• Portege A600-13D - webcam stopped working

  Hello

  I have a Netbook Toshiba Portege A600-13D old, I am very satisfied with it, but lately the WEBCAM does not work and I have no idea what to do. If I try to activate the camera, I have the answer:

  The WEB camera could not been initialized

  Systemcontrol is the message:

  The camera could not been started, Code 10

  If I look at the driver and try to update, the message is:

  The optimal driver is already installed

  Maybe someone has an idea of what I can do and how to proceed. Sorry my bad English!

  Thanks in advance and best regards

  Hello

  Error code 10 means that the device could not start.
  This may be related to driver problem (software), but also hardware problem.

  Let's see if its a software issue: check that I recommend you to uninstall the software for a Chicony webcam first.
  As far as I know, you should be able to uninstall the software in the control panel? programs & features.
  In the case of the Chicony webcam software is not listed here, go to Device Manager and uninstall the webcam driver which you should find in imaging devices.

  After the system restart, go to the page of the Toshiba UE driver and download Chicony webcam software to perform the new installation.
  You will probably need to restart the laptop once more to make it work properly.

  So lets hope that this accelerated procedure would solve your problem of course that if the problem is related to the problem of software.

• Portege A600-12O - impossible to reinstall Windows XP

  When reinstalling windows XP on Portege A600-12O, I get following error:
  Integrated HARD disk errors: the product recovery CD can not reinstall the operating system.

  A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
  If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

  Hello

  In my opinion, the Toshiba Recovery disk error message is very interesting and says a lot. What do you think about this?

  If your HARD drive is defective, you need a new and you are not able to reinstall the OS. Maybe your HARD drive needs to be exchanged.

  In your case I would contact an authorized service provider. Technicians can check your laptop and if it of under warranty, you should get a new HARD drive for free.

• Portege A600 Webcam software crashes when changing the settings with the sound muted

  I have a problem with XP Toshiba factory build for Portege A600 and Portege R600.
  If you try to change the sound properties of the Webcam using the Camera Assistant Software with the sound muted, the camera wizard app will hang & Windows fails to shut down or even stop. The only way to stop is pressed the power button until the machine stops.

  So far, the only solution I can come to is to increase the volume to zero rather than using the mute box. The problem is if you forget and mute rather than turning down and then try to change the sound properties, its "game over." In addition, it is not really satisfactory because politics is to keep the machines muted until the sound is required.

  This does not happen with the Vista Build, build it only XP.

  My guess is that this will not happen on any machine using the Chicony Webcam & software with the Realtek HD audio but I have not tried on machines enough yet to be sure. So far, I've recreated on two A600s and a R600. The machines are not defective and you can create the problem, "straight out of the box. Just do the following:
  (1) use the provided Toshiba product recovery DVD for restore factory Toshiba Windows XP SP2 version
  (2) once you have done the whole stuff, mute
  (3) open the Camera Assistant Software application & to select Properties
  4) click the audio settings tab

  That of all, suspended. The Camera Assistant Software version is 1.7.209.0807L which seems to be the last being available for download on the websites of Toshiba.

  Someone has encountered this or have any suggestions?

  Hello

  I n t have a Portege but U400 with pre-installed and integrated webcam Win XP.
  I installed a clean Win XP and then upgraded the XP to the last State and installed all the drivers available from the Toshiba page and possible.

  I followed the steps in your message and I have to say that I didn t notice strange questions, software webcam still works correctly

  I put t know what could be the problem, but I recommend that you check the audio driver to update maybe you can use the Realtek page
  Also, check if the BIOS has been updated to the current state and if your Windows XP is up to date.

  Hello

  I think that your keyboard is faulty.
  Connect an external USB keyboard and check if both CTRL would work.
  If both work correctly using the external keyboard, then your internal keyboard should be replaced to solve this problem.

  Hello

• Portege A600-133: DVD player disappears from my computer

  Hello

  I have a laptop Portege A600-133.
  First of all, it is slow at the opening of my computer screen.

  Second: after ejecting a disc dvd or cd, Windows still shows the contents of the disc, the system hangs for a while, a USB unplug sound can be heard and the dvd player disappears from Windows (in my computer / Explorer / Device Manager)

  What this may be?

  I did already the round of upper/lower filters in the registry, but it does not solve the problem...
  I opened the computer laptop and checked the wiring to the dvd drive, cleaned the contacts, supported on the connectors.

  But the problem is still there...
  OS = Windows XP SP3

  Kind regards

  Arjan

  Hello

  My first idea was to remove the upper and lower registry key filters, but it seems that you have already done this.

  Nevertheless, here is a knowledge of MS on the upper and lower filters article mentioned.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/270008/en-us

  Hmm if the unit is not present in the device manager then this means that the device is not connected or he's dead

  You should check if the ODD (optical disc) is recognized in the BIOS.
  You should also check if it of possible to boot from the bootable CD.

  If this is not possible then it may mean that your WEIRD malfunction

• Portege A600-133 - Slim Port Replicator III does not entirely

  Hello...

  I just got a Slim Port Replicator III (model PA3681E-2PRP) and annexed a number of devices (a VGA monitor, a USB keyboard and a USB mouse), according to the user manual.

  The unit, however, does well with my laptop (a Portege A600-133). Specifically, the laptop battery does not, the devices are not recognized and docking led remains off. However, the laptop turns on and off of the port replicator power switch, and the ethernet port also works very well.

  Clues?

  Thank you!

• Portege A600-175 - failed to start the card reader device

  I got a Portege A600-175 running windows XP SP3 with a problem in the card reader device. Insert an SD card, it makes the sound that USB devices usually do when inserted (and also when it is removed) bur it doesn t appear on my computer. Do the Device Manager, it appears as a disc with an exclamation point on it and in properties, I see the error this device cannot start. (Code 10)

  I ve already removed the device and let windows find and install again but the problem persists.

  Thanks in advance for looking into it.

  Hi fjdc,.

  I think that you should look for an update to the driver on the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Remove the old version, restart the computer and install the version of the Toshiba page.

• Portege A600-128 - no card detected WiFi and no sound through headphones

  Hello
  I recently encounter some problem with my portege a600-128. Not illustrated, wireless network adapters a so no wifi detection, more when using headphones, realtek HD audio software detects them being plugged, but no sound is not output - I was wondering if it is a problem with the software, or perhaps of a damage...

  Re: wifi, I tried to download the driver realtek_wlan_20100225.zip on the site, but nothing has changed. In fact, the single adapter in Device Manager is the adapter broadband toshiba f3507g mobile, and in network connections, I don't see this one. Try to "find the hardware changes" in Device Manager only managed the laptop to realize that my Alps pointing device (touchpad) is not installed (if she always worked and always made)-trying to install tpdrv-20081103180427. ZIP has not changed anything...

  Thanks for any help!

  Hey Buddy,

  Have you checked if the WiFi is enabled by using the FN + F8 key combination? If your laptop is a hardware WLAN switch, it must be defined on IT!
  In addition I recommend you load the default settings in the BIOS.

  On your sound problem, have you tried to update the audio driver?

• Portege A600 - Windows 7 installation CD/DVD device driver

  Hello.

  I am trying to install Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on my Portege A600.

  I tried to boot from the DVD, flash. I changed all of the possible settings in the BIOS, I have updated the BIOS to version 3.0, but I still have this bloody error "a required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing". Is there a place where I can download this driver to show the installer without having to download a 100 TB of pron?

  Or is there a way to fix my problem?

  Hello

  First of all there is no special driver CD/DVD. It of a part of Windows 7 and so there are no drivers available.

  It would be interesting to know when you get this error exactly.

  Maybe your defective CD/DVD drive. You can test another?

• Portege A600: 3 G radio off and can depend on the use of Win 7 64 bit

  I have a Portege A600 with 3G (Ericsson F3507g).

  The Wireless Manager says the radio is off and I should activate it via the hardware switch.
  The switch is turned on, but only effects the Wifi and Bluetooth. FN + F8 does nothing.

  All the drivers are installed and I also installed RF 3 G utility.
  There is nothing in the BIOS referring to WWAN. I have Windows 7 64 bit installed.

  I saw a suggestion to install the value Pack, but the two zip files will not extract because they suggest that they are part of a multi zip pack.
