Hi xrebxy,

Your machine uses a built-in Windows driver so it is not available for download from Sony. Assuming that you still have the original operating system installed and the WebCam is not listed under imaging Devices in Device Manager then try the following:

Open Device Manager and expand USB Controllers > uninstall all items in the tree and then shut down. For belt and braces then disconnect the power adaptor, remove the battery and then hold down the power button for 30 seconds.

Re-attach the battery and power adaptor and reboot > Windows will reinstall the USB controllers.

Hopefully the camera will then be recognised. If not there could possibly be a hardware problem
