Download the nearest driver to your operating system from the url above, if you are using 64bit use vista 64bit and same as 32bit
When you first install the driver it will give you an error message, "you cannot use the current version, dont worry the setup files get extracted to a directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Labtec\WebCamWebInstall\Drivers\x64 or similar.
Open device manager by entering the properties of my computer find the webcam in the list it should have an exclamation mark on it, right click on it and update driver, locate the driver from a file directory as above, it has 2 sub directories, you driver is in WIM64 or 32 depending on what your system is, and press ok, it should find the driver and install it for you.
I hope this helps and let me know how you get on.
Labtec lcs 150 disassemble
Three screws (each speaker). One visible in the rear at the top, two more hiding in the battery compartment. Good luck. Broken wires can be re-soldered. Speakers may be replaceable (though in this disposable age your sources are drying quickly). Otherwise, off to Amazon for new speakers.
Hiw many mA does the adapter for labtec lcs150 speakers need
6V DC 200 MA; plus shell, minus center pinaka, Panasonic AC Adapter Model No. RP-65A or equiv..You want to make sure the plug at the speaker end is wired properly: + on the outer barrel and minus on the center pin (the adapter will have a little graphic for verification purposes). If so, your 500ma adapter should work fine. The voltage might be a little high but nothing the speakers cannot handle I would think.
