    Default can webcams break? lol........

    sometimes I " think" I notice some of my webcams act weird..
    they dont pick up the lights like they used to...
    they are suddently blurrier than they used to...
    I just dont like them anymore.

    so that gets me thinking.
    can webcams break?
    like.. stuff inside them?

    im so tech-challenged..

    my webcam seems to do that all the time, then one day i did a factory reset on my laptop
    and my webcam was like crystal clear afterwards, even my chatroom noticed. O.O so strange

    anyways idk maybe just update your software or clean the lens (sorry if this seems point obvious >.<)
    if you havent dropped it or anything major
    it could just be some weird internal thing

    but for some reason I never thought it could break inside..
    I thought the $79.99 that I paid for it at the time should make it last...forever
    Im so ignorant lol

    I had one that after I dropped it on thee stone in the backyard was forever blurry, nothing fixed it. Then I had one where I guess the chord died or had a short because it would not connect. When they don't work right and all else fails that's when I give up. Although with the failed chord issue, Logitech did send me a new cam for free because it was still under warranty.

    Unless you've dropped it or damaged it somehow I doubt it's broken. It's most likely a software problem or a messed up setting. Try re-installing the software that came with it, or better yet go to the manufacture's website and see if they have updated software you can download. That usually solves most tech problems like this.

    I dropped my webcam many times and it still worked. Last month it stopped working. When I plugged it in it did nothing. So I had to buy another one.

    The microphone on my Logitech 9000 decided to crap out on me yesterday. So yeah, unfortunately they can.

    It's called...."I use the shit out of my webcam, so it dropped dead". Lol, I couldn't help it. With the hours you've been putting in girl, I wouldn't be surprised if they didnt' act crazy! lol....on a serious note, I would assume they could break. Eventually everything stops working.

    lol, shame about your cams starting to go...

    Everything tech will start to go "off" after a time. It's just general wear on the parts. Even people who treat their electronics like gold still have to replace them on occasion.

    Kinda like food. Even under the best conditions, it's gonna go bad eventually.

    Sometimes I think they don't make them to last long..that way you have to keep buying them. I've had cams that were awesome for a year, then the sound would start going and the clarity wasn't what it used to be.
