Webcam picture is mostly blue-green and  lighter in the middle with no distinguishable shapes but goes black when I put my finger over the camera.  Tried reinstalling driver HP High Definition 1MP Webcam.  Is this a hardware issue?camera_capture.JPG

Read and tried all that (except BIOS which scares me) but no luck.  Did you see the video I attached?  I think the webcam itself is bad.  If I cover the lens with my thumb it goes black.  Unfortunately I didn't try to use it for quite some time after purchasing.  Do you really think it could be something with the BIOS?
