Okay so I recieved the Aspire one notebook for a christmas gift not to long ago and it is an awesome little gadget. But what just happened a few moments ago is the camera decided it wasn't going to work anymore and I got a message saying. 'Camera not detected.'
Nov 30, 2009 Acer Aspire one crystal eye camera issue. The camera before it would continue with the install. Well because it is an onboard camera. Laptop Reviews. Crystal Eye Installer Unrecognized Camera. Crystal eye camera issue. Once windows restarts go to 'My Computer' and you will see 'Acer Crystal Eye Webcam'.
I tried doing restarts resets and even did a eRecovery only to be told that it was a usb device and that I need to 'plug it in'. I don't understand why it decided to randomly stop working and I'm rather annoyed by it and would like some assistance on this issue. I had to send back one notebook already because the power source was busted I really don't want to have to send this one back too. I see that this is a pretty common problem. My camera stopped working for me this morning too.
When I tried to install the drivers from erecovery, it told me to plug in the camera before it would continue with the install. Well because it is an onboard camera (im sure you know), I couldnt plug it in. I searched (like all of you) to find a fix when I found this forum. I didnt find a fix anywhere else, but luckily I have a genius for a boyfriend and this is what he had me do! These are the steps below, but they are a little paraphrased because when I realized we had fixed it, I didnt want to go back into the driver wizard. They are very user friendly (I did it!!) and therefore very thorough. Download the Acer drivers and save on your computer.
*Make sure you unzip the folder and know where that is being saved as well. Go into Device Manager and there should be an 'Unknown Device' listed under the USB Devices. The Unknown Device should be the camera.
Right click the device and 'Update Drivers' 4. The drivers Wizard should pop up and will ask you if you want to find the driver through windows. It will more than likely give you 4 choices, I selected 'Do not connect to windows update at this time' 5. Flip Q Serial Keygen Ws.
Next it will ask you if you have an installation disk and if you do to put it in the proper drive. Click Advanced and it will give you an option to select the folder to install drivers from. Click Browse and select the unzipped folder *Remember you needed to know where you saved this file 6. You will probably have to click thru your folder a few times before the 'Ok' button is available to click. (Please be patient, I made the mistake my first time trying this and ended up opening too many folders and missing the correct one. It will allow you to click 'Ok' when you are in the right spot) 7.
The wizard will do it's thing and will give you a message once it's done that reads something like 'Windows could not update the device because of software. Something or other.
It will state that if you want to use this software for the device click finished. M Color 9 6 Keygenguru. Please click Finish.I was hesitant the first time I tried and ended up going thru more work and frustration before I decided to do this step again.
Once the wizard closes, reboot your computer. Once windows restarts go to 'My Computer' and you will see 'Acer Crystal Eye Webcam', Open this icon and your camera should be back up and running. I really hope this helps you all out!
