    Hi there I noticed today that my webcam was not working, so I uninstalled and reinstalled the software. It was no use it still says hardware not found when I try to start it up.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    What about drivers? Uninstall then Reinstall.

    Hi Bladeiai ,
    There's a chance that you may have accidently disabled it. Try pressing the FN key and the camera key (I forgot which key that was lol). If that doesn't work, check your device manager for your webcam. You can re-enable it there. Once it's enabled, it should work. If it still doesn't work, try reloading the driver now that it is enabled.
    ​

    Hope this helps,
    Gabe
