This has indeed been covered before in several threads. To such a point I might start merging them soon.

Most causes of this are the webcam itself burning out. Some people have tried reinstalling the firmware for the cam, but the only success I've read is where people have physically installed a new cam.

Use the search function and you'll find other posts regarding the webcam failing.
