Camera

If your laptop camera is not turning on or displaying go ahead and try these steps.
  • Check to see if there is a privacy slider on your camera, check the top of the laptop over the camera for a privacy slider or check physically on the camara for a privacy slider.
  • On certain laptops there is a key with a camera with a line through it and that is a built-in privacy button and when it is turned on it'll glow orange, make sure that button is turned off.
