Hi,
as a starting point we need to know exactly what the device is. Please post the output of the following commands Code:

Hi,
perhaps I'm missing something but I don't see anything from lspci or lsusb that looks like a web cam. Perhaps lshw might yield more. Please run the following and post the results in [code] tags so the formatting is preserved: Code:
sudo lshw |

Bus 004 Device 006: ID 138a:0018 Validity Sensors, Inc. but that's a fingerprint scanner according to the latest usb.ids. Skype is good for finding the camera (options/video settings or some such) |
again, its a built in camera into the laptop, its not connected via usb

Hi,
please use [code] tags when posting output. Also, just because the camera is built-in and you don't see a connection to an external usb port does not mean that it is not using usb internally, as is the case with your fingerprint scanner. Evo2. |

ok, again there is nothing that looks like a webcam (at least to me). What is the model number of this laptop: a web search doesn't reveal anything for "HP pavillion", be there are a huge number of different machines described as "HP Pavilion". Evo2. |

I had a HP 6715S for many years. It was supposed to have a fingerprint reader, sdcard thingy, and webcam but none of them were on the model I got. It was bankrupt stock, and nobody had opened the package :-/. I wouldn't take the documents too seriously. A company called Truevision makes oscilloscopes and it's most unlike HP to name their stuff after another company. If a camera had worked before, it looks like it isn't responding now.
Can you see the lens of the camera? Does it operate in another OS? We think you're looking for something that isn't fitted. |

If you want. You can refer/use the info to a camera thread I am helping with for finding webcam.

ive tried using skype to detect the camera but, still no detection
