Last known Good Configuration will do nothing now that the HDD has been formatted, also be aware though that it may have resolved the issue but then again it may not have. This has really been aggravating me as I've spent the good part of the last few days troubleshooting this.Įdited by shadys321, 08 December 2012 - 11:56 AM. I greatly appreciate your input, any further suggestions and/or advice is appreciated. I also flashed the Webcam firmware update as per the instructions given by MSI on that page (using bootable USB stick). I will try resetting the BIOS defaults again, as I even went as far as reflashing the BIOS itself, still to no avail.ģ. I tried a System Restore, and then Reformatted my entire computer, just tried 'Last Known Good Configuration' and it made no difference.Ģ. It is the root of my problem.Īs per your suggestions, they are greatly appreciated.ġ. I have attached a link to this specific 'update' that caused this issue, if this is against any rules I greatly apologize. I am 100% certain the device listed as 'USB Camera' is my integrated camera that use to read '2.0 something'. And yes, the current driver of that 'USB Webcam' is the default one MSI tells me to use, that comes from Windows Update. Ever since, the webcam no longer works (always claims the webcam is in use by something, which it is not) and it no longer shows correctly, as you said, in my Device Manager. The program opened and 'wrote' something, instead of installing updated driver components or the such, as most if not all driver updates are suppose to do. Specifically, a file by the name of ' asus_1490654743eeed.zip' ( 3,448 KB) was recommended to use to update my Webcam, and like an idiot, I tried using it. It started showing as it currently is after trying using a program called 'Device Doctor' to try to get the most up-to-date drivers available for anything needed. No this has not always been the case, it previously shown as 'USB 2.0 Webcam' or something along those lines, and NOT what it is showing now. Please, any input, advice, ect would be appreciated.Įdited by shadys321, 06 December 2012 - 06:32 PM. I have been trying for days like a mad man to try and fix this. The little orange light that usually comes on hasnt been on since either. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Could it of even changed the hardware ID for it completely? Is that even possible?Īll applications (Skype, Man圜am, Yahoo Messenger, ect ect) report the cam cannot be accessed. I have even just reformatted my computer, and the cam still does not work. I believe whatever caused this in the first place, could of possibly 'rewrote' something entirely because the 'udate' program that originally opened had just one big button 'WRITE' in green letters. I have also tried looking up drivers online using the Hardware ID's of the device, but nothing installed so far has fixed my issue. I have uninstalled/reinstalled (via device manager/windows update) many times. I have tried going to MSI's webpage and downloading the driver from there, but they claim 'it uses a generic driver bundled in the windows software'. When I turn it on, the device reads 'USB camera' and before I could of swore it said USB 2.0 Camera. I know what caused it, (I was using one of those free-driver-update sites like an idiot, and 'flashed and/or installed' some sort of update for my 'USB Video Cam' and ever since, the webcam no longer works. Hi, I have a MSI 1651 GX620 laptop that the build-in webcam recently stopped working as of last night.
