Lenovo SL300 webcam doesn't work

Hello.

Since two years Arch Linux is running on my laptop (Lenovo SL300) without any problems. Two weeks ago I installed a new system with Arch but suddenly my webcam doesn't work.

luvcview sais:

Video driver: x11
A window manager is available
video /dev/video0 
Unable to set format: 22.
Init v4L2 failed !! exit fatal

dmesg:

Linux video capture interface: v2.00
uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device USB2.0 UVC PC Camera (17ef:480a)
uvcvideo: Forcing device quirks to 0x32 by module parameter for testing purpose.
uvcvideo: Please report required quirks to the linux-uvc-devel mailing list.
uvcvideo: UVC non compliance - GET_DEF(PROBE) not supported. Enabling workaround.
usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo
USB Video Class driver (v0.1.0)

lsusb:

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 17ef:480a Lenovo

I can't find the id 17ef:480e in the list of the uvc-webcams.
Also I tried the option quirks=16 with modprobe to load uvcvideo, but nothing changed.
Has anybody a solution for the problem?

thanks
