I have a problem with smart web on LG E300

The camera might be bad. Try another one that connects to a USB port.

i think its problem with your webcam drivers. for that check in device manager for your webcam. If the drivers are ok means it has to be there is in device manager with name webcam. check that for open device manager
go to run > type "devmgmt.msc" and press ok

Try reinstalling your webcam drivers that came with it. If you do not have them, you can try to download them from the LG website or use a driver finder program.

Just press FN+F10. It'll activate the webcam.

you should be able to get it back easily. by hitting Fn+F10 you can activate the smartcam again.

try 2 uninstall and reinstall the drivers and see what happens

try consulting the mfg for updated drivers. Try removing the usb port it's using and letting it redetect the port, also see if there is special software that comes with the usb camera and reinstall that. If all fails reinstall windows.

check your device manager and see if its detected. if its a usb camera, you might as well try connecting it on a different usb port.

I bought an LGE50 (E500) notebook 4 months ago and 2 days ago I finally got around to trying out the camera (SmartCam) only to find that it didn't work. It has the original Vista OS that it came with and I've installed MS Office 2007. I tried pressing the Fn and F10 keys simultaneously and also putting it in sleep mode and logging in again but both without success. Yesterday I rang LG service and they told me to: shut down, remove battery, wait 1 minute, plug in power supply only (not battery), turn on, enter into the bios settings upon boot up, select "default" settings, continue boot up then shut down, install battery and boot up in the normal manner. Hey presto! I have SmartCam working!
