Windows 10: L2 Lifecam HD-3000 Lower half of screen flickers

HiI have recently got a Lifecam HD-3000 and it is completely unusable. In anything above 320x240 240p on video there is incessant flickering of blocks of colour, predominantly over the lower half of the screen. Anything below 320x240 and this disappears. It occurs both on 50 and 60Hz and on two separate windows devices.Any suggestions for a fix or does it sound like a hardware error?Many thanks

:)

Hi,

• When was the last time you were able to use the Camera application without encountering any problem?

- I was able to use the camera app before I installed the Lifecam HD-3000 webcam.

- It was installed on January 29, 2017.

- I can use Lifecam HD-3000 with Skype, Viber, and Messenger with no problem.

- It just doesn't work on my computer's Camera app.

• Did you make any changes to your computer's configuration prior to the issue?

- I didn't make any changes to my computer's configuration prior to this issue.

- I followed the steps you provided below and nothing changed. I still cannot use it on my Camera app.

My PC information:

- Model: Alienware Aurora R5

- Edition: Windows 10 Home

- Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz

- Installed RAM: 16.0 GB

- System Type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Similar problems here with my "LifeCam HD-3000" no longer working in W10.

I suggest that Microsoft change the marketing ...

"DeathCam HD-3000" seems more appropriate

 

microsoft lifecam hd 3000

Hi: I purchased the lifecam hd 3000 a couple of weeks ago, and connected it via an external usb hub, primarily for Zoom meetings. It worked fine for about a week, then the last few days I've experienced ongoing interference that creates lines/distortion
across the bottom half of the screen. I called Microsoft Helpdesk, but they said they can't help because I'm using Windows 7. Any suggestions as to what's wrong and/or how to fix this problem?

Thanks
