It has worked perfectly since I have change from Window 8 three weeks ago but recently has showed me a black screen when using Skype or cheese. I have tried to reboot Ubuntu on it. First time it did work until I installed the recommended updates. Untill third time I rebooted, it has worked but somehow it went black again after some updates. I now tried to boot Ubuntu version 12.04 instead of 12.10. It has work so far with all the updates installed I could get a picture on my webcam when using Skype. But today without any updates it crashed and now I am back with the black screen on both Skype and Cheese. One other thing is my screenlight cannot be dimmed, this is from both Ubuntu version. When I pressed the command «Fn+up or down» it doens't dim the screen but it shows the screenlight bar going up or down on the screen. So I know it is working somehow if it shows the command on the screen. Here I have tested and got some information from the system to understand better what was going on with the camera. Unfortunately I dont really understand them. Hope you can do better :) The camera has been detected by the System Testing but gives me anwers like this for the first test: *Could not load image 'camera_test_25112w.jpg'.Error interpreting JPEG image file (Improper call to JPEG library in state 200)* And the final results: camera/detect PASSED: /dev/video0: OK name : HD WebCam driver : uvcvideo version: 3.5.7 flags : 0x4000001 [ CAPTURE STREAMING ] Format: YUYV (YUV 4:2:2 (YUYV)) Resolutions: 640x480,160x120,176x144,320x240,352x288,1280x720,640x480 Format: MJPG (MJPEG) Resolutions: 640x480,160x120,176x144,320x240,352x288,1280x720,640x480 camera/still FAILED camera/display FAILED optical/detect PASSED HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GU61N optical/read_sr0 FAILED If you need I also have the lsusb: lsusb Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp.
