How to turn on an integrated webcam for a G56 hp laptop?

It looks like this: http://www.walmart.com/ip/HP-XG598UA-ABA/14978549?sourceid=1500000000000003142050&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=14978549

I looked up some pages on it and it said It had a webcam installed.. Recovery Manager and Devices didn’t help, On device manager it didn’t list a webcam…

Why would they have YouCam on the laptop when I bought it if It didn’t have a webcam? How do I turn it on? it’s really frustrating.

When I go to YouCam it says It finds “no source”, like it’s not turned on. Someone told me it’s just an empty space, like the camera’s not installed. Or when I try to use Skype or Video Call, only my microphone works.

It’s an HP g56 NOTEBOOK PC, PRODUCT NUMBER: xg598ua#aba AND it has an intel celeron prosesser. I tried going to the HP site and look it up myself but there’s endless listings! I get so confused when looking for it cause there’s like a bunch of long numbers and letters it looks like spam and I don’t know which one to click.

I’m having major trouble with thisss…

Answer #1

if your webcam came with a cd put it in and download the system first, if it didnt come with one you might have to buy the system seperatly, but idk after that
