SL400 WebCam Problem

[vishal_unsw]

I have purchased SL400 recently.

That is delivered on 9th of June 2009.

I switched on the laptop & check the webcam quality.

Webcam quality is very poor & unacceptable.

I given call to Lenovo Support.

Support guy is asking me to agree on 130$ payment if no fault found.

I think this is ridiculous. I'm still in 1 year warranty.

Buy a new webcam costs(40$) less then 130$ & it gurrenties the better result.

This is ridiculous policy from Lenovo.

Did you peel the plastic film from the webcam? it looks terrible until you take it off.

Thnaks for replying.

Yeh I already have done that.

Still result of webcam is not satisfactory.

I'm comparing it with HP Pavilion series. This HP DV6500 I bought 1 year ago.

Surprisingly it gives better result than this SL400 thinkpad.

I would not recommend buying integrated webcam with thinkpad.

Lenovo charged me 40$ for integrated webcam. I would recommend buying brand new external logitech webcam.

Logitech gives far more better result then this integrated one as well & it costs around 40$ as well.

Thumb down for Lenovo webcam.
