Hi, I'm having trouble with my built in webcam on my Advent M201 Blue laptop, I can't get it turned on, I tried presing FN and F7 together but when I do a little box comes up in the corner saying 'No Function' and I can't seem to find anything about my wewbcam inmy programmes, I don't know what else to do, could someone please help me?

What's the name of the webcam on advent laptops? Mine is an Advent Modena M201 Blue.

Do you have Skype installed as this uses the cam ?
