Dell Studio 1749 built-in webcam is blurry and can't seem to find a way to fix it. I have checked to see if the drivers needed updated however they were all up to date. I have also checked the settings in the Dell Webcam Central and have adjusted all the settings however still cannot seem to fix it. I have reverted to the Default Settings as well. I would greatly appreciate your help or advice! Thank you

This may be as simple as cleaning the camera lens. If it is working, there is nothing wrong with the software, it must be a hardware problem so wither the lens is dirty or may be scratched.

SOURCE: Dell inspiron 1545 laptop and the same webcam problem.

open your my computer, click on "c" the system will tell you the information is hidden, click on the link and open up the operating system and look in the drivers or there in C and se if you can find you web cam driver, when you find it you might have to force the opening of the driver to install, and once you do that plug your web cam in and see if the system see's it and installs the drivers for the cam, if you installed the driver origanally witht he web cam installed you will have to remove the web cam and unistall the driver and re install it and then plug the web cam back in, and that should help correct the problem.

SOURCE: Dell Studio 1537 (Vista) Integrated Webcam no longer working??

The issue could be due to a loose connection of the camera above the lcd panel. Try uninstalling the drivers and shutting down the computer. Once done gently press the area around the webcam. Power on th computer. See if you get any new hardware and if it installs. If no. check in device manager. If you still have a bang on the webcam uninstall all usb root hubs and restart the computer. If still no joy power off the computer. You need to hold down the Fn button (Located next to the CTRL button on the left hand corner) and then power on the system. This will take the system to the diagnostics mode. After running the tests run a custo tests on the webcam.

My dell studio is having major problems, i lost the windows on the laptop itself and reverted back to using a disc of mine. Now when i've come to restore the laptop I can not use the wifi at all or...

Hello,

Since you have reinstalled your Operating System, you will have to reinstall all the drivers for your devices and other functionality to work properly.

The best way to obtain the correct drivers for your new Operating System is to download them directly from the manufacturer's support website.

Go to the Dell Support website > Drivers & Downloads page.

Here is the direct link for your Dell Studio Laptop 1749 : Drivers & Downloads for Dell Studio Laptop 1749.

Select your Operating System and you will be able to download the correct drivers.

Hope this helps you.

How to switch on my built in dell web cam... i'm using dell studio lap top.. my OS is windows 7

Hello sir, hi, you definitely need your CD with driver which came with your Dell laptop, Use the CD to install the webcam software driver and application. If you cant find the CD, go to DELL website www.dell.com and download the driver for your webcam, and hopefully the laptop/webcam supports windows 7. If not you may need to wait for the driver.
