Locate your Cam in "Device Manager" and update or roll back the driver, whichever fixes it. Try one and if it doesn't do it try the other. You may also do a "Custom" Microsoft update if you are running windows and look under additional hardware updates to see if your Cam is listed, if so select the update and install them. Should get your Cam going again.

In my Dell webcam central app Video effects, Avatar, Media show, desktop share and app's own settings have become unclickable and disabled.

Dell Inspiron 15 3567 laptop.

NO OS stated, is this WINDOWS< y/n if yes, what windows
we can not guess windows versions from 1998 to 2018
XP to W10 is 99% of the post here, why not tell this.
The PC must have its DELL drivers load and correct or things fail.

my guess is this PC is corrupted in some way.
virus?
or the app from Dell is bad/wrong or corrupted, or someone loading the wrong one or verison on your PC.
Why not just go to dell.com and get it, first and load that first.
see if the software works now?

3rd google hit, btw.

load the web cam drivers
then load the apps related to it next.
if confused why not ask on the dell forum for help and not here.

The Audio in my webcam central won't seem to work can anyone help me fix this problem when i first got my dell it seemed to work but now it doesn't and i want to record a video but the audio won't seem to...

I have a Dell 1545 with Dell web cam central & I've had this issue. The problem is that Dell web cam central installs it's own microphone settings onto your laptop called something like Dell web cam Live!. This isn't the built in microphone in my laptop & maybe not yours either. You have to change the settings for your computer system & Dell web cam central. Go to start> control panel> sound> recording .. on mine there is an option for Microphone "High Definition Audio Device" ... that is the built in mic. You want that for your default & apply it. Then open Dell web cam central & go to the "Record Video's" option. In the middle of this is an orange button with a video camera icon. Next to this on the same button is a little arrow pointing down .. click that. Under microphone .. choose Microphone "High Definition Audio Device" just like the sound option in control panel. I've done this & it's completely fixed. I can record videos with sound & use my built in mic in voice/video chat.

Unable to boot dell inspiron 1525 labtop

get a new battery and try that but check your power supply before you plug it in. Most laptops will work directly off power supply even with no battery present. If these solutions don't work for you then you need professional technicians help or a decent bin.
