    It's really sad that I just noticed this >.>
    After the tech replaced my motherboard, I can't get the webcam to work. It's just not detected, the indicator doesn't light up at all either. Is there a driver I'm missing or is it not connected?

    thanks

    The tech probably didn't seat the cam connector correctly when putting the screen back on.

    Yeah, call dell.
    If it just stopped working after the motherboard replacement, that means the dell tech didn't do that job correctly.

    Sounds like the tech didnt reconnect the cable going from the webcame to the motherboard. Call dell back up and have them send the tech back again.
