    Hi,

    I'm a french owner of a W840DI Arima/Flextronic/OCZ.
    The laptop is out of warranty and I've broken the integrated webcam :/
    Where can I buy it ?
    What is the spare part number?
    Is there compatible products ?

    Thanks for your help

    since you say you have already opened it up, i would now; remove the cable from the harness and re plug it back in (reSEAT the cable)

    i could be just lose, remember its only a 4 pin USB cable (if im correct) so you shoulod have two pins that are GND (ground) and one pin + 5 volts (power) and one last pin +5 volts (data).

    check that all 4 pins have the voltages correct.

    also, forgive me for saying this but you use the FN key with one of the F keys, i think its F3,

    so you press FN and while holding FN press the F3 key,

    this will turn the camera on (if its off) or it will turn the camera off (if its on)

    please check your camers is not simply turned off

    good luck, and post back so we can help you further.
