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.

    BINGO! I messed with my daughter's computer forever, until I tried pushing on the bevel just to the right of the camera. Thanks!

    I am having Lenovo S340 with the same camera. So I called a Lenovo Engineer, one breaks my screen so the other came and fixed my screen and camera too. The camera cable which is pre-built in the laptop has more than 3 Joints, so sometimes these joints tend to make cause such problems. So the engineer changed the cable which had 2 or 3 joints ( I don't remember), and the camera is working perfectly and flawlessly without any issues in one month. So I request you all to request the customer support to change the cable.

    Thanks and Regards
