Intergrated webcam for X200 not working

[avantos]

Hi,

Has anyone ever found a solution for this? I've hunted the internet, found many mentions of exactly this issue, but never a solution. Nor any response ever from Lenovo .

I'm on a X200 with Windows 7 32-bits. Integrated Webcam is part# 42W8015.

• BIOS I/O Security: no camera listed;
• does not show up in Device Manager as an Imaging Device;
• does not show up in Fn+F6;
• Installer (7tca23ww.exe) runs, shows progress, but never gives confirmation of completion, nor errors.

Any help/advise would be highly appreciated!

now that someone mentioned it, i think mine stopped working / existing after a BIOS update....

darn it - no solution yet ?

will try installing driver 7tca23ww.exe

installation stops mid track with no error message....

Same problem here, weird. I even video chatted with someone last week! But now it's gone without a trace!

Not listed in Device Manager

But appears and is set enabled in Bios

Hi,

sorry if i'm posting a question that may have already been answer but i couldn't find anything specific to my problem.  I have having an issue with the intergrated web cam on my x200.  It was accidentially deleted from my computer and now i can't get the driver to install.  I've tried to download the driver from the Lenovo site but it doesn't seem to be working.  I don't know if i'm doing something wrong.  If someone has any idea as to how i can get it to work again please let me know.  Any help is much appreicated.

Thank you

Hi all,

Was threading around and stumbled upon this post. Sorry to hear the issues that you've faced wit hthe camera. i know how frustrating it can be especially when computer issues arises out of no where unexpectedly.

I would like to if any of you have updated the camera drivers. We have since updated the drivers to v1.32.5. May i know is that the one you have installed.

You may want to update the drivers first. Do let me know how it goes. The drivers can be found below.

Hope to hear of the update. In the mean time, i'll look into this further for you.

Regards.

Hi Nine,

Nice to hear that someone at least cares :-). Drivers are all up to date in my system but nothing changed. Webcam ist not even listed in the I/O port of the bios...

Regards and thanks

i suspect the root cuase to be in bios 3.21 (6DET71WW)

since i cannot turn on the keyboard light in BIOS anymore and

the webcam stopped working after that as well.

the webcam is nowhere to be found in the device manager in order to update or mess with drivers.

what bios is everyone else running that has this problem ?

It could be a cable problem.

any chance you can link to the service manual so i can take the lid apart and check ?
cannot really imagine so many people having a cable problem, but will volunteer to be the guinea pig - since my new one is already on the way ;-)
