My factory webcam stopped working.  I have downloaded and installed a variety of drivers. I still get the message in the Dell webcam manager, "no supported camera  detected."  It doesn't show up in Device Manager at all. I entered BIOS to see if it was disabled. It's not there either.

I concluded the actual camera had failed and installed a new one under the monitor.  Same results.  The only part I have not replaced is the cable from the camera to the board under the keyboard.

I appreciate any thoughts.  To my knowledge I did not change any configurations when the camera ceased functioning.  Is it possible a Vista update overwrote something, or does the fact it doesn't appear in BIOS mean that the cables are faulty?

Thanks.
