Satellite L500-1WG - Built in web cam is not working

My built in web cam doesnt seem to be working, I discovered this last week and i've tried a few solutions such as uninstalling then reinstalling the driver but that work.
Also I delete my system restores to save space so I can't really go back to when it did work.
I don't think that i've installed any webcam drivers lately so I don't think it was that.
Help?

Hmmmm.....what can be done now?
Generally speaking webcam driver reinstall should help but you have tried it already.
Which operating system do you use?
Try to remove web camera application again, clean registry and all entries there, restart notebook and try to install right webcam driver again.
I really dont know what else you can try.
By the way: what is the webcam status in device manager?

  • Web-Cam does not work on Lenovo G480, PLEAS HELP!!

    Hello,
    I have a Lenovo G480 (20165), and my built-in Web-Cam is not working.
    When I enable it by pressing Fn+Esc the little light by the Web-Cam turns on, then shuts off after a second.
    So I downloaded the Lenovo Easy Capture, and when I open the software, I get a message saying "Failed To Open Camera".
    And when I turn on my laptop, the little light comes on for a short moment, then the light shuts off.
    I don't know what to do, It's a brand-new laptop and I've never been able to get the Web-Cam to work, not even on Skype.
    I would REALLY appreciate the help. Thank you!

    Have you installed camera drivers from the us support site? Try reinstalling them

    Check if the drivers are installed or not.
    Try to update the camera drivers and restart the system.
    You can also go to device manager setting and see if the webcam is disabled or not.
    If everything fails try system resore or run OS recovery.

  • HP Compaq web cam is not working

    I have Hp Compaq  Notebook 620. The devices have 2MP Web Cam but the Web Cam is not working. When i try to make it on, its shows error
    "No webcam detected. HP Webcam will now Close"
     Please suggest the solution of the problem.

    Hello Manishshakya,
    I see that you are having problems with the webcam on your computer. The unit you have is a HP commercial unit.
    I would suggest posting your problem in the HP Commercial Forum as well. There are more users with the computer you have on this board and it is specific to your computer.

  • Hp TrueVision HD web cam does not work. The light will come on but no image appears in the window.

    Hi.
     I have an HP Pavilion dv7 6178us Entertainment PC I just bought it last week. My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 64 bits.
    The problem I have is that yesterday I install Skype in the computer and realized that the HP TrueVision HD web cam does not work. The light right next to the web cam will light up but no image will appear on the screen.
    I have checked the software that  I have in the computer for the webcam and the program is CyberLink YouCam BE version 3.5.
    But the web cam does not work. The light right next to it will turn on when I activate Cyberlink, Skype or Messenger but no actual image will come out in computer screen. The computer is fully updated BIOS, Windows 7 and HP.
    But the web cam is not working. Could you help me fix this problem?
    Best regards:
    JEIO71

    I have a pavilion dv6 notepad. it's about a year old.
    about a month ago internal webcam truevision hd stop working.
    Called hp tech. they sent a box for me to ship the laptop.
    they hp tech attempted to correct the problem via internet
    did not work.
    wanted me to do a restore to factory setting i stopped him there.
    Webcam detected in device manager.
    the webcam light come on but no image.
    I actually see the back drop through the image space.
    running windows 7, fully updated.
    I found many comments on the web about the webcam connector disconnecting.
    But if it was the case with my computer, the webcam would not be detected.
    Many other comments suggests to do a restore to factory setting but \i read also that
    does not work often.
    I read many comments where disappointed clients believe hp should update
    the software but the driver is actually microsoft dating back to june 2006.
    Is it possible it's  a hardware problem, ie webcam is burned out.
    I have received a box to sent it and know they will do a system restore.
    Don't feel to go that way.
    Many comments refers to hp making an effort to get a driver update.
    ps I decided to purchase a logitech webcam, works perfectly.
    What else can I do to fix this problem.
    Can hp send me another internal webcam.

  • Re: Web Camera is not working on Satellite T130

    I have a Satellite T130 and the web camera has just stopped working.
    Can anyone tell me how to get this going again please?
    Thanks

    Also check the BIOS, on some models there is an option to disable the Webcam in the BIOS.
    And also ensure Skype, Messenger, or other programs that use the webcam are not running, only one application can use the webcam at a time.

  • Satellite C650-197 Built In Microphone and Jacks not working

    As the title, I tried to use the my microphone that comes inbuilt on this model (integrated VGA Web Camera with built-in microphone) and found its not working. Tried to plug in an external microphone via the mic jack and still not recording.
    I cant seem to find the drivers for the inbuilt or the jack anywhere.
    Any ideas?

    Hi
    > I cant seem to find the drivers for the inbuilt or the jack anywhere.
    Such drivers dont exist. The sound card driver controls everything.
    I think you should firstly start the webcam software and should test the mic because the internal mic is a part of the webcam.
    The webcam software provides an tab; settings and properties. In one of these tabs you would find settings for audio.
    There you could increase the mic volume and could record small audio session.
    Additionally I recommend checking the settings in control panel -> sound.
    Be sure that mic volume is set to max. Don't forget to check hidden and disabled devices there...
