T450s camera issue

#1 Post by wujstefan » Mon Apr 19, 2021 2:18 am

Hello,

I've recently bought a used T450s for my wife. However, the camera is not working / not visible in the system.
Hence I have replaced the cam. No effect. Replaced the ribbon cable. No effect.

Mobo issue? oO or is there any extra "incompatibility present" from Lenovo on this system? Windows 10 on the board...

EDIT: audio registering DOES work.
Too many thinkpads not enough time!

Audio registering through the camera? Meaning - the laptop sees the USB camera as a USB audio device?

Nope!
Hardware-wise the microphone shares PCB with the camera. Same ribbon cable for both. Camera is not visible in the device manager at all - tested two cameras. Audio recording IS working, however.

turned out I was so unlucky to have a broken camera and bought a SECOND broken camera. On the third one everything works just fine. These systems are weird, really...
