Windows 10: build-in camera

I have an ACER laptop, my camera was working fine, then when I was on skype one day, it showed a black screen that said camera not found.

As it said, there is no camera whatsoever, it's gone. How can anything that's build in is gone. I checked in the device manager and there is no camera. Is there something I can do or is this a lousy job through Acer?

Thank you

:)

is it possible to hand build a motherboard?

Might I suggest you simply build a computer, making notes and taking pictures step by step. Most people (probably including your teacher) have no idea even where to start building a computer. You'll do fine, and if you get stuck we're here to help ya out! *Toast :toast:
