Please try downloading the Camera Driver from the following link. http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/SCANNER-Digital-CAMERA-WEBCAM/OTHER-SCANNERS/Acer-Aspire-5100-Webcam-Driver-50010f.shtml
The Camera Driver should be listed in the Device Manager to use the Camera
It is an acer issue. Thier webcams have lots of issues. One suggested fix is to check if there are any files in the pictures folder, if there are remove them. I know it sounds weird, but it works for some models
Sounds like a hardware issue. I would guess that there is a bad connection between the usb's and the motherboard. If you are comfortable dismanteling the laptop and re-soldering the usb's than give that a try, but I would recomend you give it to a pro.
Here is a link that explains the process.

If you have photos in My Pictures, try moving them to another folder to see if it works. It worked for me when I had the same problem. However I was that fed up with my acer laptop that I have now bought another, a Compaq, its a dream. Hope this helps.
Not the charger. It is either the battery or the charge circuit in the laptop. Most are on the mother boards but some have a changable dc to dc inverter board
I have no drivers for orbicam
