Upgrading Vostro 1500 from w/o webcam to w/ webcam

Hi all!

I'm thinking of upgrading my Vostro 1500 a little bit by installing an original webcam from Dell. I found the front bezel w/ webcam hole at a good price I'd say. Now I think I need the cable and the webcam. For the webcam I'm sure, but I need to ask you: do you think it's possible I wouldn't need another cable?!

For all of you out there that own a Vostro 1500 with a webcam, would you please post the part numbers for webcam, cable and bezel? They should appear on your parts list. Thanks.

 

That would be great to know. Im interested aswell since it was not and never was an option for webcam when I ordered on here in Japan

 

Yeah, it would be greater to see someone post some P/N's.

 

Come on guys! Give some P/N so I can start looking.

 

Lao,

Go to Dell.com and build a 1500. They are still for sale in the US, you should find the part No's you want at checkout

 

There is no way I can have the part numbers unless I have an invoice.

 

When you try this out lao would you be able to take pics on a step by step of how to do it aswell as where to grab parts?

Cheers.

 

Depending on the price I get the parts, sure. I mean, if I find the parts at a decent price, I will go through. If not, there will be no upgrading.

Right now I'm stuck to a point I never dreamed I'd get stuck: getting help with the part numbers I need.

 

Good luck Ive been searching aswell. I was close to just drilling a hole in the top of the bezel, then buying a qcam pro notebook edition and mod it on in but upgrading sounds safer

 

I tried finding a part number (the usual 5-digit kind) but the best I could do is this 320-5546. You might try contacting Dell Spare Parts, they can usually give you the number, and a quote. Although the price might be cheaper if you can find it at an independant dealer of course.
