    Hi
    i got core2duo 2.0 Ghz HP pavilion dv 6548 laptop. Its working fine but got some problems on it. Its webcam sometimes create problems. Its works fine but some time when i open it using QuickPlay the light of webcam on the LCD dont turn blue and i can't see any webcam display in quickplay. But when i restart system it start working again. I checked my webcam 20 times out of which i got this problem for 2 times.
    Please let me about this as i m little concerned.
    Also i have checked that my battery time is 1 hour and so which i think is not enough. Please tell me that in this model how much battery time is available.

    Thanks

    Try going back a few pages before posting. The webcam issues have been well documented and I think you need to re-install the driver everytime you want to use it due to it being a poor driver.

    I have had this same problem with both my dv6000t and dv6500t. You just have to restart. I have not heard of any good solutions to permanently fix the problem.

    Hi
    Restart quickplay or system ? . Is this due to windows vista or quick play drivers ?
    Regards.
