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.

W510 Integrated Camera Doesn't Work

I've got a W510 43192NU and upon receiving it I replaced the 32 bit OS with 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate. I had to go grab the camera driver from their website but initially everything was working ok. I was having issues with my blue USB 3.0 ports, so I tried to upgrade the firmware of the USB 3.0 controller which worked perfectly, except for the minor problem that my integrated camera no longer works.
I contacted support and they were pretty dumbfounded and the only suggestion they had for me was to do a fresh install of Windows. This was probably about 6-7 weeks ago, I hadn't had an opportunity till tonight to try their recommended solution. I decided to take a day off of work and get this camera thing straightened out, as I'm starting to need to do video conferences more frequently.
Lo and behold after doing a full reinstall of the OS, and installing the minimal drivers necesarry, I still have the same problem with the webcam. The driver looks like its installing ok, but doesn't actually run to completion and ask me to restart. My co workers that also have the exact same model don't have any issues with their machines, but they also haven't installed the updated firmware for the USB 3.0 controller.
Has anyone else had this problem and been able to find a resolution? Is anyone aware of any way to downgrade the firmware on my USB 3.0 controller so I can get my webcam back?
Thanx in advance for any help/suggestions.

I have a similar recurring problem; my camera keeps dying. Every program I run sees it fine and says it's working, but I never get anything but a blank screen. I sent the laptop (a W510 as well) in for repairs and they replaced the mobo and that fixed the problem for a while, but now it's happening again. I feel like it must be something I'm doing, but I don't know how that could be if replacing hardware would fix it temporarily.

Thinkpad T530 Integrated Camera no longer works

Hi, I bought my ThinkPad T530 laptop in August of this year and about a month ago I used the Lenovo ThinkVantage updater and it updated the driver for my web cam. Ever since then it has stopped working.
Whenever I open the web conferencing menu, it only shows options for the microphone, and nothing for the camera. I have tried hitting Fn+F6 and accessing it via other software e.g. Skype, Oovoo, Picasa. And they say that my webcam cannot be detected.
When I checked for the webcam in device manager it said it was installed and working properly, and that the driver was up to date. I went to the lenovo website and downloaded the driver for the camera from there (g1ca16ww) and tried to update the driver manually hoping that that would fix the problem. Alas, it did not. I also checked the BIOS settings to make sure that the camera was enabled. It was. So then I tried to reinstall the driver by uninstalling it, and using the driver I downloaded from the Lenovo website to reinstall. It installed properly, but now the webcam is no longer listed in the hardware manager and the dropdown for Imaging Devices, where it was located before, is no longer visible. I also rechecked the BIOS menu to make sure the camera was still listed there and it is. I do not know why it isn't working. Does anyone know how to fix it? I have also tried system restore and that didn't work either, the device still isn't listed. I don't want to have to wipe my computer. Please help.
Solved!

Hi HLemieux,
I researched your issue and this is what I found from the Lenovo Assisted Search:
"If your webcam on your laptop is not working, try these following steps:
1. Be sure your webcam driver is installed. (It can be found at http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/ot/en/DriversDownLoads/Drivers.html)
2. By checking the webcam if it is disabled by Fn+Esc.
If you see the cross line on the webcam sign press to Fn+Esc to enable the webcam.
3. If you do not see the webcam sign on the right corner of display after pressing Fn+Esc, be sure your Energy Management is installed. (It can be found at http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/ot/en/DriversDownLoads/Drivers.html)
After you download the Energy Management driver from Lenovo Website, install the software.
During energy management installation if you see the window as below “Utility” must be selected for Fn hot-key application (Utility is a software package under EM)
4. After installation of Energy Management please perform step 2 to enable Webcam if it is disabled."
Try this and let us know how it works for you.
Have a GREAT day!

Thinkpad T540 (win8) Integrated Camera no longer works

Hi guys,
I got my Thinkpad T540 several month ago and found the integrated camera did not work and I brought to a warranty center. They came up with a cause of virus instead of hardware problem, even if they stated they changed a new camera for me. After that in a couple of weeks, the camera seems to be ok, at least I used it for twice. However, recently, it stopped working again. I have no idea what's going on. It should not be a virus, as I installed anti-virus software and firewall and scanned my computer but nothing warnned.
Dose anyone have solution?

Here is what I did to fix this for my machine. I had the same symptoms.
Install most current "lenovo settings" software
After install you need to reboot your machine:
After reboot please open Lenovo settings:
Then click on Camera:
Next click on "NORMAL" *NOTE: BY DEFAULT SOMETHING SETS THE CAMERA TO PRIVATE.
Once I clicked on "NORMAL" the camera started working.
Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks

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.

Camera doesn't work in FaceTime

When Face-timing, my camera doesn't work (I have no image of myself). The box is there, but it is always black (i.e., the person I am face-timing can't see me).
The camera works fine outside of FaceTime.
I just reset the IPod touch and now the camera on the opposite side of the screen works, but not the screen side. Also, the Non Screen side camera tends to freeze.
Thoughts?
IPod Touch iOS 8.1.2
Thanks for any help.

I do not know what you mean by reset. Try the following if you have not done so already:
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My ipad front camera doesn't working,cannot take a picture this moment,how to fix this problem?

Try closing the Camera app via the taskbar and see if it works when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Camera app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most glitches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
