webcam in inpiron 1420 stop working

[joseardzm]

I only have about 6 days with ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-16generic (first time with ubunut!), and like 2 days ago i tested my webcam with cheese, it worked, a little bit slow but at least it worked. This night i wanted to use it again or test it to use it with aMSN, when i see a video like the one in "hardware testing" instead of the webcam capture (using cheese). With camorama i get this error "could not connect to video device (/dev/video0) Please check connection" when this happens, the blue led blinks.

any help will be gladly appreciated
sorry if this issue has already an answer, I search but i didnt find anything, and I didnt wanted to post in already sovled threads.

You may have to work with the settings > Open Ekiga > Edit > Preferences > Video > Video Devices > try changing some of the settings.( Video Plugin if it shows V4L change to V4L2) if working with the settings does not work or help.
