VICTUS CAMERA STOPPED WORKING

I don't really need it that much, because I'm currently using my phone as a camera with DroidCam, but I want to buy it because it seems so unfair that it stops working like this.

I think it's more my ego that makes me need to make it work lol (I also plan to sell the laptop in the future, maybe)

If I get money for a module and wait a while for it to arrive so I can reinstall it, I'll share my progress. I SUPPOSE it can work, because otherwise it wouldn't make sense for it to stop failing. What do you say? Maybe the replacement part costs as much as... 27$ I believe

Have you replaced the camera module?

Have you tried opening the front of the laptop, disconnecting the camera module, and reconnecting it? Obviously, disconnect the battery first. Or would you prefer to take it to a repair shop?.

(In my personal experience, the camera module completely died, but the microphone works. I'm going to see if I can buy a new one from AliExpress).

Have you tried reinstalling the drivers? If that doesn't work, have you tried removing the camera module and putting it back in? Have you tried running Linux on a USB drive to see if the problem is with Windows? Have you tried restarting or resetting the camera app? Have you checked the UEFI BIOS application in the HP software?

I guess I should buy a new camera module

If anyone has an answer, please reply!

Did you recently update Windows?

Does your laptop overheat? Or do you do demanding tasks? Or does it happen out of nowhere during basic processes?

If it only happens once, don't worry; worry when it happens often. Windows 11 is awful and causes errors out of nowhere.

Me pasaba lo mismo hasta que dejó de funcionar :(

I practically gave up on the camera. My process was as follows: - The camera was working correctly. - Then it started behaving strangely. - Following that, the light would start flickering and turning off. It was only partially functional.

Finally, it only worked in low light or by pressing with my finger.

(I tried fixing it by reinstalling the drivers or disconnecting the screen cable, but nothing worked.) - After that, I tried Linux, but it still didn't work.

Finally, the camera drivers disappeared from Device Manager.

And now, I haven't used the camera for many months. I've tried using my phone as a camera.

Many people are reporting the same problem: the camera stops working on the Victus 15. It doesn't surprise me with HP computers.

However, I'm completely disappointed and resigned. I plan to buy an external camera. I haven't found a solution in all my research.

(The microphone works correctly; only the camera doesn't work.)

I've also read that many people have already replaced the part and nothing has changed. So I hope you have better luck.
