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.

    Hi guys! Please watch my video i made yesterday. I actually had the same problem with my friend's Lenovo s340 Camera when he/she asked me to fix it. I watched many videos and search over in internet but didn't solve it. 

    But this one I discovered and I made is surely 100% no click bait. Trust me. Hope it may help you all. Thanks. God bless. 😊

    Hi all,

    I´ve experienced the same problem with my S340, and resolved the issue hitting Ctrl+F8 just as RestortManager1 Said.

    Thanks a lot!

    Posting this for posterity and in the hopes it helps someone.

    I had the same problem with a Lenovo Ideapad 720. Front facing camera (ov5670) would not work and device manger gave a code 10 error (device not receiving power). Tried everything we could find, manual driver install, registry filter reset, inspected ribbon cable still nothing. Fix was to use Lenovo Vantage to update drivers. I installed all of the recommended drivers and rebooted. Camera started working after, with no errors in device manager.
