    The built in webcam on my 5793 isn't showing up anywhere. I don't know when it happened but I went to use it for first time in months and it's not showing up in my computer where it used to. Also not showing up in device manager.

    I downloaded the OEM Cam drivers from Sager and I get three folders I can install from. D-max, Sertek1.3MUVC, Sertek1.3MnonUVC. Anyone know which on it is?

    The hotkey for the camera is Fn+F10. The key isn't marked.

    I had the same problem with mine, Fn + F10 fixed it :)
    As for the drivers if you can find out the model no. of your cam you could find drivers from the OEM...

    LOL after I learned Fn F10 was the camera the very next thing I did was try f12 to see what it did. Wonder why they don't have icons on those 2 keys?
