webcam not detected. Now FIXED

[Kastax]

i tried your solution. does anybody know how to fix this by removing the cover of the lid or something? hitting it and pressing on it is not fixing it

[Kastax]

found out how to get the lid partially off but not quite enough to get a good look at it. I think it might be a good idea to take it into someplace have them take it off so I can take a look at it myself

I had the same problem.  my mother received a new computer for christmas. I have been here trying to fix the camera problem but no matter what I do, nothing happens.  I download the plug in from the link that a worker posted and nothing again, the program can't find any camera

I was having the same issue with my brand new dv7 laptop.  The webcam was working fine for the first month and then randomly quit working.  I would try to open YouCam and it said that the webcam was not detected.  I lightly pushed on the black plastic surrounding the webcam and it connected.  It must a loose wire design flaw.  But after pushing on the area just left of the webcam a noise notified me that the webcam had been connected.  Hopefully this will help others having the same problem.  I did not go hitting on my expensive laptop and I would not advise others to do that.  I just squeezed the black area (not the lcd screen) surrounding the webcam lightly and it connected.

My friend works on computers.  He said buy a webcam, that it would cost more than it's worth to
