My laptop didn't come with a built-in webcam and the motherboard doesn't support one, but that didn't stop me trying to fit it. You can buy integrated webcams complete with usb connector cables for about £8-15 on Ebay, mine cost £8 including postage. The first problem I had when it arrived was to figure out which wires corresponded with the connections on the rear of my usb port. At this point all I can advise is that you do your research on Google, USB connections are pretty generic, but the wire coding can vary between USB devices. | ||
