Camera not showing in the device manager

[Emad345]

Hi there,

I can't see a camera in camera app error code is the "NOCAMERASATTACHED" and within the device manager the camera is also not showing. I have tired installing the HP Universal Camera driver from the product driver page. 
What can I do?

1 - Look at the keyboard function keys for a camera icon such as

if you see anything like that the press it and see if the camera starts working. It could also be a physical device such as a switch or a cover that closes over the lens. I do not have your particular system so am guessing.


2 - Try a repair of windows system files. From the administrator command command prompt enter as explained below

sfc /scannow

How to use SFC or DISM to repair Windows

just do the SFC. If you see a message that corrupted files were fixed then reboot. The only time to do the DISM is if the SFC reports it found problems but cannot repair it.

The camera has a physical shutter which I have opened, What should I do now, 

I have also checked the BIOS in the advanced>build-in device menu & there is not an option for camera.
