard that many others with dv7's have been having issues with the webcam as well. I have not had my laptop for very long. Some of the solutions I've heard that work are smacking it which I've tried but doesn't work. I've read up that this issue is merely an issue in workmanship and is problem with wiring. I would like to know how to get this fixed please. I would like to get this fixed as soon as possible

Hp Pavilion is now not detecting the battery all of the sudden after 1 1/2 years.

My Hp Pavilion laptop is not detecting the battery. I can't seem to find information anywhere regarding how to resolve this issue. The battery was detected as of yesterday and was charging still at a "good" level. The battery Icon has an X and "No battery detected" .
Why does this happen and how to resolve it. I've tried taking off and on the battery several times as well as rebooting. NO luck!
Thanks,

After clean install of Win7, webcam is not detected by operating system. Chipset drivers already installed. Intel Mobile 965 detected and operating correctly. Smartcard reader detected and operating correctly. Attempted to install YouCam software from HP support; could not detect the webcam.

Integrated Webcam Not Detected

For about 5-6 months, my webcam hasn't been detected on my Pavilion dv4 4141us notebook. It wasn't that big of an issue, as I didn't use it much, but I thought I better get it fixed at some point. This error occured when I still had Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit), and I'm currently on Windows 8.1 Pro (64 bit). If I go into computer management, the only device listed in imaging devices, is my HP Envy printer, and not my webcam. Operating system: Windows 8.1 Pro (64 bit)Model: HP Pavilion dv4 4141usProduct number: QE010UA#ABA

Both my integrated and my logitech webcam don't work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both drivers and they both show up in the device manager all while "working properly". the microphones function, but not the cameras.
Any suggestions that don't involve a clean installation of windows 7?

Presario CQ 71 - Built in Webcam not detected under Windows 7 Professional - No HP-101 device

I have a Compaq Presario CQ 71 EB400. On this notebook I run both Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bits and Windows 7 Professional 64-bits to compare behaviour of apps and windows features in both environments.
Windows 7 Home on my HD C partition
Windows 7 Professional on my HD F partition.
The CQ 71 has a built in Webcam, that shows up under Windows 7 Home premium Device Manager - Imaging Devices (Cameras and Scanners) as HP-101, linked to the required drivers.
Under Windows 7 Home premium:
- The built-in CQ 71 Webcam is detected and operational - the HP-101 entry is present in Device Manager.
- Applications using a Webcam like Skype, Mycam, Manycom etc connect with the Webcam
- When I plug in an external Webcam, thet webcam is detected as well, drivers loaded etc.
Under Windows 7 Professional:
- The built in Webcam is not detected, in the Device Manager -Imaging Devices, the HP-101 Webcam entry is absent
- Skype, Mycam, Manycam cannot find a Webcam (also not when an external USB Webcam is plugged in)
- A plugged in external Web cam is not detected as an imaging device.
I use a Brother printer/scanner/fax machine, the Brother scanner device is visible as Imaging device in Device manager in both Windows 7 Home premium and Windows 7 Professional.
Other USB devices, portable disks, card readers etc seem to work OK in both Windows 7 environments.
The HP support pages provide information what to do when a internal Webcam is not detected; The recommended actions make no difference. Going back to a previous W7 Prof restore point is no option, as on the CQ 71 notebook the built-in Webcam never functioned under W7 Professional.
The major difference is that all Windows 7 Home Premium relatede system software resides on the C partition, all Windows 7 Professional system software on the F partition.
I'm looking for a way to kickstart the built in CQ 71 Webcam under Windows 7 Professional installed on a non-standard partition.
Your suggestions will be very welcome.
Jan Dijckmeester.

Hi again jdij,
It is good to hear back from you!
To enable your system to detect the Webcam in Windows 7, I recommend re-installing the original drivers and software that first came with your computer. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7). To update the newly installed software, please follow this resource on Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 7).
If the webcam is still not detected, I recommend returning your system back to a previous restore point. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7).
Should the problem continue, I suggest performing a backup and recovery of your operating system. This can be done by following the steps in this resource on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 7), as well as Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 7). This should return your system back to factory defaults.
If the issue persists, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

HP Pavilion dv4 will not start up

Hi! I am hoping someone can help me. My friend has an HP Pavilion dv4--2045dx running Windows 7 and it will not start up. Once it is turned on the hp logo appears for a quick second and then a black screen with a blinking cursor in the left, top corner comes up. If I press ctrl alt del and then esc I can get into the menu for F1, F2, F11 etc. I have run and passed all of the system diagnostics tests (Start up, Memory and Hard Drive). I have tried to reset the BIOS to default condition and also tried to connect the laptop to my TV to see if it was the screen that doesn't work, but it wasn't. I tried a hard reset also. When I press F11 for a system recovery, nothing happens. It just goes right back to the black screen with blinking cursor. All of the other F-keys work and I am able to pull up screens for each, except the F11 key.
I am not very computer literate but am trying everything I can think of to get it back to factory settings or system recovery. If anybody out there has any idea what I'm talking about (I'm not sure I even do) please please give me some suggestions!!
I tried to write all of the information I can think of, but if you have any questions about the issue I'll be glad to answer what I can!
Any suggestions/help are GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks in advance for any thoughts you may share!!

Hi,
Try the following to see if the Hard Drive is accessible. The Ubuntu operating system CD you create can run from the CD alone ( ie it doesn't have to install on the Hard Drive ) When you've created the CD, follow the rest of the instructions and see if you can access the HDD - you may want to back up your existing files if you can.

Webcam not detected in Compact Presario C769CA Notebook - Windows Vista 32-bit

The webcam is not detected in my notebook, it is NOT shown in the Device Manager or in the Imaging devices: I have done a scan for driver updates and the result said that all drivers are up to date, but the webcam is still not detected.
Where can I get the driver for this webcam?
Any help is appreciated to get this webcam working.
Thanks

Hi:
Do you have the cyberlink youcam software installed?
If yes, then I don't know why the webcam isn't working.

Webcam not detected in Mavericks Operating System

Hi Team,
I upgraded my Macboox OS to Mavericks and since than the webcam is not detected in facetime skype or my other office application like Cisco Jabber.
I know "sudo killall VDCAssistant" works, But it works for some days and again webcam stops working.
We have huge engineer base in office who uses Macbook and if the colloboration through video is not working, it may affect the further purchases.
Is Apple willing to provide some permanent solution to this problem.
regards
Ronak Patel

You mention earlier that you have an iMac that works with the apps that give trouble on your rMBP.
If your rMBP originally came with Mavericks installed, the only workaround I can suggest is that you use your iMac to maintain your non-Apple relationships until the problem is resolved.
If your rMBP originally came with Mountain-Lion or earlier installed, and if you need to use your rMBP with the problem software apps, consider retreating to Mountain Lion until the problem is resolved in Mavericks.

Dv7t Quad - Windows 7 64bit - Internal HP Webcam not detected by Device Manager

New system - one re-install of Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit. All else is running as expected. (SimplePass is even cooperating.) Webcam is missing from the Device Manager.
I believe the onboard (internal) HP TrueVision HD Webcam worked originally (after purchase). I reinstalled the OS (fighting with SimplePass - story not worth telling). Never checked the webcam. Weeks later... The webcam is not detected and is not listed in the Device Manager. Speccy64 (freeware used to detect and monitor all sorts of system specs) does not see the webcam. Skype does not see the webcam. YouCam software does not detect the webcam. Nada, zip, zero: No webcam.
I've already "chatted" with HP, requested, and reinstalled the webcam driver. No luck, there.
BIOS is up to date (F1.A 7/20/2011). (Everything is up to date - the laptop is new and is constantly updated.)
I'm open to the obvious, that of returning to "factory rebuild", but it's a headache to avoid so soon after just getting this beast where I want it. I do have a recovery disk and assuming it has anything more than just more drivers on it, it may be useful if I could figure out how to use it.
Ideas?
Thanks in Advance!
Kind Regards,

There is no harm in recovering your Notebook to factory state but I highly doubt that would fix your issue.
It could be a faulty webcam module which is not been recognized. I suspect you might have to send the Notebook in for a warranty repair to get it fixed .

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,

HP Pavilion dv4 notepad not booting. NEED Help!!!

Hi There,
I have HP Pavilion DV4. For some odd reason, when I turn on my notepad, I just get one flash of power light, volume indicating light, num lock light, caps lock light, and screen stays blank. Notepad doesn't boot but power light keeps flashing.
Initially I thought maybe my battery was low, so I plugged in the AC adaptor overnight and in morning it behaved the same way. I have tried all solutions suggested in blogs all over (including removing AC adaptor and battery and hold down power button for a minute, etc.) I am still not able to get my notepad to turn on. I have even tried to have it plugged in for few days, but I get the same thing from it.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me out with this issue.
Thanks.

Have you tried to start it with just the power adaptor connected and the battery removed? Have you disconnected all external devices that may be attached to the notebook?

Webcam not detected

Hello.
I have a trouble using my built-in laptop camera. Recently I installed Win7, downloaded all Youcam Cyberlink drivers from my laptop driver page, but the YouCam app can not detect the camera.
Please, help me fix this unpleasant situation.
Thank you.

Sounds your webcam has failed and you need to replace it. Did you uninstall and reboot and reinstall the driver/software again and the same problem was there? If so then you need a replacement webcam.
