Frequently asked questions

Will this fit an 840 G7 without IR (RGB-only webcam)?
No - this cable carries both RGB and IR signals. Non-IR models use a shorter variant.

Do I need to reinstall the driver?
Usually not - Windows redetects automatically. If not, reinstall the HP camera driver.

Is soldering required?
No - it's a plug-in connection on both the board and camera module.
