When I reviewed the specs on the product site, it boasts it doesn’t need drivers but it certainly seems to. It just searches and searches and never gets anywhere (so far, after a lot of minutes) So I tried “Update drivers” on the list that appeared when I right clicked the webcam in Device Manager.At that time, it had a list of 3: the top said it was “ready to use”, the next 2 were searching for drivers: the third got a check mark but the second has an X. I can’t seem to get the options that came up the first time I installed it.Tried uninstalling the new webcam (right click on it in Device Manager) and starting again.I uninstalled the built-in webcam in case it was interfering (although it isn’t working and wasn’t listed in Device Manager).It is listed in Device Manager on laptop but an online webcam test says it can’t detect the camera.

I did not remove the battery as advised since it is dead and we’ve been running on AC for months. Also tried turning off the laptop, removing AC once it turned off holding down power button for 15 seconds reinserting AC and starting again. There is no listing for “Imaging Devices” anywhere in Device Driver, even after clicking “show hidden devices”. I did determine the driver is the correct updated one. I’ve been researching this and trying several “fixes”, but still can’t get the webcam to work.
