That's your bluetooth device. It's missing its driver

I suspect your web cam is not being detected which would mean it either failed or perhaps is there a switch to turn it on/off? Or perhaps a button or Function key on your computer?

To me to be sure if it's detected or not, I need to see USBDeview text file per my earlier instructions to create and upload the file. If you need further instruction to do that let me know.
 
No I checked and there is no on/off function key on my computer.

I did run the usbdeview and it gave me a big list of what I don't even understand

Sorry. You misunderstood. Provide me a copy of the USBDeview report and I'll interpret the data for you. Run it again then

There's a line item where Description=USB Video Device and Device Type=Video. That was your cam. The last time you booted your machine and it was detected was 4/25/13. If you at the item you'll also see Connected=No. Meaning your cam is no longer detected by Windows.

The cam hardware probably failed. Only other thing I can of to try is uninstalling/reinstalling the USB Controllers. Upon reinstalling they'll check for devices again. See HERE and find the section about resintalling controllers. G'luck
 
U c I'm not dat bright in all these stuff.....so u knw kindly help at root level may be???
:D
No worry zrod :)

When you uninstall the controllers and Root Hub, Windows uninstalls the device drivers but Windows doesn't remove the original installation files for the device. (Think of it like when you uninstall an application, Windows doesn't remove the app's origianal Setup.exe installer).

After uninstalling the controllers, when you reboot your machine Windows finds the original driver install files for the Controllers and Root Hubs and reinstalls them itself (and then the controllers going trying to detect USB devices again and POSSIBLY detecting your web cam if it's still working). Though, your web cam hardware may have simply failed so cannot be re-detected

Controller uninstalls may only be tricky on desktops when depending on a USB keyboard (as one loses the USB keyboard control till USB Controllers are reinstalled - so not able to logon if prompted for user/password on reboot on desktop). But you have a laptop. So no concern about your keyboard and OK to give it a try
 
Okay sure will but by hardware failure means webcam is damaged?????and if it goes undetected I have to install a new 1???
 
hey may be u can look into another problem I have posted a thread Shortcut keys problem if u could just help me there ....plz

Yes. Hardware failure would mean the built-in cam has stopped working and you'd need to buy an external USB cam.

As to your other problem, I won't have a chance to look for a couple days. But will post back in the forum when I can
 
But idon't think I messed up with he hardware is it manufacturing fault????
No, it's nothing you did. It was the web cam that just stopped working.

I've seen alot of other people post for help here that also have web cams that stopped working :( . Unless your laptop is still under warranty, you'd need to buy an external USB web cam
