I have lenovo 3000 N100 0768HBQ laptop, recently i installed windows Xp but my webcam is not detected, i downloaded liteon and chicony camera driver but problem is still there..in system tray i click on its icon and enable camera option but it does not detect integrated camera...also fingerprint driver not working... plz help me....Thanking in anticipation...

Camera is not detected, there are several possibilities:

The first possibility
There was an error installing the driver. AOD150, manufactured by three types of cameras, chicony, liteon, suyin. Example: I installed the camera driver, suyin to AOD150. At the time of installation, a message appears, hardware not found / not detected / not recognize. This means, suyin not the right driver.

Solution
1. Open link driver AOD150
2. Operating System = Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition x32
3. Download software = Hardware Vendor Detection Utility
4. Double-click = HWVendorDetection.exe. We will find the right camera hardware.
5. Download and install the Liteon driver





The second possibility
If the hardware vendor detection utility, does not detect camera

Solution 1 (assuming, normal hardware)
1. Possible corrupt operating system.
2. Reinstall the operating system, by doing format drive C.
3. Move all data from drive C to D/E/F.
4. Download drivers AOD150, and other applications, save it on drive D/E/F
5. Insert the Windows CD bootable. Perform boot from CD.
6. Press enter - F8 - New Installation - format the C drive, etc.
7. After the OS install is complete, install all drivers (chipset, LAN, VGA, sound, camera, etc)

Solution 2 (assuming, damage hardware)
Contact Acer Support

I hope this information useful, thank you.

Hi smartmint909,

i see that you tried the chicony camera driver and it did not work, have you tried downloading the Bison Driver for your camera to see if it will work?

also you mentioned that the Fignerprint reader does not work as well, and you also mentioned that you installed XP on the machine. If i may ask what windows do you have originally on your machine before installing XP because on a Lenovo machine it is big NO to install a different version of Windows from what it Originally had for the reason that some device may not be detect even if you are in stalling the correct drivers.

The Lenovo Windows is an OEM Version and does not have the same files like the Microsoft windows some of the OEM files are altered for lenovo purposes only and if you will install a retail version of windows then you may need to update your system BIOS to be able to make some of the system device s work as normal.

try reinstalling the system back to the original windows that it had before, you will again be able to use the Fingerprint reader and the camera using the same driver you had before.

i hope this clears things out.

Have a nice day,

how to download webcam driver for lenovo 3000 n100 for win 7

Hello,
To give you quality results, I need a direct access to your PC.
For that purpose, please install TeamViewer:

Later, you communicate me the information described below:



At your service Sir

Install the driver for windows Vista first,

1) Bring up the device manager. You do that by clicking on Start button and then type 'Device Manager' in the search box. Select the "Device Manager" in the list.
2) In the list of devices, you will see "Chicony USB 2.0 Camera" with yellow bang on it. You will see either code 19 or code 1 as error codes.
3) Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall". 
4) In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
5) Then in the Action menu of Device manager, select Scan for Hardware changes option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled

Same goes for LiteOn Camera Driver.

Everything will be fine after that.

fistly you check ur bios setting & registry setting.

is that possible cam is disable by bios or registry, so kindly check it & reinstall ur cam driver.

try restoring to an earlier time when it did if this works its probably viral or software corrupted
