Introduction
If your Dell Inspiron 910 web camera isn’t showing a clear image, or no image at all, you may have a malfunctioning camera. Before replacing your camera, inspect the lens for debris or smudges, and clean with a microfiber cloth. If the problem persists, follow these steps to replace your web camera. This guide requires a plastic opening tool, a phillips screwdriver, and flathead screwdriver to follow. Before using this guide, make sure the laptop is powered off completely to prevent any further damage and the necessary tools are accessible.
