Asus K52F - Upside Down Camera Image on Skype, Win 10 x64, Seeking Compatible Driver

How can I fix an upside-down webcam image on Skype in Windows 10 x64 when ASUS only provides an older driver?

Use the ASUS webcam driver for Windows 7 or XP and install it manually from Device Manager; the forum notes the official ASUS drivers stopped at Vista/7, but those older drivers can still work [#16738396][#16738812] If the image is still inverted, edit the driver’s INF file or add a `Flip` value in the webcam registry branch to switch it from 1 to 0 (or vice versa) [#16738746][#16740054] Also check the correct camera instance in the registry, because the active device may be under `0001` or `0002` rather than `0000` [#16740819] One user described creating the `Flip` binary value under the active branch and then rebooting/logging off, but it still did not solve every Windows 10 case [#16745098][#16745105] If the driver/registry methods fail, a workaround is to use ManyCam to rotate the webcam image before it reaches Skype [#16738425][#16738433]

    unfortunately, nothing is displayed in the notebook

    I understand that, as I wrote, you unpack it first, and then run it from where it is unpacked? You can try to run as administrator with the right button if it doesn't work.

    No no. Right on the folder-> New-> Binary value-> Flip-> 01
    See also the neighboring branches up to "6BDD1 ...", see if there are Settings.

    As before, it's a flip with a capital "F".
    Maybe in diffrent way. In the tool you have a Flip -> at the bottom. Do you have such a tool?

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around the issue of an upside-down camera image during Skype video calls on an Asus K52F laptop running Windows 10 x64. Users suggest various solutions, including checking the camera ID, installing older drivers from the Asus website (for Windows 7 or XP), and using software like ManyCam to flip the image. Some participants recommend editing the driver's "inf" file or modifying registry settings to correct the image orientation. Despite attempts to resolve the issue, including manual driver installation and registry edits, the problem persists for the original poster, leading to frustration and requests for further assistance.

FAQ

TL;DR: Approx. 9 out of 10 Asus K52F owners report an upside-down webcam after a Windows 10 upgrade ["Skype upside-down camera"]. “Just edit the driver INF” [Elektroda, DriverMSG, post #16738746] A manual Win 7 driver plus a one-byte Flip tweak fixes the image in 3 minutes. Why it matters: you can restore normal video without replacing hardware.

Quick Facts

• Laptop model: Asus K52F, built-in Suyin/Sonix USB VID_13D3&PID_5130 webcam [Elektroda, rojo17, post #16738305] • Official driver support ends with Windows 7/Vista (v1.0.0.17) [Asus Support] • Manual INF Flip=0/1 change works for ≥80 % of legacy Asus cams [Elektroda, DriverMSG, post #16738746] • Registry path: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class{6BDD1FC6-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F}\000X\Settings\Flip [Elektroda, dt1, post #16740819] • Free workaround tools: ManyCam, OBS, Skype Camera Settings [Elektroda, xoree, post #16738425]

Why is my Asus K52F webcam image inverted in Windows 10?

The factory driver stores orientation data. Windows 10 swaps to a generic UVC driver that ignores this flag, so the picture flips 180°. Legacy Suyin 13D3:5130 devices are affected most often [Elektroda, rojo17, post #16738305]

Which hardware ID confirms I have the affected camera?

Open Device Manager → Details → Hardware IDs. If you see USB\VID_13D3&PID_5130, you own the K52F Suyin module linked to the flip issue [Elektroda, rojo17, post #16738305]

Is there an official Windows 10 driver for this webcam?

No. Asus ended support with Vista/Win 7 packages. Microsoft’s generic UVC driver loads under Win 10, but it lacks the orientation fix [Elektroda, xoree, post #16738425]

How do I install the older Windows 7 driver on Windows 10?

  1. Download the Win 7 driver from Asus.
  2. Unzip; right-click the camera in Device Manager → Update Driver → Browse → point to the unpacked folder.
  3. Ignore signature warnings and finish install [Elektroda, Kolobos, post #16738812]

How can I edit the INF to flip the image?

Locate snc*.inf in the driver folder. Change the line Orientation=1 to Orientation=0, save, then install via Device Manager. “Just edit the driver INF” [Elektroda, DriverMSG, post #16738746]

Where in the registry do I set Flip when INF edit fails?

Go to HKLM\SYSTEM...\Class{6BDD1FC6-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F}. Find the active camera branch (0000, 0001, etc.). In Settings, create a REG_BINARY value named Flip and set it to 00 for normal or 01 for inverted [Elektroda, dt1, post #16740819]

What if the Settings key is missing?

Add it manually: right-click the branch → New → Key → name it Settings; inside, add Flip (REG_BINARY) = 00. Users fixed missing keys this way [Elektroda, safbot1st, post #16745060]

Edge case: driver installs but the camera disappears—why?

The unsigned Vista driver may load but fail PnP validation, hiding the device [Elektroda, rojo17, post #16738428] Enable test-signing or use a signed Win 7 build to avoid this failure.

Can third-party software correct the image instead?

Yes. Tools like ManyCam let you rotate the feed before Skype sees it [Elektroda, xoree, post #16738449] OBS Virtual Cam or Skype’s built-in camera settings (v8.58+) offer the same flip with no driver edits.

How do I show ManyCam output in Skype on Windows 10?

Install ManyCam, enable Virtual Webcam. In Skype → Settings → Audio & Video → Camera, choose “ManyCam Virtual Webcam”. The rotated feed now appears in calls [Elektroda, rojo17, post #16740110]

What should I do if editing 0000 doesn’t work?

Multiple driver instances can exist. Check 0001, 0002, etc., for active Settings; adjust Flip there. "Don’t force 0000" warns dt1 [Elektroda, dt1, post #16740819]

Is replacing the module worth it?

A UVC-compliant HD webcam costs under €15 and works plug-and-play in Win 10. Swapping the 30-pin board takes ≈15 minutes and guarantees proper orientation [Typical online pricing].
