Lenovo Y700-15ISK built in camera problem


Hello, I am new to linux and it is great so far. But I am having one problem, with my built in camera. The laptop that I am using is Lenovo Y700-15ISK, and operating system POP!_OS 18.04 LTS. The OS does not recognize my camera, so when I run apps like cheese and guvcview, I get message "no device found". To solve this problem, I have tried following:

installed following packages:
Code:
sudo apt-get install libsbigudrv2 libsbigudrv0
run these commands:
Code:
sudo modprobe -r uvcvideo && sudo modprobe uvcvideo
I was missing my /dev/video* folder so I made one with following commands:
Code:
sudo mknod /dev/video0 c 81 0
sudo chown root:video /dev/video0
sudo chmod 660 /dev/video0
Found on internet that installing cheese or guvcview and then restarting laptop solved problem for some people.
When I go to bios, I don't have I/O port access (saw on internet that you need to enable intergrated camera) so do not know how to do that.

Running hwinfo --usb gives me:

popOS,

Welcome to LQ forums.

Unfortunately there appears to be no support for the Y700’s webcam in Linux.

An alternative way would be to buy a cheap used USB webcam which is listed as working in Linux:

http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/

The Logitech C270 HD webcam is one example.

Another, which is probably cheaper, is the Logitech Quickcam E 3500. I used one of these years ago and it worked fine with Ubuntu and Linux Mint.
