There should be an icon on your desktop for the webcam, if not try checking in your device manager to see if it is enabled..go to control panel>system>hardware>device manager It should be under the imaging devices.

    OP nor hyjackers here not once told model of PC. fail hard. (all we can do is beg)
    the PC if older the web cam is and option.
    some even have fake camera there, not opted new day1 real. (2008 well, yah)
    if there , and USB ports are dead the camera will be dead as it uses a hidden USB inside.
    if all that is there.
    then the camera driver at HP.com is the only good driver if PnP fails via Microsoft.com

    there is your full answer. late
    unstated Pavilion laptop, model. zero model told and vast years made.

SOURCE: cant turn my built in webcam on??

Hi,

This is known Webcam issue in DV6000 notebooks. To resolve or narrow down the issue, we have to check few things.

First open Device Manager.

Please follow these steps to open Device Manager:

1. Right Click on 'My Computer' icon on Desktop and choose Properties.
2. The System properties Window opens.
3. Click Hardware tab and then click the Device Manager button.

Expand + Imagining Devices and check if the HP Webcam is listed under it.

If Webcam is not listed there, then you have to contact HP to get the BIOS update.

If it is listed there, right click on it and select Disable. Again right click on it and select Enable.

Now open any applications like Quickplay and check if Webcam is working or not.

Please reply me if that won't resolve the issue, I can provide more work arounds

Dear gentlemen,

Please check BIOS setup if there are choices there to enable or disable built-in webcam devices. Also you need to reinstall the device driver if necessary using the compliment CD driver or installer. Hope this gives you hint.

Best regards,
