    While video chatting on skype recently, I noticed that the camera froze and then cut out completely. All attempts to restart the video feed were met by a message saying that there was no recognized camera found. Any program that had access to the camera reports the same- no camera found on the system.

    I've restarted and reinstalled drivers- I have no idea what to do.

    Anyone else have a similar problem?

    Thanks for any and all help!

    The wire to the camera could be loose or broken. Is your laptop still under warranty?
