jason Sims Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 System Profiler shows: HP Webcam: Product ID: 0x09b8 Vendor ID: 0x046d (Logitech Inc.) Version: 60.51 Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec Location ID: 0xfd500000 Current Available (mA): 500 Current Required (mA): Unknown (Device has not been configured) I have not been able to get it going in any app. If anyone has dealt with this cam or if anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated.

pocopico1 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Have you checked if Macam works ? http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/cameras/index.php your cam is not listed but since many logitech cams work with macam you might want to try to do the info.plist trick and add your product id ? Then of course if you know the controller type you may search in the list of the supported cams to find out if it is supported or not.

jason Sims Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 I have seen how to go about editing the info.plist in the Sonix component but it doesn't seem the same for macam.

jason Sims Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 I am running SL 10.6.3 now and have fixed USB support with A DSDT.aml file. The light beside the webcam activates and the camera dropdown for Photobooth shows "Logitech Camera", but I still only have a black display. The only thing different in system profiler is the current required (mA): which is now set at 500 since it has been recognized.

Has anyone managed to get this to work I have the same product id 0x09b8 for my webcam on HP Pavilion DV7 1020ea running snow leopard 10.6.3. Managed to get everything else running just not the webcam.

Lazar Blazer Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I am running SL 10.6.3 now and have fixed USB support with A DSDT.aml file.

The only thing different in system profiler is the current required (mA): which is now set at 500 since it has been recognized. I know this is posted quite a long time ago but try using Cam-twist for mac and add your webcam. Leave the program on and try using photo booth. This is how my webcam was recognized in photo booth. Can I have your DSDT if you use one? We have very similar laptops if not exact (mines Dv7 1211-tx with 2.66 ghz and normal DVD drive) because im having trouble with my hardware. random USB start up problems and sound not working. Hope my info helps. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/200803-hp-dv7-1020us-webcam/#findComment-1569084 Share on other sites More sharing options...
