G750JW Built-in Webcam & Mic do not work anymore

I'm having a frustrating issue that I've been trying to fix myself for a while now, but I haven't had any luck.
I can't figure out what specifically is causing my problem.

I purchased the G750JW last February and I absolutely love it. I still do, but my built-in webcam and
microphone do not work anymore. I don't mind that the microphone doesn't work because I have a wireless
headset/mic I prefer to use. I went to use Skype the other night and was surprised that my webcam wasn't
coming on. I haven't used the webcam in a while, so I can't say precisely how long it's been this way.

I attached a few pics below as well.

The mic shows up in the device manager and recording devices, but it's non-functional. I've tried updating and
re-installing drivers. Nothing.

The webcam doesn't even show up in the device manager. I can't find it when I go to add devices. No imaging
devices in the device manager. The mic shows up, as I said before.

I tried to use the mic set-up. Nothing. When I open the recording devices, I see the green bar next to the mic peak for
a second.

Someone told me to remove USB Charger Plus. I did so, but no results. I don't know if that was a valid solution
in the first place, but I was desperate to try anything.

As I said, I've tried to solve this myself - I've found a few threads on this forum with people who have the same issue, but I
just can't pinpoint what's causing mine.

Any assistance, advice, or suggestions are GREATLY appreciated.

Hi ghostofgriever,
I have absolutely the same issue with mine 750JH.
Have you resolved it?

Did this happen after Win10 upgrade? or just out of the blue? Do you have Win10?

no, curently Win 8.1 installed.
but I don't know exactly when this problem happened.
and some time ago laptop was in service - mother board, HD, screen and keyboard were replaced by waranty.
so it can be some hardware issue also, may be they just not connected.
