    Well if your webcam doesn't show up...it's probably defective? Call up Dell for warranty repair..

    ...If device management doesn't see the device than it is a hardware issue...if it shows up and driver installed and Dell Webcam Central doesn't see it then you have a software issue. Unless you want to reseat the cable yourself (not terribly difficult on new Inspirons, remove bezel, LCD and check LVDS/webcam cable), your best bet is to call up Dell.
