IdeaPad integrated webcam has gone nuts.

[veramarie]

Hello.

I've been using my 11" ideapad netbook for about a year now, but today its camera decided to retire, I guess. Here's how the display looks like:

That's my window and some trees outside

I have absolutely no idea what's going on and since I know I can't play around with the green & purple image of myself for long, I need some help.

Thanks in advance.

have you tried to un-install camera driver and re-install it?

[veramarie]

I thought about doing that, but I don't have the installation package. How do I find that?

select your model and operation system from the link below, download and re-install drivers.

I uninstalled and re-installed the webcam software but... no change. I still get the green and purple view.

Could it be a hardware issue?

maybe connector or cable issue but try to reset color setting first.
