    It seems the webcam in my Aspire One A150 has died. Doesn't work in Windows or Linux. How difficult is it to replace the webcam unit in the aspire one, or should I just not bother, and get a small usb camera for it?

    Its over a year and I've opened it up a few times, so I doubt acer would touch it for a repair.

    Thanks,
    Marc.

    edit: also, I think I messed the speaker up (I tipped water on the netbook, but managed to dry the bits out and its worked since, with the exception of the speaker - headphones work fine though).

    Its not overly hard, I have the D250 but I think getting a notebook USB cam would be better, because its better quality and inexpensive. Logitech has some pretty cheap ones.
