Skype is working fine with the WebCam is there a program that I can use to turn on the WebCam locally so I can see

myself on my local screen.

WebcamViewer

this software can check webcam if it is installed properly and without installation,very helpfull.

if mic module not working then this is definitly wire problem 

if mic module working fine then its defintly sofware problem,driver,usb conflicts,operating system bug or very rarely webcam is dead!

@presh007 Great find! That fixed my problem without having to contact support. 

Thank YOU!

I'm having the same problem. But I have a dv7. How do you open the plastic beveled cover?

I just used my thumbnail to seperate it, right at the top by the webcam. I have a dv7-6c95dx. Once it separates a little, just pull it apart gently. I used a small flathead screwdriver to push the connector completely into place. Then just squeeze the bezel back together and it should snap closed.

I hope this helps you.

@ dloucks  you could try using something like a thick guitar pick. 

Take a look at this video using that method

Hope this helps!

 Edit: This video just so happens to be on a dv7 too!
