Camera isn't recognized

[milocricket]

I am running Windows 10 on a sager 9870-S laptop. The built in camera suddenly stopped being recognized by the computer. I am not sure when this happened. It also does not show up at all under device manager. I reinstalled necessary drivers to no avail. I read somewhere to access the BIOS and see what's up, but I do not know how to on this computer. I tried F2 on startup, but nothing. I'm not in a rush since I don't often use camera, but certainly would be nice.



UPDATE: I apologize for not responding, I had forgotten about this thread. The answer below is NOT the correct solution, it turns out that my computer had a button that turned the camera on and off. The button is off by default. That's all it was.

More likely it just crapped out. Try a cold restart and then just call the manufacturer
