Bad connection to webcam on Acer ZG5 Netbook…?

I have a bad connection to the integrated webcam on my Acer ZG5 Netbook.

When it first boots up the camera works fine but if I move the screen hinge the webcam is disconnected and stops working.

I assume it’s a bad connection or broken wire going through the hinge.

Has anyone had the same problem?

Has anyone stripped one of these netbooks?

Thanks, Dave.

Hi

at a guess i agree with the idea that it is the cable that is at fault.

the smaller netbooks can be very tricky to stripdown and put back together so unless you are confident take ti to a repair shop to get it done. i have done a few of them myself and they can be fiddly to put back together.
