Logitech Webcam C920e: does anyone have the firmware?

Sat, 10 Jan 2026 12:50:10 -0700

Hi,

I have this camera and it stopped working. now it doesn't show up as a camera, but as a mass storage device with 0 space.

usb 3-6.1.2: new high-speed USB device number 16 using xhci_hcd
[522886.157556] usb 3-6.1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=046d, idProduct=083f, bcdDevice= 1.00
[522886.157561] usb 3-6.1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[522886.157563] usb 3-6.1.2: Product: USB VSNx      
[522886.157565] usb 3-6.1.2: Manufacturer: USB VSN BOOT  
[522886.157567] usb 3-6.1.2: SerialNumber: 123456789000

I assume it lost it's "boot-drive" contents / firmware? maybe bit rot in flash memory?

anyway, does anyone have any ideas what, if anything, could be done?
I'm willing and able to use an external programmer if i can identify the flash chip, but getting the correct contents seems like a long shot.

I cannot transfer the files from this camera to my computer! The camera thinks it is charging. I am using a different USB cable from the provided USB cable in the set.

Who do you fix or replace the USB connection? It got displaced when the owl fell down when connected to a tripod.

Logitech Mevo Start: Why is the right side of my video blurry?

Wed, 26 Nov 2025 17:18:27 -0700

I have a Mevo start and the video is blurry on the far right side. The rest of the video is just fine. I have cleaned the lens several times and no change. I have contacted them and they do not offer a out of warranty repair service.

Webcam: What USB Miroscope to buy

Thu, 27 Dec 2018 00:31:54 -0700

Lately I’m doing some repair stuff on newer hardware and would like to use a USB Microscope for that because it is %#*@ small stuff today. Wile soldering on a C64 is easily, but those small components today makes it a lot more difficult.

So i bought a cheap USB Microscope on the internet, but i am not satisfied whit it. First of all it does not autofocus. Secondly it was announced as 2 MegaPixel, while taking picture. They didn’t tell it only does 0.3 mp while streaming video.

I scruwed a 24” monitor to my wall to display the video. It has a native resolution of 1920x1080 so i would like a cam whit at least 2mp streaming. There are a lots of Webcams for under 20 bugs who Autofocus and do FullHD capturing. But why not as a Microscope? The most i found (even the expensive ones) only doe 640x480 (0.3MP that is) and almost non has autofocus.

So does someone knows a good brand and/or type of Camera who can doe this.

Cisco EX90: Taking a rear cover off

Mon, 28 May 2018 06:02:39 -0700

Hi!

We need to take a back black panel off to clean and may be replace a power connector. Unscrewing the screws did not release the cover. Is there any special latch or some other mechanism that still holds the cover?

Thanks

my webcam crystal eye simply doesn't work. Is it a software issue or the driver or the hardware.
