Thank you so much. Two buttons help me a lot.

It does not turn on, the driver is installed, the dispenser is ok.(win7) by the way when I had cr, the camera was in “my computer”

The manager may show up the drivers but if you install Windows by yourself they are downloaded from Microsoft’s site and not the official one, even if you try to update them through the manager it’s unlikely that the native ones will be installed.

Urgent help! I have a g570. I originally had youcam installed. Everything worked fine for 2 years. Suddenly out of the blue the webcam began to show only a black image! What should I do and how can I return the color? It is not configurable in the settings of the program, I can not find an answer on the Internet.

My device says it’s working fine, but when I turn it on, it says there’s a problem with the camera (what the hell is this? Please advise how to do this)?

Can not turn on the webcam laptop B570e win7 maximum

Are you sure you have the webcam software installed? You can’t turn on a webcam without the software.

Hello! Help me please) I have a Lenovo g 560 laptop. My webcam used to work. Then my sysadmin went through the PC a few times, what he did I don’t know.There is no way to access it. I recently noticed that the camera does not work. I couldn’t find it on my PC. I reinstalled it with the disk that came with it. I ran cyberlink youcam and it said “webcam not detected, try to connect the webcam to the computer now. If you’re using the built-in camera, make sure it’s turned on”. I press the fnesc keys and the situation does not change. I’m looking in the Device Manager, there is a Lenovo easy camera, (I understand this is it?) there is a yellow exclamation mark on it, I went to the properties, and in the window of the device status wrote-“This device can not be started. (Code 10)”. Help pleaseaaaaaaaaaaa. If it is not difficult, can you write in detail what I need to do to mail meriakre2007@rambler.I really hope so!

The system does not see your webcam. The yellow exclamation point most likely indicates a missing driver. It should be on the disc, if not download it from the manufacturer’s site.You have to get rid of the yellow badge. Can spoil a webcam itself, but it is unlikely.I don’t think you see yourself on Skype either.You can also use RESET. There is a link to how to do it in the Комментарии и мнения владельцев.

They just charge you in the store. Any store can not put you a licensed operating systems (computers on sale arrive at once licensed or not. If the store offers you to install. Spit and go in another). This is a brazen deception. And the staff will brazenly try to tell you that it should be like this. Do not believe them they have from each such as you they have 10% of the cost of your PC.How to choose a laptop is described here

The wind programmed in the store, press the key combination, but the camera still does not work((( what to do?

The camera initially worked, took photos, then switched to video mode, and back to photos can not go. Request to turn on the camera. What to do?

If it’s just not on. Press EscFn if the brightness is wrong or too cloudy, go to Skype and press Tools-Settings-Video Settings-Default Webcam Settings and that’s it)

What to do if the installation disk is missing or lost? This is where many users start to panic and get frustrated. And everything is simple enough, if you have access to the Internet. All necessary programs can be found on the web. And with the right request they can be downloaded absolutely free.

How to enable the camera on your Lenovo laptop with the downloaded program? Here is what you should do:

Video tutorial on how to turn on and check the web camera on your Lenovo laptop

What to do if the camera does not work

If the camera does not turn on after clicking the above combinations, you need to find out:

• Whether the system detects the installed video camera;
• Are the latest drivers installed or do they need to be updated;
• Whether or not the webcam is supported by the current OS settings.

You can find the answers to these questions in “Device Manager”.

• Look for the “Image Processing Devices” item. Expand it with the triangle at the beginning of the line. If the list under this menu is empty, it means that your camera is not detected by the system. Check the options for exclamation marks against a yellow background. They mean that there is no suitable driver for some of the devices.
• Go to “Find and install driver” menu. If there is a line with a character set (letters, numbers, words, etc.Д.). Then all the drivers are installed, and the webcam is working properly. If there is a white circle at the beginning of the line. The camera is off. Then right-click on the line and select “Include”.
