Webcam hi there, im currently using acer aspire 4530 but the webcam not functioning. i cant use it when online please help

Sounds like your webcam is damage or faulty and not alot you can do about it, if its under warranty i would ring up acer and they will fix it for free or if its out of warranty then you will need to go to either a computer repair shop or buy one from ebay using the acer online service manual, their cheap to replace, if you need further help please ask away. If i have helped please rate me Kronoguy

Hi. The first thing you can try is to follow this guide: GUIDE

If that doesn't work, you should try updating your BIOS. You can do that by going here (It's under Bios for MS Windows Vista)

hi thanks for using fixya!

First, try to update your windows online Secondly, try to make a full-scan of your system then you have to uninstall and install the driver for your webcam.

If you need further assistance, let me know.

There are 2 WebCam Drivers for Acer Laptop If you are using SuYin Driver try Bison and Vice Versa

• Hi has the webcam ever worked? If so what happened to stop it working? The webcam on Acer notebooks is part of their Vista software so if you uninstalled by accident you would need to reinstall the application that runs it aswell. Acer notebooks have a useful utility called Acer Erecovery Management which you can use to reinstall. Goto Start, All Programs, Acer Empowering Technology Acer Erecovery Management.

I hope this helps

Try using the Bison Driver instead of the SuYin one

Hi
Does messenger see the webcam? if it does not, try uninstalling the drivers and installing the up to date drivers.

Hi selamat_8832,

I think that the most likely problem here is the driver/software of the webcam, which is the acer crystal eye webcam. You should just uninstall the software from Add/Remove Program (Windows XP) or Programs and Features (Windows Vista).

Then afterwards, reinstall the software/drivers using the disc that came with your Acer laptop, it should contain the all the drivers for the laptop including the webcam. Just pick the correct driver to install. Now if you don't have the CD or is missing you can goto this link: http://www.acerpanam.com/flex/acer/bin/acer.html#app=2766&9e7c-selectedIndex=0&3386-selectedIndex=2&bca4-selectedIndex=1&bf37-selectedIndex=1&4f90-selectedIndex=1

When you open the page by default it should show the Drivers tab. Under the tab there are items you can choose from: Select Product Type, Select Product and Select Download. You first need to click on the "Select a Product Type" choose there Notebook. Then it will goto the next item which is "Select Product" choose there the model of your laptop which is an Aspire 4530. Then it will automatically goto the "Select Download" and it will show all the possible drivers you can download including the webcam drivers (acer crystal eye webcam) and they are labeled either for Windows XP or Windows Vista. So pick the one you need.

Hope this helps!

Peace! :)
