Camera not working in Dell Inspiron 5515

Hi,

The camera was working in my new Dell Inspiron 5515 bought in Nov 2021. However, it stopped working recently. How to make it work now? Any solution welcome, it is still under warranty.

    f the webcam is not being recognized in the Webcam central software then please follow the steps mentioned below for refreshing the drivers for webcam.

    1. Open ‘Device Manager’ by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type ‘Device Manager’, and then, in the list of results, click ‘Device Manager’.
    2. When the device manager pops up, in the list please check for ‘Imaging devices’.
    3. Under ‘Imaging devices’ check if you are finding webcam.
    4. Right click on the webcam available and click on ‘Uninstall’.
    5. Check the box which says delete the software and click ‘OK’.
    6. Restart the system and check for issue resolution.

    Also, I would suggest that you download the ‘Dell Webcam Central’ and install it.

    Please follow the steps below to run the diagnostics for the Webcam on the system.

    1.       Open the link http://dell.to/11MXNII 

    2.       Select ‘Hardware’ under ‘Choose a Diagnostic Type’.

    3.       Select ‘Camera’ under ‘Diagnostic Selector’.

    4.       Click on ‘Run Diagnostics’ button.
    5.       Let me know the results.
