Cant turn my built in webcam on??

Hi,

This is known Webcam issue in DV6000 notebooks. To resolve or narrow down the issue, we have to check few things.

First open Device Manager.

Please follow these steps to open Device Manager:

1. Right Click on 'My Computer' icon on Desktop and choose Properties.
2. The System properties Window opens.
3. Click Hardware tab and then click the Device Manager button.

Expand + Imagining Devices and check if the HP Webcam is listed under it.

If Webcam is not listed there, then you have to contact HP to get the BIOS update.

If it is listed there, right click on it and select Disable. Again right click on it and select Enable.

Now open any applications like Quickplay and check if Webcam is working or not.

Please reply me if that won't resolve the issue, I can provide more work arounds

There are so many different Pavilion laptop models now it's crazy. In fact, there are over 1000 different HP Pavilion models alone! Every single one of them requires a different web cam driver update that is designed to run for that system (to KEEP it working).

On top of that, there are multiple operating systems and even different types of web cams which all require their own specific set of install instructions for updating the web cam drivers so that you don't have to worry about continually repairing the camera.

As time goes on HP gets better and better at fixing and preventing these web camera errors but that's all dependent on you following the most updated drivers first.

I've found that some of the fixes for the HP Pavilion laptop web cam work and some do not. If you aren't able to find a solution for your Pavilion model here at FixYa, write down the correct information for your HP Pavillion laptop computer and follow the steps HP provides for updating the built-in webcam drivers
