    My original Dell M6400 came without an internal camera although it is available with an internal camera for just $30.00 extra...

    How can I add a camera to this wonderful laptop?
    Anybody knows if there is a sort of a KIT that will allow the addition of an internal camera?

    THANKS

    I don't think this is a simple job. As far as I know, you would have to buy the lcd cover with the integrated camera and the bezel with the camera slot. Then you have to perform some delicate surgery, transplanting your current lcd panel to the new parts. If you want simple, you can buy the full lcd screen assembly as well, though it is pretty pricey (around $500 on eBay).

    Thank you for your kind and prompt reply.
    I though it was something simple, but it seems that is not...
    Never mind... I will continue to use my external clip-on webcam...
    Thanks!
