Hello i i couldnt find my cam on my lap top and i presssed fn and f6 and i icon came up at the bottom of an eye but it still doent come up when im on windows live can you help plaes

Please try the Fn+F6 or Fn+F8 key combinations. If you look at the Function keys in the keyboard, they will have symbols on them in Blue color, the same color as the Fn key. Find the symbol that resembles a touchpad like a mouse/box with finger , then hold down the Fn key and press that Function key, ie, F6 or F7 or F8. This will enable/disable the touchpad.

Hopeless? Doubt it.
If memory serves, there isn't data on the computer on how to activate, and use the webcam.

Camera icon is in blue on the F6 key.

Hold down on the Fn key, and at the same time tap the F6 key.
On the screen should be the option to turn the Camera on.

HI
have you tried pressing the display key at the top of the keyboard could be F46
sorry im not sure which one of the top row of keys it is

On my acer i have to press the blue FN key bottom left as well as the F6 on the top row

i do hope this will help you


many thanks

You can turn it on using the function key (fn) and the appropriate F icon. The fn icon is near left Ctrl button.

For some laptops it is Fn+F6 or Fn +F5; hold fn and press the F that has the video camera icon. I hope this helps :)

if you are trying to use a lap top to display on a Flat Screen TV, then hook the laptop to the TV with a 15 pin D cable or a HDMI cable(what ever connector you have in common), the switch the TV to PC and then look on your laptop for an ICON that shows a TV set and acomputer screen together. On mine it is hold down the function key and tap the F6 key( Fn+F6) on some computers it is the Fn+F5 key, this switches the display from the laptop out to the TV on to the Aux PC input.

try going to my computer and pressing on the usb video device icon this should open the cam and any pictures you took should be there

Please try these. After on your pwoer botton wait 2 minites and the press FN+F6.
Let me know what happening.
Thanks.

You have to hit the blue Function key (Fn - bottom left on keyboard), at the same time as you hit the F6 key. You'll see an icon come up on your display (bottom right corner) that shows a webcam. To turn it off, use the same procedure and you'll see ther same icon but with a red circle with an "x" in it. This is called "toggling" it on and off. The webcam will only work when you launch an application that uses the webcam.

To connect to a Bluetooth device that has pictures on it that you want to offload onto your PC: You'll need to turn your Bluetooth on (Fn key plus F11 - hit it once for wireless, twice to turn on Bluetooth; Toggle to turn each on and off). Click on Search for Devices and it will auto-detect the camera/phone/other device.

I cant switch web cam on , on advent laptop,
can you advise?

have you tried the Fn + F6 key combo? you can then use the cyberlink youcam software that is on the programs menu - i think you might have to register the software whne you first set it up.
