Laptop Webcam Driver needed for Inspiron 15R N5110
Hi,
I own an Inspiron 15R N5110 and I had to reinstall windows today. I can't find a driver for my webcam, I used the CD provided and installed all the chipset drivers needed. But when I run Skype/ooVoo/ Webcam Central it tells me to "Please install the webcam driver" when I go into device manager though it shows that the webcam is fine and also when I use Dell PC Diagnostics it briefly is able to turn on my webcam and show my picture to myself. But I cant get it to work for any longer.
Please help.

Hi ehsan_gerrard,
Welcome to the Community,
Try uninstalling and reinstalling Webcam from Device Manager.Right click on Webcam(under Imaging Device),click Uninstall,put check mark for delete driver software,click OK.
Reboot the system and install Webcam Central from this link : http://dell.to/ZYxewA
Let me know how it goes.

Mohammed khadeer,
Did you recently install/reinstall the operating system? If yes, did you install the Dell System Software(if applicable) and the chipset drivers first? If not, the rest of the drivers will fail to install. 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 and Downloads enter your service tag, then select your operating system. If your system needs webcam drivers, they'll be listed under Input.
(Windows 8)How to make the webcam work with help from this youtube. You have to open the Camera app first, and then click Settings on the charm bar to see where you can give the app permission to use the webcam.
Try reading...
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
