Inspiron N4010 here with the same issue. Used webcam until very recently; suddenly it's gone. Not listed under imaging devices. Have uninstalled and reinstalled the webcam central, and followed the steps advised here (as well as elsewhere) but no luck at all. Of course, the laptop is out of warranty. Any suggestions?
I am also having that issue with my webcam. Mine only happened after i upgraded to windows 10, in device manager under imaging devices, the webcam is listed but with the yellow triangle. I have tried ever thing including uninstalling and re-installing both webcam central and the webcam from device manager.
This worked for me. Thanks, DELL-Ravi CH! I just uninstalled and rebooted -- BAM, camera. W10, Dell Inspiron 5559.
Press and hold the Windows key and press 'R' key. This will open the run window -> type 'devmgmt.msc' without the parenthesis, click on 'Ok' -> this will open the Device Manager window
Under “Imaging Devices”, you will find the 'Webcam' listed.
I have also little bit like same problem. I tried several way to fix the problem.
When I open my webcam software (Arcsoft webcam companion) main window appear, also webcam light also open, but display totally black when I am clicking capture or Video record button. Pls. help

Right click and uninstall.
Restart and see if it makes any difference.
