Hi,

I faced a similar issue with my laptop camera. Here’s what helped me:

1. Check Privacy Settings: Go to Settings > Privacy > Camera and make sure camera access is enabled for apps.
2. Device Manager: Open Device Manager, look for imaging devices, and see if the camera is listed. If it’s not, try scanning for hardware changes.
3. BIOS Settings: Sometimes, the camera can be disabled in BIOS. Restart your laptop and enter BIOS (usually by pressing F2 or Delete during startup) to check the camera settings.
4. Update Drivers: Even though you've reinstalled, try downloading the latest camera drivers directly from Dell’s website.

If none of these work, it might be a hardware issue. Contacting Dell support would be the next best step. Hope this helps!

If these steps don’t help, consider contacting Dell support for further assistance.
