Erazer Crawler E50 camera and mic issue

Erazer Crawler E50 camera and mic issue (+ RGB keyboard fixed to one color but side problem)

Hello ! 

Bought my E50 like .. 6 months ago ? and never tried the camera (never had too). But today I had the unpleasant suprise to notice that the camera is broken. Same goes for built in microphone (it worked fine til now, but I've always been using headset hence not the built in mic)

I've tried to look for fix online but no success so far.. basically :

  • my camera is enabled in the erazer control center TRUkae_0-1712561323001.png

     

  • it's on, the led is on too, so I know it is
  • however, during preview and calls, the camera shows nothing but a grey blackish screen like there is something hiding it (there isn't. I had a cover that I opened then removed cause it was getting on my nerves. There is nothing in front of the camera)

I've tried with the Camera app (Windows), Discord, Teams, Zoom.. nothing works

for some reason, the microphone doesn't work either

 

I've tried to : 

  • check if the drivers were up to date (they were, for both camera and mic)
  • camera is my main issue (as microphone works with external one) so I tried to look for the latest driver back on MSI website, when pushed live, windows says that I already have a "better" version installed
  • tried to reinstall driver (uninstalled my camera and microphone from device manager then restart PC to reinstall)
  • tried to download latest driver pack from Medion using this https://www1.medion.de/downloads/?op=search&lang=fr&type=TEXT&param=medion latest being "Package De Pilotes Ordinateur Portable MEDION ERAZER Crawler E30e/E50/Scout E30/Defender P50/Deputy P60" on jan 1st 2024, sadly there is nothing to download (file size 0.0 bytes) same goes for the previous one (nov 2023)
  • windows diagnostic tool doesnt detect any problem

 

I don't know what else to do tbh .. camera is the built in BisonCam NB pro

I've trited to plug in a logitech webcam too USB) and it does the same never ending loading screen 

the microphone does work when it's not the builtin one (i.e. when I plugged my earphones in), so the card isn't dead, but maybe the mic itself is ? 

 

here are some test I've run : 

in google meet

webcam test : 

apparently my cam is used by something .. but no, the test was run right after I reboot my PC, nothing is running aside my browser and the test site
