Webcam shows black image.

[Valinor]

Hi my laptop is HP 6107 TX and i have an integrated webcam, which worked the first few days after I bought it, but after that the webcam screen just shows plain black. But the strange thing is if I bring a luminous object, like a phone screen near it it shows a green image of the phone on the screen 😕 Pls help ASAP.

Btw the webcam gives a white light indicating its on.

Hey

So I had the exact same problem with my computer and what you need to do is when you turn on youcam then go to enhance the current video image and go to advanced and then check mark auto next to exposure and sure enough the camera goes back to normal! Hope it works for you too!

True u have to go to advanced settings but immediately at the bottom select default settings.That will bring your pc back to original webcam settings
