I'm having a similar problem except my screen always shows only black. If you can get your image to appear sometimes it sounds like you may have a short in the hardware connecting your camera. I think you should contact ACER support and let them know you have a suspected hardware problem. I've tried uninstalled (right click my computer --> properites--> device manger-->imaging devices --> right click on webcam and select uninstall. The camera will re-install automatically when you reboot or have device manager scan for new hardware. You can also go to the acer website downloads section and make sure you have the latest webcam driver.

This may be either a driver problem or a hardware failure. Try going here and re-installing the driver and software.

When you click on the link, click on "notebook" > "Aspire" > 4530 > click on the application tab and the first two downloads are camera driver-software....download and install.

Crystal Eye eb Cam not functioning

If the blue light does not come on by the camera, then just the program is running and not the camera, it takes one program and one driver to run the Crystal Eye.

Here is the link to both files, make sure you have them both installed. Click on the link > click on Notebooks > click on Aspire > click on 5610 > download noth camera downloads > one is a driver, the other is the software.

Acer aspire 4530 - crystal eye problem

  • Hi has the webcam ever worked? If so what happened to stop it working? The webcam on Acer notebooks is part of their Vista software so if you uninstalled by accident you would need to reinstall the application that runs it aswell. Acer notebooks have a useful utility called Acer Erecovery Management which you can use to reinstall. Goto Start, All Programs, Acer Empowering Technology Acer Erecovery Management.
I hope this helps

If it isnt listed under hardware then something may have happened to cause the computer to delete the file "virus protection or firewall" and it may be that your computer just isnt reconizing the software anymore. if you have an installation disk try to use it and reinstall the stuff and go from there.
