Te webcam on my Lenovo 3000 N500 does not work. Te manual says it doesn't work wit Vista & i need to download te drivers, but doesn't say wat drivers i need to download.

Hello, I'm sorry but Lenovo has yet to release windows 7 drivers for your 3000 Y410 Notebook.The most current easy cam driver is for vista, you can get it here:

Drivers and software - 3000 Y410

Go to the camera section and give it a try since hardware sometimes have the same drivers for vista and 7

You need to download the software for your webcam. Go to Lenovo Support website download the Easy capture software for the webcam. That should rectify your problem .Thanks

I do. Open the Lenovo 3000 N500 Notebook PC, and un-stick it.

You need the Service Manual.
Lenovo calls it an HMM.
Hardware Maintenance Manual

Below is the Lenovo Support link for the download page, for the Lenovo 3000 N500's Hardware Maintenance Manual. The Top file listed is the one you want.

Either the site is updating right now, or Lenovo no longer offers this manual. Clicking on the file does no good.

No big deal.

Copy this link, paste it into your address bar, and press the Enter key.
It's a direct link to the HMM file.

You need to enable the webcam by pressing Fn+Esc or Fn+F10 key combination. Also see if you can find the latest version of drivers on the lenovo support website for Windows 7 or at least Windows Vista. If it still doesnt get detected at least in device manager, try flashing the system BIOS to the latest version available on lenovo support website.

try to download this:

go to the manufacturers' website, they should have the actual software necessary to download for free

Yeah this series of Lenovo's 3000 is using a webcam of another manufacturer. So Vista can't detect it because by default Vista doesn't have its driver. So I recommend you to go to Lenovo's website & then go to DRIVERS & DOWNLOAD section...and then enter your model number..

After that it will display u whole list of drivers available for this laptop.
And then you can download your webcam's driver for VISTA 32 BIT...
Install that and it will surely fix your problem.

Rate the solution if it was helpful to you...

You cannot grab the drivers from one computer and copy it to another computer, you need to know which files and also there would be some register entries.
If you have the driver disk, then you can use the same disk to install the driver onto another computer, provided they are identical.

Go to the IBM/Lenovo WEB site - support/download page and download the latest Windows Vista device drivers for your model laptop,
Use this link :-
http://www.ibm.com/products/finder/us/finders?pg=ddfinder&cm_re=other-_-suprcn-_-download

After you download the driver file, click on this file and it will unzip/expand the drivers and copies these files to the hard drive in c:drivers... take a note of the folder it has created to store the driver files and then go to this folder and run the SETUP file to install the driver.

yeah, go to  http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/product.do?subcategoryind=0&familyind=437897&brandind=10&doccategoryind=0&modelind=0&doctypeind=9&validate=true&partnumberind=0&sitestyle=lenovo&template=/productpage/landingpages/productPageLandingPage.vm&operatingsystemind=343518&machineind=438304
that is a list of the drivers available, make sure the operating system is set to windows vista and then look through the list for the web cam and general service package download

try this link for the drivers
