Problem with built in camerar - HP Pavilion dv6000 - windows 7 home premium

hello 
i own a hp pavilion dv600 laptop with windows 7 home premium sp 1 installed
yesterday during an skype conversation all of a sudden i lost the camera.
at the start of the skype call i saw and heard  the other party and they saw and heard me perfectly.
then without doing anything all of a sudden my camera went dead.
i checked in device manager and cant see the built in webcam anywhere and neither can skype under the options menu see the camera.
i restarted the PC and shut it down completely to no avail.
any suggestions on how to get the camera back?

Hi,
Try this alternative method as follows.
Unless you still have the installer, download the latest version of HP Support Assistant from the page on the link below - the download links are towards the bottom of the page - and save the installer to your Downloads folder.
http://h18021.www1.hp.com/helpandsupport/hp-support-assistant.html
Next, if you don't have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip.  Please note, if you have a 64bit installation, download and install the .msi 64-bit x64 installer on the link below.
http://www.7-zip.org/
Next, right click the HPSA installer you download earlier, select 7-Zip, select extract files and then click Ok.  Open the newly extracted folder, right click on UninstallHPSA and select 'Run as Administrator' - you may well see no progress of this attempted uninstallation, so leave the notebook to idle for a good 10 minutes before restarting it.
Open your Downloads folder and delete the ‘extracted HPSA folder’ so you are just left with the original installer you downloaded.
Now, run the Microsoft 'Fixit' on the link below and use it to install the new version of HPSA.

'Provost' is just a term from HPs Forum Ranking.
All the best,

  • Problem swapping Display Assembly on HP Pavilion dv6000

    I have an HP Pavilion dv6000, Windows Vista.  It has a stuck pixel producing a red line on my screen.  Fortunately, I have another dv6000 with a bad motherboard that I can cannibalize for parts.  Unfortunately, I am stuck on trying to remove the Display Assembly.
    Specifically, in the Maintenance and Service Guide, on page 5-34, the book says to remove the two screws holding the display assembly.  The screws are in the corner, so I removed all four screws.  However, the display assembly will not budge from the computer.  Also, on page 5-35, the book says to disconnect the display cable.  I cannot figure out how to do that.  It will not budge.  Further, it says to remove the microphone cable.  The only other cable that is next to the display cable is the cable that was connected to the switch cover. 
    Can someone give me some guidance on this?  I would really appreciate it.  Thanks!

    Hi:
    1. Install this driver for the coprocessor.  If it does not install the driver automatically, manually install it as follows:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-55781-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
    Go to the device manager and click on the coprocessor needing the driver.  Click on the driver tab.  Click on Update Driver.
    Select the browse my computer for driver software option and browse to the driver folder that was created when you ran the file.  That folder will be located in C:\SWSetup\sp37730.
    Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked and the driver should install.  Then reboot.
    2 & 3. Install this driver for the base system devices (card reader).
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-55777-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
    4. No such thing.  All BIOS flashes must be run in Windows and only with the supported operating system (Vista).
    If you make any attempt to flash the BIOS when running any other operating system but Vista, you can take your notebook straight to the trash bin.
    5. Your notebook is not supported by HP for W7, W8 or W8.1, so I imagine there is a driver problem of some kind or another with which I would not be able to help you with as there is probably no solution to it.
    You can try manually installing the Vista graphics driver from your notebook's support page in the remote chance that may get the hdmi to work properly.
    6. Video adapter upgrades can't be done.

    I have successfully installed it immediately after OS installation. But today, i have decided to deinstall it and go for Oracle 10g version for 32 bit.

    SaqibNo need to install a fresh OS. That's like tearing your house down just because you wired a lamp wrong and blew a circuit breaker.
    There are MeaLink notes on how to eradicate an Oracle install from Windows, but it boils down to this:
    Stop all Oracle services
    In the registery:
    - Delete all oracle services from the register (HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet
    - Delete the entire Oralce folder from HKLM\Software
    reboot
    Delete the ORACLE_HOME directory and any other Oracle related directories/files. Offhand, it seems like there is an Oracle directory under Program Files.
    reboot

  • Problem with line items print in Script MAIN window.

    Dear Friends,
    I am facing a problem with display the line items in main window.
    Here i have created my form with 2 pages,
    in first page i have created header window(my header information is full length of page), in second page i have created 2 windows, one for MAIN window and second for FOOTER window,
    i am having the Footer information about to off the page.
    and in my main window total 3 line items are coming, if i am having 3 line items then it is displaying properly (first 3 line items then immediately footer information on same page) but if am having more then 3 line items say four, then in my second page first it is printing 3 line items then it is switching into another page. After that footer is coming but. in previous page after printing 3 line items the remaining page is empty..
    my client want me to remove that place also. he wants to display continue..
    i think so u people r understand what is my problem...pls advice me what i want to do to solve this problem.
    Thanks
    Sridhar.

    Hi Sridher,
    If you want to display the footer information only on the last page why dont you use a table to display your details and place the footer details in the table footer instead of a seperate footer window.

  • Problem with built in Sound

    I have this simple PE NEO-2 motherboard .. and i use the built in sound of the board... the problem i m having is that the sound suddenly disappears during the game.. or other music application... sometime it disappear after 2 min or some time after couple of hours...
    So is my board faulty... or problem with drivers or bios update.??
    Thanks

    k.
    well basiclly, when i had the same sound card on my 865PE Neo 2, it had the same problems. take battlefield Vietnam for example, the jet sounds would disappear after a while and come bak very very choppy, as did the weapon sounds. they actually reversed the sound. playing prom back to front.
    The problem is the card it self. MSI take no pride what so ever in their sound.
    the only way to fix, is either lower sample rate, which resluts in cracklier sound, updating drivers, which sometimes dont work, or just simply upgrading your sound card.
    because of this problem i went out and baught my self a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS Platinum pro.
    frankly.
    it i WELL worth the money.
    if you want a budget card but still verry good, look for the Sound Blaster Live range. verry verry good.
    Hope i am of some service to you all

  • Having Problems with built in iSight

    Hi,
    I am having problems with the computer finding my built in iSight camera, I just updated to Mountain Lion and now no applications recognise it.
    I have tried turning it off and on again, and switching to different users, but none can identify a connected camera.
    Help?
    Specs Here
    Thanks
    Frankie

    Hi englishguru,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You may find the steps in this article helpful for troubleshooting the camera on your MacBook:
    How to Troubleshoot iSight
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2090
    Since you've determined that the behavior isn't user specific, try these steps:
    3. Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
    Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
    4. Reset SMC or PMU
    Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)
    If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
    Regards,
    Jeremy

  • Problems with built-in iSight and iChat! Nothing works!!

    Hello,
    i have a problem with my iChat, iChat said that no camera is connected, but the built-in iSight works with Photobooth!
    I read many Threads here but no solution works,
    there is also an entry in the system profiler USB --> built-in iSight
    I closed all other Aplications like Photobooth, iMovie and so on,
    than i checked the activity monitor.
    I changed the settings in iChat (bandwith) and Quicktime (bandwith)
    I did a PRAM reset...nothing changed!
    I did a SMC reset...also nothing changed!
    The built-in iSight doesnt works with Skype, too!
    Please help me!

    Hey, I hope people aren't getting annoyed by my compulsive posting, but I think this solution needs to be spread, it doesn't get enough publicity:
    the issue is that with 10.5.1, a certain quicktime component that acts as a USB controller for the iSight camera is given an expiry time (i.e., the file is given a feature similar to "trial periods"). This file is then deleted, and iSight ceases to function. All that need be done is to replace the component, by downloading it here:
    http://techslaves.org/index.php?PHPSESSID=q8frk8vf81l0f8echu6mj0plk0&action=tpmo d;dl=item16
    (disregard the version marking, it works for 10.5.2 in the very least)
    Copy it to ~/System/Library/Quicktime, then reboot and it should work.

  • Problem with system recovery for a new hard drive in my Pavilion p6210y Windows 7 Premium 64bit

       I decided to swap out  my hard drive when my computer would fail to start up or crash right after starting. Diagnostic tool at startup said the hard drive was faulty and other times I would get BIOHD-1 and BIOHD-2 errors. I replaced the old WD Caviar Blue 640GB with a new Caviar Green 1TB. I ordered and received from HP a system recovery disc set which included five discs labeled:
    Use This First! System Recovery,
    System Recovery 1:1,
    SYstem Recovery 1:3,
    System Recovery 2:3, and
    System Recovery 3:3.
       After putting in the new hard drive I used the "Use This First!" disc and everything seemed to be going fine. The scene showed "Loading Windows" or something like that. After about 10 minutes the CD drive opened and the Monitor showed three images: a big green check mark which I assume meant everything was good up to that point; a graphic showing the removal of the first disc; and a graphic showing three discs to be put in. Wondering whether to put in the System Recovery 1:1 disc or the System Recovery 1:3 disc, I noticed that the drive bay closed with the "Use This First" disc still in. I managed to get the Drive to open after pressing the open button quite a few times. I closed it with the 1:3 disc and nothing happened (no light showing activity in the DVD drive). After a minute or so I managed to get the drive open again after quite a few times pressing the open button. I put in the 1:1 disc and still nothing. At this point I could only open the drive bay with a paper clip in the release hole. With the computer unresponsive and the monitor still showing the same as when the first disc came out, I decided to turn it off with the "Use this First!" disc in the drive hoping to start from the beginning again. Now the directions that came with the HP System Recovery discs state:
       CAUTION: Do not turn off the computer, or use the keyboard or mouse during this time. Doing so will interrupt or damage the software installation.
       Now when I turn the power on I get either:
     the HP blue screen with the green hand, (F11=system recovery), (F9=Diagnostics), (F10=Setup) and (ESC=Boot Menu). pressing esc, F9, F10 or F11 does nothing.
    Or the HP blue screen appears and then almost immediately goes to the black screen with " Reboot and select proper boot device or insert Boot media in select Boot device and press a key". I've gotten this scene while trying almost every System Recovery disc in the drive. Hitting a key does nothing other than repeating the same message.
    Once I got a "The file is corrupt. The file header checksum does not match the computer checksum" error. That appeared only once in about 30 try's.
       The open DVD drive button works sometimes and not other times. I can't seem to figure out a pattern for when it will work.
       I don't know whether I might have accidentally moved the mouse or hit the keyboard during the first attempt. Can I  do something to the new hard drive to get it back to a state where it can start from the beginning again? Might it be a problem other than the old hard drive. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Satellite L505D-S5983
    Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit
    Yes, of course! See the link to your model's spec above.
    My apologies. The previous link went to a spec for the Satellite A505-S6960 (which came with Windows Vista installed). I had too many spec pages open at the same time and got them mixed. 
    So, are you telling me that I won't get this one to work?(the BPKT)
    No. But you may face the problems that I outlined in this message.

  • Problems with built-in isight: colours and fuzziness

    I have just bought a new MacBook, however I seem to have quite a problem with my iSight. When I use it (for example, through Photo Booth) I get an image that is very reddish (it seems like the only colours I get are in the range black-orange-red, and no, I'm not using any special effects like Sepia :)) and that is very fuzzy, or even better, foggy.
    Any fix for this? I have had an iMac with an iSight that only showed black and the solution seemed to be to reset the PMU. However, I cannot find information on how to reset the PMU on my new MacBook.

  • Problem with HP 6500-E709n Wireless software on Windows 7 64-bit

    How do I, or should I, uninstall Microsoft xps printer before installing HP 6500-E709n software on Windows 7 64-bit?
    I have tried installing, uninstalling & reinstalling the software twice now and am preparing for a third installation. I inadvertently left the wireless printer on during the first installation & eversince then, I've had to physically unplug the printer to get it to shut off. Now, the printer will only shut off with the power button if I hit it before the wireless light comes on.  I cannot get the printer key pad keys to function at all, other than turning the power on & off as described above.
    Up to now, I had been using a wireless network flawlessly with a NETGEAR router, untill I tried to install the HP software on my Windows 7 64-bit unit. Now my other computers no longer find the printer....I get the message the printer is off line.
    I have currently unistalled all the HP software and rebooted for the third time. The Microsoft XPS printer now shows as the default printer...& I can't find it in the add-remove program list. Do I need to uninstall it before installing the HP software, or is my problem with the eprom firmware?

  • Problem with 10.2.0.5 patch on Windows 2008 Server R2 64bit

    Hello
    I have HP server with Windows 2008 Server R2 64bit. I installed
    latest 64-bit version of Oracle Database 10.2.0.4 and everything works fine and later installed the patch 10.2.0.5 (64 bits) as the Oracle maintains that with the R2 version of the system it is necessary to correct work.
    Now, after uploading the patch database starts and closes
    after about 15 minutes and my alert log file is changed to the binary version which do not see anything (means that after patch installation (10.2.0.5) the alert log file isn't normal text file and it looks like that:

    You can read only the beginning and it's very large - 13 Mb after unpacking from ZIP.

    Your alertlog is corrupted, it could be something about a virus or even a problem with disk drives. Have you scanned your server with anti-virus software? Have you scanned the disks?
