Windows 10: Camera on Dell Inspiron 14 500 is working but showing black screen

Hi, the camera on my Dell Inspiron 14 500 laptop appears to be working with power light on, and actions on screen, but no picture the screen is black. Have tried all suggestions, reset, uninstall, update driver, I have Macafee antivirus so I already turn the firewall off and it is still not working.

My laptop is practically new, almost 1 month using it.

I've tried all of the steps described in the suggestion in the locked thread here:

I've also tried to

-re-install applications

-checked for win updates and run them

-flash the camera (to add more light)

-permissions

Version 10.0.18363 Build 18363

OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Pro

seen many posts with different suggestions but nothing really helps.

Any advice?

This has been frustrating for weeks!

Thank you,

 

Windows 10 Black Screen Problem for Dell Inspiron N5110

I did a fresh install to Win10 on a new SSD. install went OK until the second update and then black screen.

Found a suggestion elsewhere to plug in an external VGA monitor and it worked fine.

Then I updated to bios version 11 from Dell's site and after the reboot the laptop screen is working.

in my case the laptop is: an Inspiron 15R (N5110, Early 2011)

BIOS update here:

I also updated the dell quickset, and the function keys are working for screen brightness and volume control.

WiFi works Audio works, that's all I've tried.
