Try re-installing the webcam driver from here: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/uk/en/ukdhs1/Product/inspiron-15-n5030
(Click the "Drivers & Downloads" tab).

If that doesn't fix it, and there are no driver errors showing in Device Manager (ie no question marks or exclamation marks) then it's very likely that the internal webcam has broken and Windows can no longer detect it.

You can buy an external webcam to overcome that problem.
