    This is for a Sager/Clevo W350ST I bought from XOTICPC

    For some reason around one of the windows updates, my webcam stopped working. It said something along the lines of "this is not currently plugged in"

    So I try updating the drivers (on instruction of another post) and it stayed the same. Another user had suggested to uninstall the hardware and reinstall the driver.

    Now I don't see it at all in the hardware manager and I'm also not sure where to get the correct webcam driver. Can anyone help me?

    Thanks!

    not sure of your model but have you tried the shortcut keys Fn + F10 (this is for webcam on most clevo models).

    you can find the drivers here Sager Custom Laptops
