The only thing I can suggest is try a system restore before the problem, because this will tell if you are looking at a software issue or hardware problem. If this fails you can reverse the changes and take it back to the store for exchange or refund.

SOURCE: black screen on web

what IM are you using? It could be some settings in the IM or it could be forcing it to behave such. go to Tools->Options->Video settings. there select this webcam as your default webcam. as far as the black screen is concerned, go to settings of the webcam and check the contrast and brightness settings. adjust them both to your liking.

Once you get the camera working again by the "shuffling technique", don't connect it to the computer again. Instead, purchase an inexpensive card reader and use it to download pictures from now on. typrice_31.jpg

Most likely you have to double tap. Depending on the laptop make, sometimes double tapping isn't intergrated.
