    I have tried with no luck at all to get my webcam working (fresh install XP Pro SP3), depsite it showing up as being installed & working in device manager (mic works ok)

    As I want to sell it, as a last resort I thought I would buy a replacement from eBay for less than £5.00, but I have no idea at how to go about it.

    There is a post on here to remove the bezel, but the photos are no longer showing up and the post has been locked.

    Is it a fairy simple process?

    Any comments gratefully received.

    Here is the manual for the D150. It has pictures showing how to disassemble.

    Starting on page 80 shows how to take the screen apart to get to the camera.
    Remove the screw covers in the 4 corners, remove 4 screws, pry apart cover from case.
    I used a old credit card on the outer edge to take it apart.
    Then remove the 2 screws holding the camera, and unplug it from the connector.
    Put it back together.

    Hi Stepppy,

    Your posts have got me really interested in trying this myself. Did it work for you ?

    It should work, but if you've still got a warranty, why not send it off with Acer?

    It's over 18 months old and it only came with a 12 month warranty :(
