m3800 webcam not working

Question

Hello I am running Ubuntu 14.04 and my webcam is not recognized. It used to work fine but recently it is not working. I got my screen replaced by dell and also the motherboard and heatsinks for a different issue. Here is my lsusb output: Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:8000 Intel Corp. Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hubBus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:8008 Intel Corp.

For some reason I am not able to edit my question so here is some more info.

I ran:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`

and this is my result:

Examining /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d.
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/dkms 3.16.0-53-generic /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-53-generic
Error! The dkms.conf for this module includes a BUILD_EXCLUSIVE directive which
does not match this kernel/arch. This indicates that it should not be built.
