Pinout for HP Mini 5101 Camera (BN81U50U-000)

I got an old HP Mini 5101 that was broken and decided to just harvest parts from it. I've seen people on the internet make a USB web cam out of old laptop cameras and wanted to try it but just can't find the pinout for this camera anywhere. Does anyone know the pinout of this camera? Thanks!
Pro tip, if it's hard to see the image, just right click on it and open it in a new tab, then you can zoom in.

  • What cable do I need for my Mini DV camera?

    Just switched over from a PC to a Macbook Pro. My Firewire cable that I used with my Canon Elura 70 Mini DV camera doesn't work with the Macbook Pro.

    What kind of cable do I need to purchase? Thank you.

    There are very affordable ones at this store.

  • HT2101 my i phne was exposed to a little water and then i put it under a table lamp to ensure ebvaporation of water . During this the phone was switched off. Later when i turned the phone n , it worked pine for 5 min and then the temp alarm came. Need hel

    Hi my iphone showed signs of moisture in camera area and so i kept it under a table lamp for a few hrs after switching off the phone. Later the moisture was gone so i switched on the phone and after 5 min of perfect operation an High temp alarm came. Every time i switch off the phone works fro 5 min and ten gets the alarm. How can i get my phone back to normal?

    Thanks for the reply, just being positive as the phone turns on fine and every thing works ok for 5 min and then the temperature alarm comes on. I am hoping that the issue may be limited to a perticular temperature sensor etc.
    I have got the phone opened and there was little water signs that have been cleaned with alcohol but the issue remains the same. I believe that the temp alarm is caused due to the phone being kept under the table lamp which raised the phones temp beyond the acceptable range and hence may be damaged one of the temp sensors. Heard that there are around 5 different temp sensors in the iphone. If any one has more knowledge please advise on how i can get this fixed.Thanks.

  • Help.Looking for a new HD/ mini DV camera that will work with FCP ExpressHD

    I just bought a imac with final cut express HD and am looking to buy a new HD/mini DV camera for under $900.00 that i will have no problems with my mac.I was looking at the Sony-HDR-HC3 HD mini which i found for $700.00 and that seemed pretty good.Does any one have any suggestions??I would greatly appreciate it.

    When you say no problems with your Mac are you aware of the workflow difficulties editing HDV? e.g monitoring via external HD monitor is an expensive option, burning HD DVD's similarly so.
    However this cam has an HDMI out to enable you to connect to your HDTV to view your recorded content, so if you can live with monitoring through your computer for editing, this is a decent camera for the $$'s.
    A friend of mine has a Sony DCR-HC96 and is pleased with the larg(ish) single CCD, giving improved low light capabilities over other domestic miniDV camcorders.
    At around $500, it is a miniDV alternative worthy of consideration, if more suitable for your budget without the HDV editing headaches.
    It depends whether you really need/want HDV rather than SD and what your final output requirements are.
    Good Luck, Dave

  • Canon mini Disk camera doesn't work if external drive connected

    A long story.      Anyway, I have a MacPro Intel Dual Core 266 Ghz with 5 Gbs RAM,  4 internal hard drives HD1~HD4 (HD1 OSX 250 and three 500Gb) and two external HD5 (two partitions~HD5 & Time Machine Backups) and HD6 (1 Tb each).
    I've been using a Canon mini DV video camera FV-M10 (Firewire 400) for live video (Skype/iChat) and also for importing video into Final Cut Express, After Effects or iMovie up until a few days ago.  Both "live" video and from the recorded mini cassette tape.  Then all of a sudden not one of the software recognized my camera anymore.  I tried both Firewire 800/400 and USB2 connections using a few different cables. In Skype...(sometimes) it automatically shows the name FV-M10 in the camera slot, but the screen is black.  No, I checked if I left the cover on.  I checked my Sony WX-5 digital camera and see if that is recognized.  Yes, both pics and AVCHD videos are seen using the USB connection. 
    The problem started like this.
    I was downloading a file.  Had to work for an hour and when I came back upstairs.  I noticed that the screen was frozen.   So, I shut the Mac down.  And when I started it again, well nothing happened except for a grey screen.  A half~sized cursor was stuck up in the top left.  But, my mouse also had a cursor which was movable.  
    It wouldn't even recognize the OSX Install Disk holding down "C" or "Option".  Only starting with "Shift" held down, "Safe Boot"  could I use the basics like Mail, Safari, Firefox.   NO sound and no video. Tried a few times as well as cleaned my OSX HD1 hard drive and re-installed from "Safe Boot" mode".   So, I had it sent into Apple Tokyo for repairs.   Apple put in a new board.     Great!      I came it back in two days.   I cleaned the OSX hard drive and re-installed Mac OSX with the up-dates as well and got some of my main backed up stuff Mail, bookmarks, address book etc.   It started fine.     But, when I went to use Skype, iChat, iMovie or Final Cut Express  they still couldn't recognize my camera.  I had been using the Canon FV M10 camera for a few years with both external hard drives on.  There were never any problems until just before I sent it into the shop.
    There was only one way to use my camera.  Un-Plug the external HD6.  Then the camera functions fine.  but remember I had been using this camera with both HD's for around two years without any problems.
    Notes on symptoms:  and what actions I took.  
    Front connections: FW400 Canon camera.  FW800 (Tried connecting HD6)  
    Rear Connections: USB2 1) MidiMan 2 x2   2) mouse  3) Canon Printer
                                   FW400 HD5  FW800 (tried HD6)
    With HD6 Connected.
    iMovie 11 9.02 : Start iMovie  O.K.  No camera on.   Turned camera "on" then "No Camera Connected" notice came up.   (did this a few times)   Turned camera off.   Quit iMovie. 
    2nd start:  Camera On.   iMovie freezes.   Spinning Colored beach ball.   I then Force Quit Option-Apple-ESC
    iMovie shows (not responding)  When I turn off the camera.  (not responding) disappears and iMovie is working again.  But, "No Camera Connected" shows again.  Quit!
    Un-Plugged (Ejected) HD6.
    When I un-plugged HD6,    (tried both the front and rear connections).   iMovie still on.  
    "No Camera Connected"  I Quit iMovie.
    Re-start iMovie:  Camera on… Live video and record miniDV tape can both be seen. 
    Skype:  Both live video and mini DV tape recording even plays back over Skype screen.
    iChat (same as Skype) O.K.
    Since Apple replaced the board 661-3932 Card Video, NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT which cost just about $X00.00  (¥XX,000).   I assume that they don't also check all the connections etc. I mean from the connector to the video board.
    The call to Apple Tokyo today.  
    Just talked to Apple (Mac) Tokyo about my computer problem.  Seems like they're trying to squeeze their way of more repairs by saying I have a hard drive configuration problem.   But it doesn't seem like that!   I worked with it 2~3 hours today...and  here is the basic problem.
    I've used the Canon FV M10 mini DV camera with Skype, iChat, iMovie and FCEx for few  years  (HD6) is over a year old-the most recent add on) with no problem.    With both external 1Tb hard drives.  And Apple said that it's a 3-party problem.  (different makers etc.)  But, it's NOT!     Yes, they put in a new board.   But, I'd say the problem is from the connection (where I plug the cable into the Mac)  to the board. 
    When I connect HD6 (1Tb ext hard drive).   FW 800 (either back or front connection) the video camera doesn't work in  Skype, iChat, iMovie, or Final Cut Express.     If I eject and Un-Plug HD6  all of them work fine.  The camera "live" or the camera playing back the mini DV tape video.
    Wouldn't this be a problem between the connections (front & back) to the new video board?  Or does anyone have an answer.   Apple seems to have said, "We can't help you".   Please someone help!  thanks

    +My mini isn't responding to startup commands like "C" or "D" from the keyboard.+
    You'll need a wired usb keyboard for these commands to work -- and the Apple Aluminum keyboard won't work either.
    But just about any PC usb keyboard will work. Alt maps to Option and Win-key to CMD.

  • Mini 5101 battery life

    I bought a new HP Mini 5101 (FU355EA, 4 cell battery) a few days ago and installed WIndows 7 on it. Even when fully charged, the battery doesn't last very long. Although HP says the battery is supposed to last for about 4 to 4 and a half hours, I get about 2 and a half, even in Win7 power saving mode (right now the battery is at about 86% with 2 hours and 7 minutes remaining). Should I be worried or is this normal because the Mini is new and using a more advanced OS than XP Home it came with?
    Thanks!

    I have had the same problem as you. I installed Microsoft XP, I've just bought it on May 31st. I've heard of the battery can use in range from 3.5 to 5 hours, but mine only runs more than 2 hours. I dont use so many applications on the same time. Just 3G signal turn on, MS Office applications,without watching films or playing games.
    I have asked for help from HP technical service. It seems no help. The reason I decided to buy HP mini 5101 is battery run for a long time, but the truth is in the opposite. Where could I get help with this? God knows (

  • Hp Mini 5101 Freezes While Installing Windows....All versions, xp,vista,7,8.....Nothing Takes

    I refurbish companies retired computers as part of my business, part of our agreement is the machines all come blank, they delete partitions and wipe the entire hdd multiple times prior to my getting them, Most are as simple as reinstalling windows and any missing drivers and they are complete machines again, I currently have been working on an hp mini 5101 off and on for a couple of weeks now that I have been unable to get to take a copy of windows, and I have tried them all, xp, vista, 7, 8 and none have taken, I tried running ubuntu as a live cd and same as windows during the gui windows loading screen the machine freezes, I even tried popping the hdd out and throwing it into my other hp machine and doing a windows install with an hp windows 7 32 bit install disc, when installed hdd back in machine it again freezes when it reaches the animated windows graphic, I have searched forums, here and the internet in general, and have found no other mention of this occuring, i have found reference to the screen doesnt support it so people see the vista screen instead but i see the windows 7 screen then freeze during the animation. I am assuming (yes i know what happens when you assume, thats why i am here asking for help) this is somehow bios related from their prior use of the machine, I had some toshibas that come in that required a certian mode be changed from ahci to compatablity in order to install windows, I know that the company that had it got it with a vista key and an xp downgrade, I am trying to install 7 on it.
    Any other information I may have left out let me know,
    Thank you for any help you may be able to give

    Hi MidwayIT,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP Mini 5101 and freezing after loading Windows. If it freezes on the loading screen it could be the graphics card. Have you performed a hardware test?
    Please let me know.

  • Need suggestion for small USB/FW camera for chat

    I have an old (Tiger, PPC) laptop. My wife has an old (Panther, PPC) mini. I'm going on a trip and want to use Skype or iChat to be able to see the kids when we talk. Can someone suggest a camera USB/firewire camera which would be good for this purpose? I don't need too many fancy features but it would be nice if it weren't big and heavy (since I'll be traveling with mine). If it's on a flexible stick or mounts to the top of the monitor/laptop screen, that would be great. I see a bunch on Amazon but it's not clear which work with Panther/Tiger, which have Mac drivers, etc. Thank you!
    Mike

    Hi,
    Yes and no (Again)
    Any Camera is going to have to suit your Mac and it's input ports.
    iUSBCam Utility only works for iChat.
    It was originally designed to get the External iSight working on G3 computer less that 600Mghz.
    Very quickly they added in the USB 1.1 camera option (At a push you could get a USB 1.1 camera to work n a G3/450Mghz processor as well)
    It only works for iChat though. Or rather it is need for iChat as it manipulates the video from the camera into something iChat will accept.
    I am not that sure if the current version of Skype will work with an older Camera.
    If it does it will still need a Mac Driver for it if you only have USB 1.1 port on your computer.
    There are two main Third Party Drivers out there for this (If the camera Manufacturer does not supply a Mac Driver)
    Macam
    and IOXperts
    The IOXperts site does list a Firewire Driver for earlier OS versions (As it was not included originally) the OS has Firewire driver form about OS 10.2
    They also state on their Site some restriction and workaround are needed for certain apps.
    Summary.
    The same info about camera types and Drivers still applies in the broadest sense.
    You will not need the iSUBCam thing for Skype.
    However I have not used Skype in some while and don't know if they still support USB 1.1 cameras.
    NOTES
    In theory as Skype does not produce such good a Video Pic as iChat it uses less processor power to create the Video stream.
    However strangely this can have positive effects in lower Spec Machines as they can then produce a coherent Stream rather than something that breaks up due to their Processor not keeping up.
    You seem to mention that you have Laptop running Tiger and the specs suggest this is a G4
    What is the Mac Mini's processor.
    Panther itself is not the limiting factor.
    It is Input ports and availability of cameras to suit that.
    Any G4 processor is going to let you have one to one chats - subject to the Internet Access at each end (Hotels can be a nightmare).
    For the points

  • Best webcam for Mac mini core solo?

    What is the best webcam to use for my Mac Mini with an older display - is MacAlly icecam 2 sufficient? and i'm still on 10.4.11. Many thanks for your kind responses.

    I've been looking into webcams for my mini and have noticed that some webcams whilst the video works, the sound doesn't. I have an old webcam which my wife uses on our windows box, and I got it working on my mac using the Macam drivers http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/ The only problem was that the microphone wasn't supported, a recurring trend!! From my investigations the Logitech Quick Cam Vision Pro for Mac seems to be the best available, but it is a bit expensive £89.99 here in the UK.

  • What to look for in a video camera

    i have an apple ibook 700 mhz with imovie....but ill be buying a mac mini within the next few months so i will then have idvd..what are some things that i need to make sure i look for in a video camera. like i dont want to buy something that isnt going to be compatible with my ibook/macmini. im assuming i want a mini dv recorder. any help is greatly appreciated thanks

    ... ah,we had that a while ago... no bookmark... hm?? :
    * miniDV, no miniDVD/flashmem/whatever..
    * firewire connected (all miniDV do so, some call it iLink or IE1394) ask dealer for a cable! (some manufacturers "forget" to include...)
    * stay with the big brands, no exotic cheapos...
    * I highly recommend Sony, pic & audio quality perfect! very good energy management ("stamina")
    * in case you need: look for ext. mic plug-in
    * in case you need conversion from analogue (beta, VHS, PSP..), look for analogue-IN
    * spending BigBucks: HD is a nice-have, but besides playback to tape no other media in sight ("HDDVD")
    * 3ccd has "better" pic quality, better lowlight/lowkey quality
    * you shouldn't pay for any in-camera-fx (sepia, posterize, ...), you'll do that in iMovie...
    * get hands-on experience in shop! some cameras are too small...
    * set camera to 16bit audio (my Sony "prefers" 12bit - NoGo with iApps)
    * get a tripod

  • My  sony hdv 1080i mini dv camera won't capture

  • VHS Capture Through Mini DV Camera...

    I am sending the "OUT" of my VCR to the "IN" of my mini DV camera to capture VHS tapes into Premiere through firewire.
    Will this cause a level of compression from the mini DV camera or is it simply a pass through with NO compression?
    Thanks!

    No, DV is a mild compression. Let's be clear - "uncompressed" video is only used for the highest quality broadcast-type work and takes specialized hard drives and capture cards to work with, and is severe overkill considering VHS is the source. DV is a great choice for what you are doing. Consider that DV uses about 5:1 compression, while DVD is 25:1 or so. To put things in perspective, there are practically no cameras out there that even shoot "uncompressed" video, as they all use some type of compression (not talking about RED or super-high end units).

  • LINUX Adobe Flash Player and MINI-DV CAM

    Hello,
    I Have Mini-DV camcoder Sony DCR-TRV130 connected with my PC
    over FireWire cable.
    I have installed Linux Ubuntu Feisty Fawn on my Desktop PC.
    Also i use FireFox version 2.0.0.3.
    I have installed adobe flash player (plugin for FireFox)
    version 9,0,31,0
    My Mini-DV Sony Cam works with some software like Kino and
    others but Adobe flash player don't want to recognise my CAMERA.
    Example here:

    If i connect some other webcam like Intel adobe flash player
    works just fine

    version 9,0,28,0
    ANY COMMENT ARE WELCOMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    PLEASE HELP OR ANY HINT!!
    THANKS!!

    A little late for the original questioner, but here's the
    explanation.
    In Linux Webcams and TV-capture cards use the Video 4 Linux
    API (application programming interface) to detect, configure, and
    use those devices. They appear as devices named /dev/video? - where
    ? is some number. USB webcams use the USB Video Class (UVC) driver,
    or a device-specific driver that handles the USB device and makes
    it available as a V4L device.
    DV camcorders using IEEE-1394 aka Firewire aka i.Link use the
    /dev/video1394 or /dev/raw1394 device interfaces which handle all
    sorts of Firewire devices, not just cameras. So far no one has
    created a generic IEEE1394 <> Video 4 Linux bridge like the
    UVC driver and therefore DV cameras aren't available to
    applications that only look for Video 4 Linux devices. There is a
    hint of this support being at least planned.
    For more information on Linux IEEE-1394 support see:
    http://wiki.linux1394.org/Introduction
