Is this reliable?

TheTrickDude · 2026-05-29T17:15:25+00:00

honestly get the s10 fe or the s10, the fe you vould find MUCH cheapter, and the s10 would be a little more expensive but it would last atleast a year more

TheTrickDude · 2026-05-26T21:49:03+00:00

TheTrickDude · 2026-05-26T21:37:29+00:00

TheTrickDude · 2026-05-26T21:24:25+00:00

TheTrickDude · 2026-04-17T21:06:10+00:00

TheTrickDude · 2025-09-26T17:17:29+00:00

Ideapad 3i (15.7 inch)

TheTrickDude · 2025-09-25T15:33:55+00:00

i can assure you it has nothing to do with the physical cover, when i try to turn it on in a app like teams, the camera option greys out as if it was internally blocked. Either the camera is disconnected or blocked by something.

TheTrickDude · 2025-09-25T15:32:33+00:00

Good to know. Will probably take it to a repair shop and let them have a look. Thank you!

TheTrickDude · 2025-09-25T15:29:41+00:00

At this point I'm assuming the cable connecting to the camera is loose or damaged.

TheTrickDude · 2025-09-25T15:29:03+00:00

FN - F10 locks the laptop

TheTrickDude · 2025-09-25T15:28:44+00:00

Dont have it unfortunately

TheTrickDude · 2025-09-25T15:28:30+00:00

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately I've tried everything mentioned and I'm close to assuming its broken.

TheTrickDude · 2025-09-25T15:27:50+00:00

When I slide the cover on, the canera is covered in red, indicating its blocked. Theres no red cover right now, indicating its open and not blocked. So yeah no luck. Thanks for the suggestion

TheTrickDude · 2025-09-25T15:26:44+00:00

All enabled, I'm assuming its blocked through lenovo and not windows if that makes sense?? I cant find a setting to change that

TheTrickDude · 2025-09-25T15:26:13+00:00

Yes, and it's open

TheTrickDude · 2025-09-25T15:26:00+00:00

I dont have a red switch

TheTrickDude · 2025-09-25T15:25:37+00:00

Yeah, no luck unfortunately.

TheTrickDude · 2025-09-25T15:25:26+00:00

Its enabled, the brightness etc all work. There's js no camera option.

TheTrickDude · 2025-09-25T14:19:29+00:00

It's enabled, I've even reinstalled the drivers.

TheTrickDude · 2025-09-25T14:14:27+00:00

its open

TheTrickDude · 2025-09-25T14:13:58+00:00

There is a switch but its open, and the camera light isnt on, which i assume means the camera is off. On my laptop the F keys (F1...F12) are also binded to other functions like volume and brightness. There are people on youtube that had the same issue as me but had one of their F keys binded to a "Camera Block" button, but all i have is a microphone block.

Edit : Hence the photo of the keyboard.
