    wrong OS running , not one clue what OS you do run but is wrong
    or failed to ask HP for driver that make USB work
    many PCs all fall with w8 installed and up[. lacking USB drivers.
    the cam uses secret internal USB-0 port
    deep inside PC, so is first to fail.
    as is the webcam driver wrong.

    folks upgrade the PC OS and fails
    or reloads the OS from scratch and then forgot to get the huge HP.com driver set for this exact PC, not told G7 is series.
    and exact OS not told.

    I will pretend you said, HP Pavilion G7-1158nr
    and w8 drivers.(max os )
    w8 has less drivers, there.
    https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/sel...

    first see if Plug and play works
    in control panel
    tell w7? to update cam and usb
    be internet connected.
    if still fail
    get the drives at HP.com
    they are there still.

    test the camera with no usb ports or cables connected, at all but a keyboard.
    cables can and do short.
    then test all usb ports using mouse
    or usb keyboard, wired, are they all dead.? still?\
    the USB ports in laptops share power
    some times 4 ports are shared.
    so if one shorts out, cables or devices
    they all go dead at once.
    the PC has 3 USB slots. + usb0 inside,
    so you only tested 2 of 3? why not all
    best test on earth is usb keyboard wired.
    all other ports not used.

    to reasons to fail
    OS upgrades done wrong
    USB devices shorted test them 1 at a time and never just 1, if its bad it makes the test useless.
    when posting on PC tell full model number
    not near useless G7 name.
    tell what OS is there now.
    tell if OS was upgraded or fresh installed .
    tell if changed from w7 to w8.
    tell how if did. if USB fails driver are bad. in most cases./

SOURCE: it will not start.

There are several things that you should check: 1. Remove the ram and start the laptop: check if you hearany beeps. If thereis no beep sound, then it either the processor or the motherboard are bad. 2. In this situation check the AC adapter. You can test theoutput voltage with a voltmeter. If you cannot do that, find a known good ACadapter and use it for testing the laptop. It is possible the laptop appears tobe dead because the AC adapter is bad (and the battery is discharged). If youknow that the AC adapter is working properly and it outputs correct voltage butthe laptop is still dead, most likely you have a power issue on the motherboard(or power board on some laptops) and it has to be replaced. 3. Remove the memory module and install it in another slot. Hope this will help you. Good Luck.

SOURCE: While charging on AC works absolutely fine. But

If thelaptop battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be worn out.Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles andwill lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% andgradually the charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all. OR Thebattery shows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the batterydrops off to zero capacity in a very short time. If the battery drops to anunacceptable charge level then the battery needs to be replaced.

My laptop HP Pavilion dv6565us, suddenly webcam stopped working, it says web cam not connected recently i down loaded yahoo messenger 10

Your downloaded file of Yahoo Messenger 10 could have a virus on it which tells the computer something in the port you are using is not connected. Try a different usb port on your computer, Or your webcam could've just died. My webcam died after 1 week of use.(Labtec webcam) I would suggest trying different ports, Un-installing and re-installing, or purchase of a new webcam

Hope this helps. Please don't forget to rate. Thanks ^^
