    Hi!

    I just bought the HEL 80 and i'm very pleased to the moment, except that i'm not being able to use the built-in camera. I intalled the latest drivers and software for it but all i can see is green and orange lines across where the image shoud be (like if you're watching some video without the right codec...). Meanwhile i've noticed that my BIOS version is 105B.

    Any ideas on waht this could be and how to fix it?

    Thanks!

    My BIOS is 105B too, and my camera works fine under Win XP SP2. I smell a hardware defect or improper assembly (loose cables?)...
