I have tried a couple of these like the Device manager ~ but I always checked the "camera" on the list and it says it is installed. I have uninstalled it and the m reinstalled it but nada it says it is there, but it is not in other places and I cannot use it. .

I have also bought a USB camera, but the computer does not see it ~ even after I go to its website and try to find a driver. Maybe they do not do that anymore if it's "plug and play."

The rest I will continue to explore and see what else works. I do live close to Seattle (in Kenmore) and near a couple Best Buys and yeah I may have to see if they can fix it, once I can afford that repair. I do have a desktop and can use it for Zoom stuff, so until then it suffices.

Again TY all so much! I was surprised to see all your posts. TY so much!
