I bought this laptop on the 13th August 2015 but I managed to fix my Samsung laptop & kept the HP in it's box unused as a spare.
I've decided to upgrade to Windows 10 before the 29th July but before I did I checked the laptop to make sure everything worked & I now find that neither the internal webcam nor the internal microphone work.
In Device Manager there isn't an entry for audio inputs and outputs nor is there an entry for Imaging devices & YouCam5 also says that there's no webcam connected.
In sound video & game controllers it shows
AMD High definition Audio Device
Cyberlink WebCam Virtual Driver
Realteck High Definition Audio
All three are shown as working properly & the drivers are shown as being the most up to date.
After trying numerous fixes I've come to the conclusion that it's a hardware fault unless anyone knows differently.
If I upgrade to Windows 10 & then send it in for repair will HP accept it for repair as I can't see it being turned round before the 29th July.
P.S. The laptop is in it's out-of-the-box factory condition with non of the software being touched & non added.
Any suggestions will be welcome, thanks for reading my post.
