Last one month.. wn i opned youcam.. disply ths msg.. "NO WEB CAM DETECTED. TRY PLUG IN NEW WB CAM.. AND SURE TO ON YOUR INTEGRATED CAM.."" im unble to on during skype n also fb video calling.. what shold i do??

Hello @PARTHA_BISWAS ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the computer is not detecting the webcam. I will do my best to assist you, but first I require the following information:
1. The computer's model number. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website: Guide to finding your notebook product number
2. The computer's operating system. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website to determine your Windows operating system.
3. Does this occur on certain programs, or all programs?
4. Have you installed any new software or drivers on this computer, before the issue appeared?
5. Have you tried another webcam to see if one does work?
Additionally, if the issue just began occurring, I would perform a system restore. I want you to bring the computer back to the earliest restore point possible, in an attempt to dodge whatever caused the issue. Here is a document on how to perform a System Restore: System Restore

Web-cam is not detected yet installed

Hi!
I m doing a program tat can capture movie from available video capturing devices, i hav installed web-cam, but while searching for the devices available(Detecting the device) , it is not identifing the device. And still if i m giving direct the device info to the program("vfj//0")then movie is captured from web-cam.
Program is listed below which is not detecting the web-cam:
public void setMainSource(){
setProcessing(false);
VideoFormat vidformat = new VideoFormat(VideoFormat.YUV);
Vector devices = CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList(vidformat);
CaptureDeviceInfo di = null;
if (devices.size() > 0) di = (CaptureDeviceInfo) devices.elementAt(0);
else {
/* I got exception here */
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(parent,
"Your camera is not connected", "No webcam found", JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE);
return;
try {
ml = di.getLocator();
setMainCamSource(Manager.createDataSource(ml));
} catch (Exception e) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(parent,
"Exception locating media: " + e.getMessage(), "Error", JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE);
return;
Output:
Web cam not found....

My integrated web cam is not working

I Am using hp pavilion p001tx laptop. My web cam is not working
It shows a warning
No web cam detected. Try to plugging in a webcam into your computer now. If you are using an integrated camera, Make sure that it is turned on.
Help me please.
My laptop serial number is [Personal Information Removed]

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.

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.

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!

Re: Canon IXUS V installation - Camera connection not detected

I have installed this driver from the Cannon website but when I connect the camera I get a message saying " Camera connection not detected" followed by an error message saying pscN109 has stopped working.
Then a Microsoft message saying no soloution found. Can anyone help me?

Jeffrey
The reason I posted it on the Toshiba forum is that whilst I have downloaded the correct driver for Vista but there is a compatibilty issue between it and Vista. Microsoft don't want to know as the Vista was supplied with the computer so they said contact the computer manufacturer
