No webcam in Device Manager

Hello..
I have a Toshiba satellite A305 S6916
Windows Vista SP2
I've never used my webcam... then I went to use and found the Camera Assistant Software and when you click on it... He says that the webcam is disabled (well enough) or not found... so... I went to the Device Manager to see if she was there... There is no imaging device listed... no webcam at all... everything I tried failed and nothing seems to answer my problem... Help, please... No Chicony or whatever it is listed

It comes with Vista, upgrade install and activate Forum.

  • Satellite A300 PSAG4A: Webcam not detected in Device Manager

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 PSAG4A 02L00M with Vista Home Premium 64-bit.
    The webcam is not working and it is not detected in Device Manager.
    When I install the Chicony camera drivers, I get the "Webcam driver open fail. Error message.

    The fact that I can't see the Webcam in Device Manager tells me that there may be a hardware failure.
    However, I hope that this is a setting that I can fix myself.

    I had restored the laptop to factory also and I've updated the bios.
    I tried to uninstall all the USB controllers and reboot the PC.

    Is there something I can do?
    It's maybe a software problem?
    There may be a setting?

    Best way to test the operation of the equipment is to check with the factory settings installation operating system with the Toshiba recovery image. As I see that you have done this already.

    So if cam still doesn't work properly, I fear that there is a problem with the hardware.
    It cannot be matter of software because the recovery image contains the driver for the cam.

  • Webcam does not appear in Device Manager

    I have a model of portable pavilion G62-233NR windows 7 64-bit, with a built-in webcam.  YouC'm software was bundled with it and worked.  Now the webcam is not found by one of the video programs AE Skype, Youcam... etc...

    I also noticed that the webcam does not appear in Device Manager. I tell me that I have to reinstall a driver for it but do not know what driver to install. HP has the following availble drivers for my model but which?  If one of the pilots was labeled "webcam", the task would be easy. I hope because the driver is missing in Device Manager that has installed a driver will set missing cam... I'm worried because I don't see a driver named "webcam" in the list... but what else could the problem, how can I get the driver installed, if that's the problem.

  • Satellite A500 - 17 X - Webcam does not appear in Device Manager

    Hello

    I'm looking for more assistance with a recently purchased A500 - 17 X running on Windows 7 64 bit. The Webcam worked when buying, but has suddenly stopped working. Web camera software is up-to-date with the latest download from the Toshiba site, but returns the message at the launch:

    "Web Camera initialization failed" Please, you check the camera device & restart the application or computer.

    I checked the Device Manager under Imaging for webcam devices & is not listed (it's my own laptop; I also have a Toshiba laptop provided by employer & when the webcam is listed on that one, so I presume that it must appear in the same place!

    Does anyone have any suggestions? Would it be a bad connection to the webcam itself, i.e. a warranty issue, or is there a software solution to check if the webcam is actually present? I scan for new hardware & nothing new is detected.

    Thanks in anticipation!

    Jon

    In my opinion, you should try to reinstall the driver for the webcam. Remove preinstalled software, restart your computer and reinstall the latest version available.

    Best test you can do is to reinstall the recovery image. with factory cam settings should work fine again.

  • Satellite C650-1CR - no webcam showing in Device Manager

    Hello

    I apologize if this question has already been posted. I have a Satellite C650-1CR; PSC08E-029001EN part number; Serial number 7A370192Q. Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

    The webcam, which has worked before, does not now in any program. In MSN it says I have no webcam; in Toshiba Face Recognition, he says camera failed to initialize. I have nothing to this fact - it has just stopped working. If I click on the Toshiba web camera application in the utilities section, nothing happens. The camera does not appear in Device Manager - there is no device images shown.

    I read through the advice here and you have downloaded the driver here, but that does not open. He goes as far as the extraction of the file, but then it will not run or open. I have the latest BIOS (update from Toshiba a couple of days). If I can avoid it, I don't really want to use the recovery disk I have many other things on my laptop that I don't want to lose.

    Any advice or help would be really appreciated. My son just moved to Australia, and it would be great for me to be able to use the webcam. I hope I gave enough information on the laptop and the problem.

    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Linda

    Hey Buddy,

    So if there is no webcam listed in Device Manager, you must check the installed programs in Control Panel > uninstall a program. Usually the webcam software should be in there and if yes remove it. Then, restart your computer.

    To remove all also run a registry cleaner like CCleaner which can remove old registry keys. It s freeware tool is therefore no problem to find using Google. After that you have to reboot your laptop again and then install the latest webcam software from the official page of Toshiba.

    Even after restart and you should be able to use the webcam again. Can you confirm this?

  • PA: Uninstalled my webcam drivers and now webcam is missing from Device Manager

    Hello

    I had trouble with my webcam I decided to uninstall the driver to try reinstalling one from scratch.

    The problem is that now my webcam is still not displayed in Device Manager, so I can't access its settings to try to update the driver.

    It was a very stupid thing to do, and now I don't know what to do...

    Thanks in advance!

    Cecilia

    Hi Cecilia,.

    Unless you have already done, the first thing I would say is just to reboot the laptop and see if Windows RE-discovered the Webcam and load a driver for it.

    If this does not work, try to run the system restore to return the machine to a point in time before that you deleted the windows driver - see Option 2 below.
