    I've check the BIOS, and there's nothing can be found like you've mentioned..

    to murphybanton, thanks for the solution, but this problem have been more than a month. When I checked for the restore point at the time the webcam was still functioning, it's not there..

    BIOS: I'm not familiar with this particular laptop (sorry), but generally,to enter the BIOS setup utility, you need to press a button just after switching on the laptop (usually del or F1, but the exact key is shown on the screen for a short period of time).
    Once inside BIOS setup utility, you should look for something like 'internal peripheries' or 'internal devices', and check whether you can enable/disable the webcam, or usb ports.
    Please be careful not to change any other settings, as this might impact performance, or even make the laptop not working any more. If you changed something accidentally, there is a way to exit the BIOS setup utility without saving changes. (Key combinations are usually displayed on the screen.)

    Did you check whether it can be enabled/disabled in the BIOS?

Please do not worry so much as this just requires you to run system restore to factory setting. It was tampered with errornously.

How can i use my acer webcam 4736Z

Assuming that your PC is working but webcam is not detected. Just check in device manager whether there is any device showing yellow question mark(which could be your webcam). If it is builtin webcam, then go to Acer website, download and install the appropriate webcam driver for your PC model and OS.

Hello sir my web camara is not working the model is aspire-5332 please help me to fix it thank you,john

Reinstall the webcam driver. You can download it from here - http://www.laptop-software.com/acer-software/acer-aspire-5332-windows-vista-7-drivers/

If still the same issue exists, check "Device Manager" (to open Device Manager right click on the "My Computer" or "Computer" icon then click properties, then click the Hardware tab, then click Device Manager) the webcam should be under "Imaging Devices". If it is not listed or detected, that means there might be a problem with the driver not properly installed or there is a problem on the webcam itself.

Hope this help. Goodluck!

Cannot detect the acer orbicam built in webcam on my laptop acer aspire 5570

1. Check the device manager to see if there is a conflict.
2. Reinstall the driver
3. Special Note: Acer actually put 3 different brands of cameras in that model. So, if the laptop or manual doesn't tell you which one was installed in your particular machine, you may need to install each of the three drivers one at a time to see which one registers and gets the camera working.
4. Just in case you were interested as I would be... Acer does not consider this laptop to be Windows 7 ready.


Good luck and Merry Christmas.

Webcam not detected..

This link is to the Acer USA Driver download website.
They apparently use a couple different cams so check you hardware profile in device manager and see if it says what you have.
Go to this link and get the webcam driver and reinstall it.

Acer 5610z

i assume your laptop is Aspire 5610z.
try to check in device manager first.
is your camera is detected in device manager ? it should be under imaging device.
if it not detected, mean something wrong with your camera.
if it is detected, checked the manufacture.
if it is microsoft, it's mean wrong driver. it should be bison, suyin or logitect. in this case try to install the correct driver.
you can download the driver and application from www.acerpanam.com
