[SOLVED] Dell Inspiron 5547 can't detect webcam (has intergrated webcam)

[DerpVed]

What I am facing: my laptop Dell Inspiron 5547 can't detect its webcam when I need to use it.

What I tried to do:

• Searched for solution online (no results but still trying)
• Searched for webcam driver in device manager (no results)
• Searched for available drivers online (no results)

Laptop specs:

• Model: Dell Inspiron 5547
• Processor: Intel i7-4510u @ 2.00 GHz 4 CPUs
• 8GB Ram
• AMD Radeon R7 M265

If you see the webcam in device manager I would disable it then restart the computer and then re-enable it after restarting.

I tried to look for it in Device Manager but nothing popped up.

The same thing happened to my WiFi card in my laptop where the Bluetooth chip inside the WiFi card wasn’t being detected by windows so I had to disconnect the WiFi card start up the computer without it then restart it again after I put it back in. Unfortunately with your case that might be something that’s pretty difficult to do.
