    I'm having an issue with the webcam. It was working fine for a while when I first got it and installed it, but it recently quit working. When I run the BisonCam software to install the webcam again, it doesn't detect any image capturing devices.

    I'm pretty green to laptops with this being my first, so I'm not too familiar with factory installed webcams and such. Is Bisoncam the software that contains the drivers needed for the webcam?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Nevermind. I'm a moron. There's that handy little camera button next to the power button to turn the camera on. I'm good to go.
