I checked the BIOS and found no settings for camera.

May sound like a stupid question, but have you got one? I've got 4 x thinkpad T430. Couldn't figure out why I couldn't get the camera working on one. Took me a while to realise it didn't have a camera, just a plastic blanking piece where the camera should be.

Yes, there is one, as seen on https://icomputer.eu/wp-content/uploads ... k-e754.jpg.
It worked fine, when I had windows on laptop.

Hello,
Check the Linux Mint Community to find out if your cam is supported :
https://community.linuxmint.com/hardware/search

or at least if it's UVC compliant :
http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/

On my Asus laptop, the integrated cam wasn't. Bought one that was, has been immediately detected by the uvcvideo module and is working fine. Of course, just a single experience for what's worth.
