Dell Inspiron N5010 Webcam
Hey guys,
I just formatted my PC and installed all the drivers I had on my retail CD. When I try to open my Webcam Central it says that no camera is plugged in. My webcam is build in a most laptops, and I cant find the driver anywhere, not even on the dell website. Anyone had the same problem?
Thanks

yanu312,
Did you recently install/reinstall the operating system? If yes, did you install the drivers in the correct order? How to Download and Install Drivers in the Correct Order
Windows 7/8 is supposed to provide the webcam drivers for most Dell computers. If you system needs webcam drivers, go to Drivers & Downloads enter your service tag, then select your operating system. If your system needs webcam drivers, they'll be listed under Input.

Troubleshooting the Dell Webcam and Dell Webcam Central Software
You can try this file, also known as Dell Webcam Central.
Create a new unrestricted user account and try the webcam. Did the webcam work?
If yes, log out and log back in to your account and try the webcam. Did the webcam work?
If no, then the webcam became detached from the motherboard, usually near the webcam
If your computer is under warranty, contact Dell Tech Support
