So, I bought a new laptop almost a year ago and the webcam has been on the fritz pretty much since then.  I just never really noticed this at first because I wasn't using it much.  However, more recently I have been trying to use it and have not been able to, or it will work for a little while and then shut off arbitrarily.  So I waited until I had ( Read more... )
