Web Cam not seen

Drivers for Chicony web cam and for HP Webcam application were installed from your site.
Camera was operatinig for some period.
Now it is not seen in the list of hardware.
In BIOS it is activated as well.
Reinstall of drivers did no deal.
Any suggestions, please?

Sure knock yourself out. Here is the Service Manual:
Manual Link
Remove the front screen housing and the webcam will be at the top of the screen. You can try reseating the connector cable but there is about a one in a thousand chance that is the issue. See Page 76. You do not actually have to disconnect the whole screen housing from the bottom chassis.
Look at about 2:08 into this video and you will see where the webcam is at the top of the screen housing.

Just in case you wind up needing it (good chance), the webcam board plus cable is 13 bucks on eBay:

Cameras not seen anymore?

Hi everyone! I am now experiencing a weird problem. I work at a school that teaches digital video. We are running 2 labs of FCP studio2 and one lab FCE HD. Some of the cameras are not being seen anymore. One day they are, and the next they are not. We are using consumer grade panasonic 3 chip cameras as capture decks. We had 12, but now some are not seen. We have 2 models, so it can't be the model of the camera, and we have fcp 5 on one station and fcp studio 2 in the classrooms, so the version isn't an issue either. The cams work perfectly in all other aspects, except capturing. I have tried different fire wire cables to no avail. Is there anybody else experiencing this? Or are we alone? I have searched the web and here for this topic but am not finding any answers. I will try panasonic next. Thanks! -Bef

Really? Nobody has heard of this? It started right after leopard came out. We did not upgrade so we are still at 10.4.11 with QT at 7.3 and no one else has this prob? C'mon Apple techs, find my post.

Have you used the HP Support Assistant to search for any missing drivers or driver updates? If not, I would downloading it and running it to see if it can find anything. I would also recommend that you check and make sure all of your Windows Updates are installed. Try that and let me know if it helps find the missing drivers for you.

HP Touch Smart 310-1125f All-In-One - Win 7 64-bit - Web-cam not working

Just got this system and I can't figure out how to start the web-cam. I don't know if it's the hardware, software or just me being dumb. Thanks

Howdy Happy:
No you are not dumb nor is it cam or software issue. I have addressed this issue several times in the forum. Oh how I wish the HP Moderator will post resolved answer. You found the web-cam software thats a pluss. So I can skip that. Least you found it. Slide the web-cam icon up ward and in the middle of screen and tap it. This now opens web-cam software. Your camera shoud now be on look at the center top of your computer you should see the green light on. Bottom of web-cam sceen is your control for recording. Press capture to record video and press snap shot to take picture. Side bar is additional effects you can add to your picture or video tap on your choice. To replay your vedio or picture just tap on your choice. tap on the washer like icon von this is where you set web-cam timer settings and other stuff at. You should be all set now. It only can be excessed in HP Touchsmart software window.Carousel is rotated till you find web-cam icon. Version 3 software is located on bottom row icons slide bottom row until see web-cam icon. Slide Web-cam icon up and in center screen and tap it. Tap it again if you do not see capture button. All set now have fun.

Hello @drifterboy,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I have read your post on how the webcam is not working on your notebook computer, and I would be happy to be of assistance!
Since you have attempted to remove and re-install the software, I recommend returning your system back to a previous restore point when the webcam was working. This can be done by following this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8).
If the issue persists, I also suggest performing a backup and recovery of your Operating System. This can be done by following this document on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), as well as Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8). This should help return your system back to factory defaults.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

Web Cam not registering

Hi Everyone,
I've just purchased a Rocketfish Notebook Web Cam to use in ichat (and hopefully, in skype). The webcam works fine on its own, but I wasn't able to get it to work on ichat.
After reading through some of the other support pages, I purchased ecamm's ichatusbcam program (http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/). I've also verified and repaired my permissions, restarted my computer, unplugged and used a different plug for the webcam, and restarted the rocketfish driver and application as well as ichat, and i've still been unsuccessful.
The main problem is that when choosing the video source on ichat (ichat AV version 3.1.8 (v445) framework v429), i have only the option of audio or screenshot. It doesn't seem to register that there's a camera plugged in. I haven't received any error messages, and in the video part of my preferences menu, it just says that there is no camera connected to the computer (but again, i can see myself in the webcam window at the same time as i'm reading this message).
I'm running 10.4.10 and I don't have an intel based mac or a built in video.
Any suggestions are appreciated!

Hi Vinita1980,
Do you mean that you can see yourself in the iChat Preview ?
If you can then the Camera and iChatUSBCam are working.
If you mean something else can you explain it differently ?
Where in iChat are you trying to select the Camera ?
Is it in the Video Menu (to the Right of Buddies) ? Or does this read Audio ?
IS the Camera Enabled item ticked in this menu ?
Or do you mean in iChat > Preferences > Video section ?
If the "Webcam Window" is not from the iChat application then quit it as the camera can not be shared between two applications.

Jmf web cam not recognize under ubuntu 12.04

I installed the jmf2.11e under ubuntu 12.04 following all the steps of the guide jmstudio seems to work well I open a movie in rtp.
the problem and the web cam is not recognized and when I try to get to recognize capture devices

ava.lang.Error: Can not open video card 2
ava.lang.Error: Can not open video card 3

ava.lang.Error: Can not open video card 8
ava.lang.Error: Can not open video card 9
I wanted to know if it depends on the model of the web cam
or this version of linux is not supported
if that were true, there is another way to use the web cam using java and integrate it with the jmf
my application should use the webcam under linux
and transporting the contents in rtp,
All this works fine under Windows
Fortunately linux should be spotless and without bugs :)

hello, since no great guru gave me answer, (I doubt that there are still now gone are the good old days)
I solved using a library http://code.google.com/p/v4l4j/
I hope this can be of help to someone
avoid making a night to try jmf that do not work with the web cam in ubuntu 12.04

Hi, web cam stopped working after Win 8.1 update.
Your official troubleshooting didnt help
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03430151&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc...
In device manager TrueVision Hd device works properly, and windows says that drivers are up to date, and so steps in a link above are useless for me. Meanwhile Cyberlink You Cam says that my cam is not installed. What should i do? Maybe i need to revert back to win 8 (from win 8.1). How can i do tihs?
plz help

Hi FIXMYWEBCAM,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP ENVY m6 Notebook and having Webcam issues. Have you tried to uninstall the TrueVision Hd device? If you do restart the Notebook after you uninstall it. It should install the current driver for you. Have you tried to use the automated troubleshooting for Windows 8.1? Here is a document on how to restore your Windows to 8.
Hope this helps,
Thanks.

Internal microphone and web camera not being detected

I've just bought last week this toshiba Satellite L845D-SP4387RM model and my microphone was working just fine a few days ago, yesterday that I wanted to use it for skype it just stoped working, actually the computer does not detect any internal micro nor the internal web camera, I've allready tried reinstalling the Conexant Audio drivers, restoring Windows 8, reseting BIOS to default configuration, I've also tried going to control panel and check if the micro and camera are enabled but the internal ones just does not appear on the list, the only ones that appear are the corresponding to external ones. I don't believe that the problem is hardware malfunction because everything was just fine a few days ago.
Some help on how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated!

After some reading I found that the intenal camera and microphone are connected with the same cable, so I believe that if the camera is not working then the micro will not work too, I'm triying to fix this, perhaps the problem is with the camera drivers, Does anybody have any idea that will provide me with some help? thx.

My macbook's (core duo)camera not working after installing show leopard, can you advice if I need some other updates or anything to make it work?
