XPS 9315 - Integrated camera not working, help appreciated.
I recently did a windows update and since ive noticed the integrated camera doesnt work, it doesnt appear as a device in the apps like teams, camera etc.
Details in device manager:
Camera Sensor OV01a (flagged)
This device is currently waiting on another device or set of devices to start. (Code 51)
If your Dell XPS 9315 integrated camera isn’t working or shows errors like Code 43 or Code 51 in Device Manager, the issue is often related to BIOS settings or driver installation order. Follow the steps below to resolve the problem before considering hardware replacement.
Check BIOS Settings:
Restart and press F2.
Go to Integrated Devices → Ensure Enable Camera is checked.
Install Drivers in This Order:
Intel Graphics or Arc Graphics Driver
Intel Integrated Sensor Solution Driver (related to Intel Visual Sensing Controller / User Presence Detection)
Each driver may take 1–2 minutes to install, and no wizard may appear—wait for confirmation.
Reboot after completing all installations.
If the issue persists, uninstall incorrect drivers (especially under Camera and System Devices in Device Manager) before reinstalling.
If the Issue Persists If none of the above steps resolve the issue, the problem may be hardware-related. In some cases, users have reported that replacing the LCD assembly (which includes the integrated camera) resolved the issue.

Presumably the ribbon cable to the motherboard (which serves the screen and web cams) was part of the replacement? Bad batch of ribbon cables perhaps with a variety of failure symptoms?
@user_345ece There should be no reason to explain a solution privately to someone on the same forum as you and over 80 other people trying to fix the problem. The point of a forum is for the answer and discussions to be public.
Es increíble que Dell haga oídos sordos. He visto por internet miles de quejas iguales. ES impresionante. Pero de solución nada. He probado todos los reinstales posibles.
Los que me indica con conflictos son: Sensor OV01a y en el Intel(R)Visual Sensing controller, pero ya los borré en administrador de dispositivos. Al reiniciar ordenador, no han vuelto a salir pero al pasar el ccleaner sigue saliendo como conflicto sin dar opción a borrar, reinstalar. En cambio, sí me indica error en el administrador de dispositivos del USBGpio.
¿Tiene algún sentido optar por el recambio del hardware (con el consecuente precio +++) viendo que el reconocimiento facial funciona pero la cámara no? Una vez agotadas ya todas las opciones con los controladores. ¿Alguien en España lo ha llevado al SAT, cuánto os ha costado €? Sin garantía.
