Pavilion dv6 hp true vision hd inbuilt webcam not working or even detected by any program !

I've a problem with my brand new Laptop. my integrated HP truevision HD webcam is not recognized by either I've the same problem. my integrated HP truevision HD webcam is not recognized by either You cam software or even Skype or any other program.
I already used HP assistant to update whatever need to be updated but still I face the same problem,. please help !!
My Laptop is HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook
Product number : LS243EA#ABV
Serial number : [edited by Moderator]
operating system is windows 7 home premium 64 bit

This is hilarious.
**NOTE** I am a video editor who makes a lot of custom sports movies.
I bought my Dv6 back in March. I tried the HD Cam once. It worked and I was amazed at how clear and crisp the video was.
Fast Forward 2 months. For no particular reason. I go to skype my parents. But my camera won't work. I look all over the laptop for a reason it's no working. In two months I've managed to install custom programs for my A/V production with all kinds of add ons. Various other programs for viewing and testing. I've made several productions utilizing about 650GB of my 1TB harddrive.
After checking out the web for a driver, I find HP doesn't have a driver on their support site for this model. So I check the forums and find this isn't an isolated issue. I call up technical support and after all the same troubleshooting I did, their fix is. Close all open programs, reboot, and restore back to manufacturer. That's it. No care about anything I've got installed or saved. The support person tells me this is the only fix. As HP has no known driver to resolve the issue.
{Content Removed: Language Filter Evasion} kind of shady support is that? HP Distributes a high end personal laptop with no known support for a pretty well known existing issue?

Sony Viao inbuilt webcam not working after Windows 10 update

Hi thereJust updated to Windows 10 and now my inbuilt webcam is not working. Skype can't even recognise it.Under device manager it says there is a USB device with an error, but it doesn't say what it is. Disabling, uninstalling and restarting, and updating drivers do not work.I had windows 8 and 8.1 prior to this and the webcam worked fine. Please helpThanks in advanceMark

Hi mtaylor748,
Thank you for considering Sony Community!
Most probably the issue is with the Windows 10 driver since you mentioned the unit works with Windows 8 and 8.1. Unfortunately, we do not have the updated drivers for Windows 10 yet. Sony is still validating the updates from certain vendors and testing Vaio computers. You may check the announcement from Sony USA: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/os10upgrade.pl? I'm note quite sure about the process in other country but feel free to contact Sony support in your location.
For further assistance, we kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Vincent

HP Pavilion dv6 2670qm - Windows 7 - USB ports do not power iPAD mini

All of my USB ports work fine with media drives and to connect to my Android phone.
My problem is that they don't provide power to my iPAD mini. i spent 45 minutes at the Apple store uninstalling the Apple mobile drivers and iTunes and re-installing them. The Apple tech recommended that course of action. Unfortunately it made no difference, still no power to the iPAD mini. My iPAD mini and cable work with other laptops but not my dv6 2670qm.
My iPAD mini has never worked on my laptop.
Any Suggestions?

Hi Super Mario,
Thank you for your quick reply. In the second paragraph of my post, I noted that the iPad mini and cable work with other laptops, both x86 and Apple (tested at home and the Apple store). It works for charging and iTunes on all of the other computers we have tried. Neither of those functions work on the HP dv6, in fact be iPad doesn’t even indicate that there is not enough power or that it is an incompatible port (the error messages referenced in the article). It does nothing at all when plugged into the dv6’s USB ports.
The Apple article you referenced indicates that the USB port must be at a certain power level. Can you confirm the power level for the USB ports on the dv6 Intel 2670qm? It seems like a lot of people have trouble with the USB ports on the dv6 based on the posts. Can you think of any other explanation for in the non-recognition of the iPad mini?
Thanks again.

Microphone and Webcam not working/Webcam not recognized by YouCam

Hello,
I have a dv7-6c95dx and my YouCam program tells me that it does not recognize my integrated webcam. I have read all of the webcam forums on this site and clicked on all of the links people have posted in the forums. I have uninstalled the CyberLink YouCam program and it still comes up with the same messages. The webcam also does not show up in my device manager. The microphone is malfunction as well, it will not work any any programs including skype.
I have heard that the webcam can come unplugged internally, will that also cause the microphone to stop working? I have run out of options and I do not want to pay anyone to fix it. I would appreciate any advice on this subject.

Hi DillOrNoDill,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx Notebook and sound and microphone issues and Webcam not working correctly. I would be happy to assist if needed. Try these steps first.
1. Right click speaker icon (right hand corner)
2. Select Playback devices
3. Right click Speakers
4. Enable it and set as Default
5. Click Apply/Ok
You could also try Microsoft troubleshooter located on your Notebook.
Here is a document on WebCam troubleshooting. The Webcam will be listed in your device manager under Imaging devices. You should be able to click the action button and scan for new hardware.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

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.

HDMI sound. Pavilion DV6. Windows 7. TV sound was working via HDMI. Now switched off?

I connected the pavilion dv6 to the tv with an HDMI cable. Sound and vision were working on the tv after setting the TV to HDMI.
My Grandson discovered that their was no sound from the computer and, unknown to me, changed something to get sound from the computer speakers which stopped sound from the tv.
How do I get sound back to the tv via HDMI. How do you switch from computer to tv sound and back ? can you have both at once ?
malcolm

Hi Malcolm,
Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Display Devices - make a note of the hardware listed here i.e. ATI, Nvidia or Intel.
Next, connect your notebook via HDMI to your Tv. Right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click once ( just to highlight the entry ) the HDMI Output that has the same name as your display adapter and then click the Set Default button - see if you now have audio.

I have a HP Pavilion dv6-6153ca Entertainment Notebook PC the youcam stop working all of the suddem.

Hello I currently have brand new HP Pavilion dv6-6153ca only 3 month old and the built in web cam stop working just like that.
I running window 7 after installing the HP assistant the webcam reference desapear from my device manager.
Can somebody please tell me how to get my camera back? how do i know if the physical part is broken?
somebody help me please.

id recommend backing up all of your data initally and doing a system restore an HP tech walked me through their
factory system restore option process from boot up, HP has a boot key function installed on the hp pavillion dv6
6153ca model(s) (all of their systems probably) calling the 1-800 support number is under warranty and free for
a system restore or at least it still could be, for me, it still was, the tech helped me out with initiallizing that process
which took approximately 15-20 min of his time to direct me on a factory restored install on my system on an unrelated
incident i had with windows 7 user locks and permissions i rendered inalterable or seemingly to me ,he helped me through
an HP factory restore and i was completed a few hours later with everything configured/installed/transfered if the
restore fails to reactivate the camera/or eliminate the conflict, you can remove the black plastic LCD screen cover
by unsnapping the plastic clip-based cover off around the perimeter of the screen and checking the white lead to the
top left of the camera or the power pin connection on the top right if theres a physical problem write down the camera
part # and you can order a replacement cam from HP or use the part number online at a search engine and procure/get the
part there either a tech or yourself could do the replacement from there

USB devices and Webcam not working or installing on Pavilion Laptop

Hi there,
I have a HP Pavilion Dm3 1030 sa,
For a while now certain USB devices have just not worked on the laptop, specifically printers and mice, despite me reinstalling the drivers for those devices on the laptop. I tried the devices on other computers and they worked fine.
This was annoying but I put up with it.
Now the webcam and microphone have stopped working and are no longer recognised by the computer. I have reinstalled the webcam software but cannot find the drivers for it. The software (arc soft webcam) says the inbuilt webcam is not connected.
I have been able to get my iphone to connect via usb and usb drives work most of the time. I don't really know what is going on. When I look at devices that don't work in device manager It says that there is a USB I/O error. I have tried reinstalling the drivers using device manager but that didn't work either. Any advice would be appreciated. Not being able to use a mouse is annoying as track pads are slow.

Is my notebook in the warranty period? No (three months out)
Is the originally installed OS still installed (Yes)
Have I changed the partitions (NO)
Thanks for any help

HP Pavilion G6-1113eo webcam not working

Hello,
I have a HP Pavilion G6-1113eo with Windows 7 and the integrated webcam stopped working just a few weeks after I bought it. I have several times tried reinstalling and updating the driver program (cyberlink youcam) but nothing seems to help. What should I do? Cyberlink can't find the webcam at all. The Youcam program is not so important to me, if it is easier to get the camera working without it.
So what to do? I wouldn't like to do a recovery of Windows as I feel it could happen again at any time.

Sounds like the hardware has failed.
If your warranty was still valid it should be replaced.
If not, if you don't fancy replacing it yourself (eBay), just buy a USB webcam is probably the handiest.
