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.
Msi laptop webcam enable update#
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.
Msi laptop webcam enable drivers#
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.
