Webcam gone blind




By KaliraK on Feb 16, 2008

" "
I just got a new (refurbished) notebook with a built in cam (Crystal eye) and it didn't work to begin with. when i would double click the Cam Icon it said "no camera found" so i looked for a soulution found one on this site and updated the drivers. so here is the new issue.

1. Camera does not show up in the device manager
2. It is working but no light is turning on and the application window where it is supposed to show a feed of the camera eye is Grey and i cannot adjust settings or resolution

- 2.. It is working but no light is turning on and the application window where it is supposed to show a feed of the camera eye is Grey and i cannot adjust settings or resolution
this means (in laymens terms) that the program will run but the camera won't ... hence the camera being blind i have reinstalled all the drivers already from the site yes ..

and now again it is saying it cannot find the camera at all ... now i have looked for the programs installed for it and there r three differnt installs for three different companies so i am going to try uninsalling them next

Clarification Request

In "2." you say it is working. what appears to be working?

What brand and model is the notebook?

It may not be installed if it does not show in the device manager.

Have you looked in the Control Panel > Add & Remove
Programs list of installed programs to see if anything pertaining
to the camera is installed.

The manufacturers web site may have updated drivers and information on your unit.
