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.

    I finally solved the issue by uninstalling the manufacturer driver and allowing windows to install a windows driver.

    When uninstalling, just check delete the driver and scan for hardware changes to allow windows to install the camera.

    Then, you can enable or disable the camera using F8.

    Hi. I also received such a problem with my new Ideapad S340. I was just like Installing and reinstalling drivers. Sometimes the camera works sometimes it doesn't. So I checked my Notebook to a Lenovo Engineer. He opened the area near that camera and he tight a loose wire and my camera start working. So don't forget to show your notebook to a Engineer

    I got this problem again. The Lenovo guy changed the Camera wire connecting to the motherboard and I did some changes in the driver. Just make the driver change into a Normal USB Port. My camera still works fine...

    Thanks and I am not a Lenovo Guy (or Microsoft)
