T400 - Integrated Cam suddenly gone

Hi,
quick question - is there any reason - other than hardware related stuff - that would make the integrated camera be gone? I cannot find it in Bios OR in Windows 7. Driver install tells me no camera found, so does everything else. Nothing within device manager either.
Few months ago i had sent in my thinkpad and got the m/b changed. Could it be that they forgot to reconnect the wires? Had this before with my Bluetooth module... Is there a way for me to fix this myself?
Thanks.
Thinkpad T400 (Windows 7 Ultimate x64)

I don't know but since it is under warranty I would give them a call http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/43y6629_04.pdf page 285

T400 "integrated camera was not found"

Recently my T400 camera just stopped working. When I reinstall the drivers from the Lenovo site, I get a message "the integrated camera was not found". The camera does not show up on my Device Manager. There is one entry in the Device Manager for SM Bus Controller which has a yellow ? and ! on it, but I've been unable to determine that that's for -- I think it was there before the camera stopped working. I saw where one version of Lenovo laptop enabled the camera by pressing Fn + Esc, but that didn't work for me. Neither did multiple reboots. I am using Windows XP with SP3. My group uses MIcrosoft Office Communicator for IM and videoconferencing -- my camera always shows as disabled when I IM and no camer is found to enable in that program. I appreciate your help.

Hi freemama,
For SM Bus Controller typically Intel chipset driver is required. Maybe if you install it then the camera will also start working again, just a thought:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70315
Hope it helps.

T400 Integrated Camera Program Help

Hi
So I did a clean install of windows 7 on my t400 but i forgot to back up the roxio program that came pre-installed with the notebook ): So after installing 7 and a driver for the camera, I am left with no program to use the camera to take photos and record videos. Does anyone have any recommendations on any cheap or free programs?
I downloaded windows move maker to try and use the camera but for some reason, movie maker isnt picking up the integrated camera. Does anyone know a cause to this?
Thanks,
John

T400 - 2763 - CTO: Integrated Camera cannot be detected

I have never been able to get the integrated camera to work since i got this laptop. I have tried mulitple attempts to fix it to no avail. I have tried updating the driver, bios, running the lenovo diagnostis, etc etc.
The interesting thing is that the camera seems to be functional. When I test it using the Lenovo diagnostics it comes on and pass the picture and video test!
But neither gmail video nor WebEx can detect the camera...
Device is working property in Device Manager. Driver Version is 5.8.53003.0 dated 8/3/2009 by Sonix
Any help on this is much appreciated.

I tried uninstalling the Sonix driver and installed the Microsoft Driver Version 6.1.7601.17514. No luck.

How to access Integrated camera from Windows 7 - ThinkPad X301?

Could someone please tell me how to start the integrated camera after installing the driver in Windows 7? I could see the device driver from Device Manager stated that it is properly installed and working fine but I had gone all the program interface to see where to start it proves to no avail. It is unlike Windows XP where it can be accessed from Accessories.

Hi and welcome to the forum jaaj!
What is the 7 character product number of your SL500? It looks like 2668-KHU and can be looked up from the back sticker.
Let us know...

Thinkpad Yoga integrated camera is not working

Hi there,
I have a problem with integrated camera in my Thinkapad Yoga. The camera doesn't work. In manager device there is no such thing like camera. I have installed the newest drivers from Lenovo website but is didn't help. Lenovo Solution Center is reporting about unknown device which is not installed but i can't figure it out what is it.

Hi,
Camera is a USB device. Try updating the USB hub drivers. Update BIOS to the latest version as well. Now try installing the camera drivers.
If it didn’t help, it sounds like a hardware issue with your camera. The cable might have got unplugged or the camera itself would have gone faulty. I would strongly recommend you to contact our technical support for assistance.
Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number. I’m sure they will be a great help.
Best Regards,
Mithun.

X220 integrated camera Windows 8.1 not showing up

Hello,
Im using X220 with Windows 8.1 Pro.
Under Fn + F6 i have TouchPad, Wireless, Battery, Audio
I installed:
- Lenovo Power Management Driver 1.67.04.05
- Lenovo Settings Dependency Package 2.2.0.28
- Lenovo Solution Center 2.4.003.000
- Lenovo System Update 5.06.0016
- On Screen Display 6.71.00
- Ricoh_media_driver_v2.22.18.01
- ThinkPad UltraNav Driver 16.2.19.14
- ThinkVantage Active Protection System 1.79.00.03
And from Microsoft Store:
- Lenovo Settings - which run when i hit fn+f6
Non of driver updater find the built-in camera, same with Deviace Manager.
Lenovo System Update dont download any camera related software.
I understand that somekind of driver need to be installed to be able to turn on the camer.
But non i found activate it.
From what I read it should be in Lenovo Settings with Audio settings, but sadly nothing there.
When I start the build in app "camera" from Windows, it tells me there is no atached camera.
Those are the Lenovo x220 related installed application that showed up in Add/Remove Software.
Sadly the only camera driver from Lenovo page which is: Integrated Camera Driver for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit), Vista (32-bit, 64-bit), XP - ThinkPad , dosn't help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you for confirming.
Here's what I get for your MTM:
ThinkPad X220 (4291-TGY)
i5-2540M(2.6GHz), 4GB RAM, 320GB 7200rpm HD, 12.5in 1366x768 LCD, Intel HD Graphics,
Intel 802.11agn wireless, WWAN option,Bluetooth, 1Gb Ethernet,UltraNav, Secure Chip, 6c Li-Ion,Win7 Pro 32
I notice that there is no mention of a camera. Are you sure your X220 has the physical device installed?
If you use your MTM and your serial number here: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/ibasepartslookup
you should get back a listing of the components installed in your machine at its build. The list can be somewhat cryptic, so please feel free to post it back here and we can dig further.
Regards.

E430c laptop can't read driver for integrated camera

Hi Everyone,
I have a Thinkpad Edge E430c running on Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit and it can't find my integrated camera.
I've downloaded the driver from here http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds028647
When I click through to install, a warning pop up with the words "No Appropriate Driver to be installed".
I've tried clicking on the setup and it says "Can not find the device, Abort install!"
The camera doesn't appear on the list in Device Manager.
I've tried downloading the driver again and rebooting to no avail. I've been trying to solve this problem for many hours, and would appreciate any help.
Tired and close to giving up,
Cam

Good day and welcome to the community.
Sorry you're having difficulties.
One thing to check... Boot into your BIOS, select the Security tab, select I/O Port Access and verify that the Integrated Camera is Enabled. Note that the screens/labels may be slightly different, though, as I'm looking at screenshots of the E420 BIOS.
Regards.

T400 web cam not detected

Neither Skype nor test web sites can detect a web camera.
In Control Panel, the integrated camera is reported as functioning properly.
I have updated the integrated driver software, updated DirectX. No change.
Any ideas?

Wow that's pretty strange and I'm wondering if it's a bug within Vista.
Out of curiosity, can you download this free video capturing software and this works pretty well in detecting a webcam...

I hope this works for you and I'm totally lost for more additional clues. Is your T400 still under warranty?

X1 Carbon integrated camera working but not showing any image after Windows 8.1 upgrade

Good afternoon, sundely after I upgraded Windows to version 8.1 64x my integrated camera stopped sending image to any program that uses it, the green light goes on but there is no image. Before worked just fine.I have tried to uninstal and install again camera drivers, installed Lenovo dependency package, etc....no solution.Please help?Thanks Sergio

I resolved my issue by going to device manager selected View then View Hidden Devices.
Expand System Devices
Found two IWD BUS devices and one had the yellow triangle. I uninstalled that item and restarted my Carbon X1 and the error was gone. The original working IWD BUS remains active.

My macbook pro's screen display has suddenly gone into a strange colour setting where everything appears in a kind of infrared colour palette an I can;t seem to change it back. It's the same for all icon and websites, does anyone know how to restore?

Wow! I think I had this same issue just last night.
I was cleaning my macbook pro retina on the outside. Then I opened it up and was wiping dust off the monitor and I can't pinpoint exactly when, but the colors changed suddenly. It looked super strange, it was like green halo's and it looked worse when looking at it at an angle. Of course I took no pictures!!! I was freaking out that my 2 grand laptop was busted and I somehow removed a protective film or something.
But I digress... The image looked very green and spacey, it was almost a neat effect. After about 5 minutes it started to look a little more digital though. There were straight lines of this halo effect on the edges and top. After about 10 minutes it turned into a predominate issue with the blacks on screen. I could open a web browser and it was unnoticable on a white background. After about 15 minutes, you could only barely see the green cloud effect if you looked at the monitor from an extreme angle. After about 20 minutes, it was completely back to normal, I almost feel paranoid like I see a halo or something strange. But I believe that might be all in my head now.
So yerp, lemme know what you guys figure out.

Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped

Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. My laptop is new and has plenty of RAM and HDD. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped working and does not work when I re-load Firefox 3.6. Also IE8 now works very slowly and does not locate major websites like Microsoft without a 'can't find the website message' and having to pressing Return a second time. When I do get to the Mozilla website and click on the button to try to download Firefox 3.6.6, I get this message "Oops! Internet Explorer could not find mozilla3.snt.utwente.nl". Can you help with what has gone wrong? As it stands, I can't use Firefox at all. Note: because Firefox did not work after the upgrade, I've downloaded the IE8 version of the Adobe Flash 10.1. What I really want is to be able to use both Firefox and IE8. But is this possible if they use different versions of Adobe Flash?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== About 2-3 days ago ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; GTB6.5; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; Tablet PC 2.0; .NET4.0C)

I have been having the same problem as the original poster. After upgrading to Ffx 3.6.6, the program asks you to upgrade to Flash Player Plugin 10.1. I download and installed 10.1 only to find videos weren't loading.
In my case, the problem is the previous installation of Flash Player (9.0.47) was somehow messing things up. To fix this, because I already had Flash plugin 10.1 installed I had to uninstall 10.1 using the uninstaller from adobe and then manually remove any files related the old flash player plugin 9.0.47
Here is a run-down of my process:
0. To check if you have a previous installation of the Flash Plugin lurking around, in Firefox go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins (tab). At this point you may seen both Flash plugins.
1. Proceed to uninstall Flash Plugin 10.1. Adobe provides an uninstaller here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
( you have to make sure you have nothing running when you execute the installer).
2. On my Mac (sorry I don't know what it is in Windows) I searched the hard drive for any files/folders with "Shockwave". I found a folder called "Shockwave 10". It wasn't removed by Adobe's uninstaller. For safety I deleted it and then emptied the trash.
3. I then went to My HD -> Library -> Internet Plugins.
Remove the file and folder named "Flash player.old"
4. Restarted; ran the Adobe Flash Player 10.1 installer. Restarted again.
5. Opened up ffx and double checked the plugins list (see step 1). Version 10.1 is installed and available. Went to problem sites to test it out and Success!
Hope this helps.
