Try this first:
Hold Fn on your keyboard and click F6 then your web cam is on.
If still the webcam is not working try this:
Go to device manager and verify that web-cam driver is working properly by doing the following:
1. Go to start > RUN > then type in the following in the RUN...
box devmgmt.msc then press enter.
2. The device manager box will appear then look for web-cam driver ("Imaging Device")
3. If everything is working like it should, there should not be an "exclamation mark" by your web-cam driver
If there is an "exclamation mark" then load the driver cd that came with your laptop and install the necessary driver or go to your laptop manufacture's website and download the driver and reboot for good measure.

1. if the problem happened recently try to do a system restore to go back previous to when the problem started.
2. check device manager, find if there's any ? or ! yellow marks next to what looks like your camera, open the properties of the device (if it's showing) and post back with the status info, , you may need to reinstall the driver or update it. post back with our model number

I believe holding down the Fn button (on the bottom left of the keyboard) and F6 turns the webcam off and on. If it is off, it won't be seen by windows at all. Just hit Fn and F6 at the same time and you should be all set. The F6 key even has a small picture of what should be a webcam.
Good luck!

Hi,
You are sure you have a webcam, right? In the manual, it shows the webcam as optional. Is a webcam listed on the box, the white label with the serial #, that the netbook came in?
If you do have one, you have to turn it on first. The manual, pg 2-9, tells you how to turn it on. Press the Fn+F6 keys at the same time(or while holding down the Fn key, press the F6 key) to turn the webcam on and off.
Please post your feedback and Vote if the problem resolved as per your satisfaction.
