    dell smartsource wont work for me for some reason and I cannot find the driver for this anywhere. Anyone got the link? I clean installed my Laptop and there is still one piece of unidentified Hardware and windows can't search for it.

    Thanks

    That might not be the webcam, but the Intel Management Component or something like that.. Look up the Hardware ID in device manager and google that.

    I think windows can automatically install a driver for your webcam, are you sure the unknown device is the webcam?

    I believe it's the free fall sensor, that's usually the one most people forget about.
    If you haven't installed it, here it is:

    I never install it as sometimes it's buggy.
