Lenovo Ideapad S340: Integrated Camera not working after trying F8, LEnovo Vantage and Device Manager changes

Hi community. After reading some members having similar issue, I have tried some of the suggested fixes, such as activating camera through F8 (nothing happened), Checking Privacy and Permissions setting in Lenovo Vantage app (all ok), and also in Device Manager I tried Updating Drivers, Disabling/Enabling camera, Un-installing and Re-installing camera. 

I have then removed Lenovo Vantage app.

No success. I tried the camera app and Skype, and still getting just a black screen instead of the camera view.

Appreciate any help with this issue.

Did EVERY GD thing and finally - the resolution was the BIOS update. Camera is now working. Lenovo is Chinese junk.

    sanjeevgoswami THANK YOU!!!!!!!!  I have had all the same issues that you and the other posters here had with my Lenovo IdeaPad S340 camera.  I read your post and thought it made sense (especially since I have dropped my laptop a few times...just a foot or so from the ground).  So, I opened the camera app then pressed the top border of my laptop screen on either side of the camera a few times and it worked like a charm, the camera is now working.   AMAZING!!!!

    Finally, my camera is back up https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds101944-realtek-integrated-camera-driver-for-windows-10-81-64-bit-7-32-bit-64-bit-thinkpad-helix-type-20cg-20ch-x1-carbon-type-20bs-20bt

    I had tried everything, updating drivers, BIOS both Microsoft's and Lenovo's and nothing. This driver didn't work the first time I installed it, but I simply re-run it again and thank God it work the second time. Thanks for sharing!
