    Try uninstalling and then, reinstalling the driver. I guess this will work if hardware actually is not the problem. BTW, you are still eligible for warranty in case hardware problem is noticed.

    Can you see your webcam listed in the device manager?

    could be broken and that's why it's not in the device manager.windows doesn't think it is physically installed.

    go into the control panel > Add Hardware
    see if it will add it.

    OK, tell us do you see any exclamation yellow marks (!) in your device manager? How many and what are those?
