If both connectors appear properly seated and the camera still does not work, maybe the cable is broken: If you happen to have another cable just sitting around, use that.If I had to hazard a guess I would say you are dealing with a hardware problem. Part IV: Not for me because I didn't need to go this far. If everything works put it back together but double check once or twice along the way, assuming the the connector might fall out or there might be some short that the covers are causing. Goto Computer>Properties>Device Manager>Imaging Devices. Reconnect the keyboard connector, again no need to resnap forĥ. No need to resnap the bezel in place for testing.ģ. Reconnect the three connectors for the keyboard bezel (don't worry about the front usb board for testing).Ģ. Now you can check that the cable is properly fitted into the camera board. Snap off the bezel around the monitor, be careful as the grey-plastic hinge covers are (kind-of) rivited to the black bezel, also be careful not to break the plastic or snap the bezel in half.

You may snap out the speaker that is between the keyboard and the monitor to get a better view of the cables as they enter the hinge.ġ. Now you can check that the camera cable is properly connected to the motherboard - it is the 6-wire cable wraped along with the video cable.ġ2.

I found that the connection to the Web Camera within the bezel surrounding the monitor was ajar (slighty pulled out of place). I decided this was a hardware issue, maybe one of the cables was pinched and broken. So, finally, I booted with Puppy Linux 5.1 to find that it too could not find the built-in web camera. I thought maybe it was because Facebook was installed over YouCam and HP Specifically warns about multiple apps accessing the camera. I looked all over to see if there was some kind of camera on/off switch - a nice feature if I had found it, much like the wifi on/off - but I could not find such a feature anywhere. If you are using an integrated webcam, make sure that is turned ON" Try plugin in a webcam into your computer now.
