Z61m Integrated camera disappeared from Device Manager

Within the last two days the integrated camera just disappeared from Device Manager.
Uninstalled and reinstalled software, tried lenovousbwebcam.exe (including removing vsnp2std.exe from C:\Windows folder.)
(Kind of redundant since the hardware is simply missing...)
Updated BIOS to 2.27 in the hope that wouls fix it. - Did not work.
Surely it is possible this is a hardware failure. (I really hope not.)
Does anyone have the same issue or a possible fix for this?
Thanks for any comments.
Model: Z61M-9450-39U
OS: WinXP3SP3
RAM: 4GB

Did you press Fn + (key assigned to turn on your webcam)?
Best regards.

Z61M Integrated camera disappeared under Win7

The integrated camera on my Z61M worked great under XP and Vista. Last week I installed Windows 7, and the camera is no longer recognized. It doesn't show up at all in the Device Manager. I have looked for it under imaging devices and USB, and it simply isn't there. I have reinstalled drivers, but that doesn't seem to make any difference--presumably since Win7 isn't even "seeing" the camera as an available hardware resource.
Z61M machine type 9450-39U
Can't figure out what to do.
Help please?

Sure I solved it.
I gave up and bought an external webcam.
I'd be interested in actually fixing it though if someone has ever come up with a solution that works.

Satelltie M40X: Lan card disappears from device manager

I have a Satellite M40X with Windows XP SP2 and my Lan Card (Realtek gigabit) is no longer seen by Windows (or Linux : test done with a Ubuntu live CD).
The lan card is not seen by Toshiba HW Setup either. I has disappeared 2 days ago, was back yesterday an d is not present today...
LAN card is activated in BIOS.
Can somebody help me to solve this issue ?
The PC is 13 months old (out of Toshiba guaranty....)

Either some registry keys are damage and therefore the LAN card is not visible in device manager (very impossible) or the LAN card is damage (more possible)
I think you should try to reinstall the OS. If after the new installation the LAN card is not visible in the device manager (as unknown device or as LAN card) so its a hardware malfunction and in my opinion only a replacement or reparation will help.

Lenovo T60 Modem has disappeared from device manager and reinstallation of modem driver fails

When using Earthlink/Dial-Up, the IE7 browser froze. It had been working fine for about a month. I rebooted the server and suddenly, Earthlink/Dail-Up stopped working. In troubleshooting the issue, I found that the modem did not appear in Device manager. After researching the Lenovo website, it indicated that I should reinstall the modem driver. However, when reinstalling the modem driver, I get the error: Driver Installation Failed: Could not find the device for this driver.
I went into BIOS and hid/enabled the modem and that still did not work.
What am I missing or what should I do to resolve this issue?
Thanks!

Bump!
I have a similar situation. I am trying to install the modem and the downloaded driver setup says it cannot find the device. BIOS says "enable" (as opposed to "hide") but it is like the modem weren't there
Thanks

T410 - Gobi2000 Wireless WAN disaapeared from Device Manager???

I reinstalled Gobi2000 Driver, reinstall Access Connection (both are with latest driver)... still did not get it back to work... I have also checked in BIOS settings, all Wireless Radio is enable...
I noticed this after I did some Lenovo updates with something like Windows 7 patches...(can't remember what patches exactly...). Thing was working fine just yesterday!!!
I am running on Windows 7 Pro SP1 64bit
Do you think this is a hardware failure or software related? What should I do?
Thanks

I find when devices "disappear" from device manager (and there are no other unknown devices that exist that need proper drivers) they are disabled in the BIOS, or the hardware has failed.
I had the same thing that occured with the bluetooth.. it was always enabled in the bios, and just disappeared from the device manager, and access control menu. It had to be replaced which fixed the problem.
You could try reseating the WWAN card (with the power disconnected and battery removed).

Bluetooth driver uninstalled from device manager

This has been highly frustrating but here goes, I recently bought a small bluetooth dongle from ebay that came with no drivers as it is labeled as plug and play, when I plugged it into my laptop it found it straight away but installed it as a bluetooth radio, i was advised by a friend to uninstall the bluetooth radio driver from device manager and download bluesoleil which is what i did. now blue soleil does not recognise the device and the laptop tells me Usb Device Not Recognized, i have searched and searched for fixes but nothing has helped, could anyone advise or provide me with the correct software, this is not a branded device either so device specific software is unavailable.
Please help, p.s im using windows xp sp3.
Thanks

Just download the latest Bluetooth stack for your operating system. Extract the it and execute the exe file. Follow the instructions.
You can transfer your files easily by using the file exporer when the bluetooth software is installed again.
Just right-click on the file which should be sent and select "to Bluetooth" from the context menu ...
or
Right click on the bluetooth icon in the system tray can select Bluetooth Information Exchanger. Discover the bluetooth devices by using the Bluetooth menu and use e.g. the OPP folder to drag and drop the file to you mobile phone. You can also use ftp if you mobile phone supports it. You can transfer
serveral files at once with it.
or
just use the synchronisation software if your mobile phone offers one.

Bluetooth is missing from device manager

i have also tried to install windwos 7 bluetooth driver in compatabilty but it doesnt appear in device manager but after installing in compatability mode bluetooth appeared in PC SETTINGS-->>DEVICES.But it was grayed.
Please help me.

Amanat,
you need to post your model number which can be found on the system itself, please see following link, or post the Lenovo part number. This will enable Shiva to check that your system should have Bluetooth; not all G470s have Bluetooth.

Help I deleted my Bluetooth from device manager

Well trying to connect a controller things got messing and I tried to re-install my bluetooth by deleting it from device manager but, now downloading the drivers does nothing.
Also my computer is a lenovo y50-70

Hi,
Did you mean the Bluetooth was missing from device manager? How did you delete it?
Open the Device Manger, click View -> Show hidden devices to see if it appear.
If it's not listed, find a category named Other devices under Device Manager to see if it appear there.
If the issue still persist, Please remove the device driver from “Control Panel – Programs and Features”, reboot the computer and see if the device will appear. If it still won’t appear, please try to install the driver for the Bluetooth device again and
click Action -> Scan for hardware changes to check the result.

Microsoft Bluetooth enumerator reappears after removal from device manager

I have a device that will only run using PC software. It can be connected via USB or Bluetooth. I have a preference for BT as it reduces the amount of cables required when working away from a desk. It works with XP SP2 and runs well under Bootcamp. If I remove the Microsoft Bluetooth enumerator from the device manager and leave only the Apple BT driver all is okay I can communicate with the device. When I restart the computer in Bootcamp, Microsoft Bluetooth enumerator reappears in the device manager and I again cannot communicate with the BT device. Is there some way to remove the Microsoft Bluetooth driver permanently?

I also have this laptop model and no any issues with bluetooth (my laptop runs Windows 8.1 Professional x64). Honestly for the first time I saw that any device with proper driver installed dissapeared alltogether from device manager, having been there for a few seconds. Wireless adapter is always there and wireless networks are visible. I do not think person who laptop is installed for will use BT but I want that everything works well. She is the member of Executive Board and she uses laptop only for email communication and for myriad of reports in Excel so enabling BT on regular basis via these HP tools is something I want to avoid - simply if she needs BT probably she will ask that BT is always there.

Why is that the switches tab is missing from device management page of my Aruba Central account?

Q: Why is that the switches tab is missing from device management page of my Aruba Central account?
A: Aruba Central is a cloud-based platform that enables you to manage your Aruba Wi-Fi network.

Re: Portege R830 - fingerprint reader disappeared from device list

Hi,
Today I encountered first serious issue with my brand new R830 - after a few sleep/resumes states and movements of laptop, fingerprint device disappeared from available devices list.
Firstly, I was able to see it working properly but I couldn't start fingerprintreader software nor log in to windows but after installing drivers fromt Toshiba website it disappeared completely.
Has anyone seen anything like that?
Thank you in advance for help.
Regards,
Rob

Hi again,
A brief update - sensor appeared this afternoon but not in fully working condition - it runs and appears in device manager but after a few minuts it turns "yellow" and shows information that this device cannot start (code 10). I saw that it shares generic usb hub with ericsson modem nad usb composite device (webcam) but after I disabled them in BIOS nothing changed. Authentec fingerprint service starts and runs ok - there are also no entries in system logs ... Do you have any ideas what's wrong?
I'm using Win7 PRO EN and Microsoft Security Essentials.
Thanks in advance for help.

Z61M integrated camera not showing up

Hi,
For some reason my integrated camera seems to have completely disappeared from my computer except for the "Uninstall" option. I tried to install the software from the Lenovo website to no avail. Is there something I should try to do, or should I look into buying a separate camera?

Is this the driver you downloaded and extracted? The default extraction location is C:\DRIVERS\WIN\CAMERA Have you run the setup file from that location?

Safari and camera disappeared from my screen

Safari and camera has disappeared from my screen. It's the 2:nd time it happens. Got my iphone, brand new, last week. First time it happened, I reset everything. Now it feels like this could be a reoccurring thing, and not fun to reset every time. I've looked in folders and I've tried spotlight. Nothing.
Appreciate any help.

External Drive Disappeared from Devices

For some reason, my OneTouch drive just disappeared from the devices section of the finder window. The icon still exists on my desktop and works fine. I know it is not a problem with the drive because it shows up fine on my other Macs. I want it to show up like it used to. Please advise.

Hi Jamison777,
Try Disk Utility > Click on the icon of your HDD (left side) > Click on mount (blue botton on top menu of Disk Utility).
Rio.
