My Inspiron 15R (touchscreen model)'s integrated webcam stopped working a couple of months ago. If I press the bevel sides of the display mounting I can get some softwares to make it work again, like MS Team. A lsusb CLI command show it is detected (Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0c45:64ad Microdia) by the OS (Ubuntu 20.04) and I have tried several new and old Ubuntu versions to try to determined if it is a driver issue - it seems not to be such. I wonder if there is a cable to be reseated that might get it working regularly again. Please, does anybody here have any idea about how to fix it? Thanks and best regards, Fábio
