Ok so I'm still playing about with the Ideapad Flex 4.
I reinstalled Ali's Big Daddy PCLOS distro and all the billions of packages I
usually install. Then me own home built apps and scripts for multimedia
stuff.
Everything works, except the webcam, mic and touchscreen. The touchscreen is
not hi on me list so I let it go for another day.
The cam and mic, however, I need to help guide me crakmonkeys through whatever
itblows nightmare they're on at the moment. This is, of course, the problem
is the mic and webcam. Then it's the phone...
Well, no matter what I did, I couldn't get either to work. I net searched, I
load and unloaded mods, but nothing. I had sound, so why not the mic.
Eventually I gave up. Annoyed by this, I went and got the Ali voodoo doll I
made. I was about to poke it's wee head with a large pin when I noticed the
camera button on the keyboard. "Hmm" I thought and press func and the cam
button. Well silly me, it was off, as was the mic. I stabbed voodoo Ali
anyway, but only once and put him away.
The lesson here is to familiarize oneself with the machine and check the on
off switches.
