I found this guide very helpful and was able to remove an old cover with a damaged hinge attachment and replace it with a new one.
When I started the laptop back up and tested it, however, the computer couldn’t find the camera. I followed the advice for troubleshooting the camera, including ‘Scan for hardware changes,’ but it the camera still doesn’t show up in Device Manager.
I hasten to say yes, I DID plug the new camera into the connector on the computer.
Interestingly enough, when I plug the old camera into the connector, the computer finds the camera and it works just fine!
Has anyone else run into this problem? If so, is there a fix for it?
If you get a new cover, it probably will not have the camera and microphone array assembly, though it probably will have the cable for it. The camera assembly is at the top of the cover and is held on with a light adhesive. You will have to unplug it and carefully pry it up, then install it the same way in the new cover.
