Is there a new driver to fix the camera in a N50VC Asus laptop


I have an Asus N50VC laptop. I changed fro win 7 to win 10 and the built in camera turned upside down.
Asus does not provide a new driver, probably because this laptop was bought in 2009. Windows updates for windows 10 has not solved the problem. Ive gone into device manager and tried to upgrade driver nad it says I have the latest driver. The camera worked fine before the win 10 update. It still works but camera is upside down. Is there a driver somewhere that I can use to fix this problem? I would appreciate any help.Thankyou.

Hi Rob,

This issue might have occurred due to corrupted or outdated Webcam drivers.

We appreciate your efforts in trying to troubleshoot the issue. As the issue still persists, I suggest you to try the steps below and check if this helps.

Before assisting further, I would like to ask you a few questions:

• Do you get any error message/error code on launching the webcam on PC?
• Did you check if the camera drivers are listed in Device manager?

In most of the cases the device drivers will be listed under its respective category in
Device manager. All the drivers of the devices attached to or mostly will be used on the PC will be listed under
Device manager. The device will not function if the driver of the respective device is not installed on the computer.

Method 1: Check if the camera drivers are listed in
Device manager by following the steps below:

• Press Windows logo + X keys on the keyboard and select
  Device manager from the context menu.
• Expand the option where WebCam drivers may be located and check if the drivers are present.
• If present, right click on the driver and select Update this software from the context menu.
• Follow the on-screen instructions and wait for the update to complete.
• After the update is complete, close the window and check if the changes are effective.

Method 2:

I suggest you to install the latest driver in a compatibility mode and check if this works.
Compatibility mode runs the program using settings from a previous version of Windows.

Follow these steps to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

a. Download the driver from the manufacturer’s website.

b. Right-click on the driver setup file and click on ‘properties’.

c. Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 8/8.1 operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation.

d. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.
