    Hey all,

    I bought my W5A last summer and absolutely love it. I use it every day for school and couldn't have asked for a better laptop.

    Unfortunately, it seems that my camera stopped working. I noticed a few days ago that I can't turn it on (or, rather, Lifeframe can't connect to the device). Does anyone have an idea of what might be happening? I downloaded the Lifeframe patch, but still have the same problem.

    Thanks in advance.

    i can't remember what i exactly did.

    it probably was uninstall totally everything. reboot.

    reinstall everything.

    If you uninstall the driver and reinstall, still doesn't work, just try to have a flesh installation of Windows and all the drivers, hope it can help.

    I'm with Danny... I have a feeling uninstalling the driver and reinstalling might not even work.... The camera should be recognized through windows as a usb camera without any drivers.... so a format might be needed. If and when you do that, I suggest you also get the latest lifeframe software that Asus is using... it fixes some bugs.
