  • Integrated on my Satellite T130 webcam does not work

    Hi all

    the built-in on my Satellite T130 webcam does not work.

    I use Windows 7 Home Premium and already reinstalled the drivers of webcam 64-bit through this Web site. However, when I click on the webcam application, simply, nothing happens - program doesn't open at all or turn off instantly. Skype is not also acknowledge a cam. In addition, there is no webcam in Device Manager (a not detected USB device however) and no symbol of cam in the Ribbon of Toshiba quicklaunch, which is like the camera is started according to the "manual".

    Someone has an idea what is the problem? Looks like a common problem according to Google, but no suggestions other than to reinstall the drivers. Perhaps another application blocking the camera? Firewall settings?

    I'd appreciate any help, thank you.

    Best regards Florian

    > a USB not detected if

    Maybe it's the webcam from the webcam is connected to the internal USB controller on the motherboard.

    It looks like a webcam driver is not installed correctly.
    Try the webcam driver released for the satellite t230 or other series of satellites.
    Versions are newer

    Also recommend that you check the BIOS settings.
    In some cases, the BIOS contains a webcam option where the webcam can be turned on and off.

  • Satellite A300-1NO - webcam does not work, but the LED lights

    Hello!

    I have a laptop Satellite A300-1NO, with Win 7 installed. My problem is that my webcam does not work always, when I want to use it. Sometimes, it works perfectly in Skype, WLM etc... but sometimes I see a white or a black screen with a 'loading circle' in there. Blue is the LED light, I can see it in Device Manager too, but there is no picture, just 'loading '. I tried to uninstall the driver and then reinstall it, I installed the new "camera Assistant for Toshiba", without success.

    Is there any solution for this?

    > Is there any solution for this?
    I put t think there is solution for this. If I understand you right there is a problem with software pre-installed. It is not easy to say why this is happening.

    I have Satellite A300 too and use it with Win7 32 bit. Webcam works fine all the time.

    One more thing: have you noticed this problem in the first moments after installing Win7 or later?
    Have you installed something that may be the reason for this?

  • Satellite A660 - Webcam does not work when using Skype

    I recently bought a Satellite A660-15J. I am running Windows 7 64 bit.

    I have the latest version of Skype (5.3.0.111).

    The integrated Webcam does not work when you run Skype. If I run the Toshiba Web Camera Application the webcam works fine. However, when I test it in Skype, I get a message saying "cannot start video. Try quitting other programs that use the webcam '.

    However, as far as I can tell there no other programs available. I have tried Skype with the Web Camera Application clised & open. I also confirmed that I do run the latest version of the program.

    One of the main reasons we have this laptop is to use Skype video... Help, please.

    Disable webcam application start-up and exit this application before you start Skype.

    I used Skype many different models of laptops, including friends A660 and it worked correctly.

    When you open Skype video settings is listed as default camera USB webcam?

  • Webcam does not work on my Satellite L850

    Hello

    My webcam does not work.
    I need your help!

    In my opinion, I tried all possible.

    -Satellite L850 11Q
    -Windows 7 all updates
    -webcam installed Toshiba driver/application
    -any other webcam software
    -no entry in the Device Manger/windows webcam

    What can I do?

    Hello

    Have you installed another Win 7 on this laptop or are you using the system preinstalled by Toshiba?

    If the webcam is not listed in the device, as an unknown device, or as a Device Manager to imagine, then that would mean that the material was not recognized by the system, that means that there is a connection hurt tight between the webcam and the motherboard or the webcam is defective.

    If it worked in the past?

    Also check the settings in the BIOS, in many cases the webcam can be enabled / disabled in the BIOS.

  • Satellite A300D-15B - Webcam does not work after upgrade to Windows 7

    My webcam does not work after upgrade to Windows 7. I installed the drivers but still having no luck

    Hey Buddy,

    What does it mean exactly when you say he won t work?
    You get an error message or only a black image? What model of laptop you have and that you use the Toshiba Windows 7 upgrade kit or a disc of Microsoft?

    At this moment I can only offers to install latest driver of the webcam of the official website of Toshiba. Make sure that this driver is released for Windows 7 and not Vista.

  • Webcam does not work on my Satellite L650 - 10G

    Hello!

    First of all, I must say that I'm a French user. For many months, my webcam is not working more. The pre installed Toshiba Webcam application disappeared so I tried several times to reinstall the driver on the Toshiba site without success.

    Today, I decided to install Windows 7, as if my computer is new, as the first day. I thought it would help to solve this problem permanently, but once installation is complete, I couldn't find the Toshiba Webcam application. It's strange because this request must be on my computer time the first that I used it.

    Does this mean that my webcam is broken? Do you have a solution

    Thank you
    Johan

    > Today I decided to install Windows 7 as if my computer was again...
    It was a very good decision. It's the best way to check the operation of the equipment.
    >... I couldn't find the Toshiba Webcam application.
    That s is somewhat strange. When you open Control Panel > programs and features, you should be able to find which listed there. All pre-installed software are included.

    I m not 100% sure, but it should start with Windows by default, or you can start it manually using start > all programs > Toshiba > utilities > Web camera Application.
