    Hello,

    I have recently noticed that the integrated webcam has vanished from my system. Attempting to install the Windows driver says there is no webcam, and linux' lsusb command does not show it anymore either.
    Has anyone experienced this? Could it somehow get unplugged? Or is it the sign that the laptop starts failing and I should really start looking into getting a replacement?

    ETA: I should have RTFM first. Turns out Fn-F10 is all I needed. Case closed, sorry for the noise.

    We get this a lot. :) The system doesn't pick up the camera unless it's enabled. Good find!
