Genuine Dell OEM IR Webcam Module

This is a genuine Dell original equipment manufacturer infrared webcam module carrying part number 242KP. It includes integrated microphones and a 2.7MM RGB infrared camera lens assembly. The unit is designed as a direct replacement for the factory-fitted camera in specific Alienware laptops.

Suits owners of listed Alienware 14 15 17 models

The module fits Alienware m15 R7, m15 R7 AMD, m17 R5 AMD, x14, x15 R2 and x17 R2 systems that originally shipped with this exact 242KP part. Buyers whose laptops use a different camera module or who need a standard RGB-only webcam should look elsewhere.

Simple swap for experienced laptop repairers

Installation requires opening the display assembly, disconnecting the old camera cable and fitting the new module in its place. The fragile ribbon connector and tight bezel clips are the usual failure points; take care not to pinch the cable during reassembly.
