Since I flashed this BIOS I can't see the webcam of my Asus S550CM notebook on devices manager. Maybe is a missed module?

@Tony2k:
Who modified the BIOS and which modules were changed?

My current System:
MB: ASRock X570 Pro4, CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600, System Drive: 500 GB Samsung 980 Pro, Graphics: Sapphire Radeon RX570, OS: Win10 x64 Pro

Hi Fernando! I have bought this bios online after that I deleted my original one by mistake, here you can read all the story... Theoretically this is original bios for my laptop, all works except webcam. I checked also cables from mobo to cam and are ok.

Since the BIOS obviously has been modded by the vendor, you should ask him, which BIOS modules he has changed.

I cannot help you with this. Since a webcam is not a bootable device, there will be no Option ROM for it within the BIOS.

So can be only a hardware problem, right?

Probably yes. What does the Device Manager show regarding the webcam?
Is the device detected at all? If yes, has it a yellow flag?

Are you sure, that the device is connected to the mainboard and not disabled within the mainboard BIOS?
If yes, your chinese vendor has modified one of the system BIOS modules.

Yes, is connected. On the bios there isn't the option to disable webcam.
