[Reinis Zumbergs <999875@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It took me lot's of hours over many weekends to finally upgrade BIOS.
Dell is really trying to make it hard for us. None of the procedures in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DellBIOS worked.

My BIOS' version A14. But unfortunately it has not solved my problem.
The video feed is still black the same way.

My main installatiion is now 13.10 and I have alos tested 14.04 dailies.
Same issue.

Title:
  My camera stopped showing video feed since about two weeks ago

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  1) Kubuntu 12.04 amd64
  2) v4l-utils:  Installed: 0.8.6-1ubuntu1
  3) It was working fine all the time on 11.10 and Precise Beta. And I believe it was still working after final release, but I'm not 100% sure.
  4) The returned video is just black and a bit of faint colored circle in the middle

  It's built in webcam of Dell Latitude E5520
  In lsusb, I think, it shows as "Bus 001 Device 003: ID 05ca:181e Ricoh Co., Ltd"
  In vlc it shows as "CN0CJ3P2724871B9C7XGA00" - "Laptop_Integrated_Webcam_FHD"
