When you had it apart did you check plugs and connectors to make sure none of them have become a bit loose? Sounds like something where dust might have gotten in due to the connector being loose, and clearing the dust was a temporary solution due to that?

Awesome, I'm glad reseating the lcd cables did the job. Its crazy how the littlest things can cause such a mess sometimes. Your very welcome and when you get the chance, please rate my solution. Hope your weekend is a great one!!

Ben

there may be chances of ur internal web cm may get problem but before before that u can also try this. This may solve ur problems


go to
Start - Control Panel - Classic view - Administrative tools - Computer Management - Device Manager
and look to see if it shows up on the right, if you see "unknown devices" regarding ur webcam and it's not showing, guess what...it doesn't recogize it.
So, simply go download the driver for it (find it on google or on motherboard site), then go to device manager, and uninstall the device, or simply restart the computer, and it should auto attempt to install it. :) install the drivers properly and u will find it working.

if not solved then problem with ur camera if u want to download drivers than pls follow the foolowing steps

1. you can get your drivers .
just go to ur webcam manufacturing site, click on download section click on drivers, enter its model number and download the camera drivers .
2. If you don't know the webcam drivers cd then connect to internet, uninstall all the old webcam drivers if any. then when pop up window says that new hard driver is found then click it and it will automatically install drivers from net

3. If you want to know about your webcam drivers, then go to desktop
a. right click on my_computer,

b.then select properties, in properties tab click on the HARDWARE tab,

c.then click on the device manager tab, then select and expand the drivers like sound or video which you want to know.

d. right click on the selected sound or display drivers and select its properties.

e. select driver tab and the driver name and version will be before you

for further assistance pls call me:- Thanks & Regard

i think you should simply re-install it again. You can bypass the security but it will not end all the problems. Ford F150 Parts

Install a fresh copy of windows

Try the Check Disk Utility.To run the check disk utility you will need a repair disc ora operating system disc. Put the disc in the cd drive and boot fromit. You want to get to the Dos Command Prompt (Black screen with whiteletters) and type the following command: chkdsk /rCheck disk will run well over an hour or two and you will notice thepercentages going from high to low, this is normal. Let it run tocompletion. Then reboot machine. If check disk fails to solve your problem you might have to reinstall windows.Try doing a Repair Install that way you don't loose your data, documents,music, pictures, videos or programs.In windows xp you get to the dos command prompt by selecting R for repair whenthe options appear.In Vista and Windows 7 you want to get to the recoveryconsole and look down at the bottom of the window for the Dos Command.

So you forgot your windows 7 login password?

Don't worry. There is plenty of software for windows password reset available online. And I recommend Windows Login Recovery.

If it's this new, Dell can help you. It's under warranty and since you paid for it, you should use it.

may be your wifi cable which conncted to wifi device is loose
