On Satellite A300-1MX webcam does not work properly

After my windows Vista system crashed 16 December 2011, I had made recovery.
After that, I have not found any driver for the webcam on the computer laptop everything. On the Toshiba support page, I finally found the 1.7 version, but this does not at all!

He always appears: driver Webcam open fails, restart the computer or the camera. Since it's built in camera I tried with the restart of the computer, but which did not help at all. So I tried with the option to repair the driver with Install Shield Wizard. The program has done something, but without success.

So I uninstalled and reinstalled and it did not help at all!

Someone has an idea?

Hello

Found an article in the knowledge base of Toshiba which describes this error and provides a solution to this problem.
+ Why displays the error message: "Webcam driver open fail. Restart the computer or the camera. » ? +

But its related to Portege M600 and Satellite U300 only.
However, you should also try to perform a BIOS update. After that, set the BIOS to default settings and save the changes. Then try to reinstall the software of webcam once more.

You should also check the Device Manager. Here in Device Manager that the webcam should be recognized as a USB device, if this isn't the case, then it means that the webcam was not recognized by the OS and that means there could be a hardware problem

As far as I know, the webcam is connected to the USB controller on the motherboard. If the cable connection is lost, then the webcam is not recognized in Device Manager; or as a USB device or an unknown device.

  • 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 L500D - integrated webcam does not work properly

    Hello world

    I have a L500D (I got it for about 2 months now) and yesterday I realized that my webcam did not work properly even if it worked just fine a couple of days.

    Here's the problem: when I turn it on (via Skype or through application of camera web toshiba), the colors are reversed: it's exactly like I had added an effect on the image as 'Posterize' or 'threshold '. Everything is bright, grainy, saturated...

    I tried in low light and high, and the night mode is not on.
    I couldn't solve the problem with the webcam settings, but regardless, I, can not do anywhere near a normal image.

    I spent a lot of time surfing the web but couldn't find a solution (or someone with a similar problem, in fact). I have windows 7 64 bit.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I run my laptop with a lot of care, which makes even more beat when something goes wrong... Thanks in advance!

  • Satellite A300 - Chicony webcam does not work after upgrade to windows 7

    I'm frustrated so I came here to see if anyone knows a way to help solve this problem.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300, which came with Windows Vista 64 - bit pre-installed. After about a year or two to have the laptop, I decided to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit. In the process, I believe that the driver of my webcam (Chicony usb 2.0 camera) has been eliminated.

    When I go into the Device Manager in the Control Panel, the webcam is not listed; nor is "imaging devices."

    I tried to download the driver manually, but I get an error message "Webcam open fail." Restart the computer or the camera. »

    My computer has registered my webcam as 'unknown device '.

    If anyone knows how to solve this problem, please, I beg you, let me know.

    > My computer has registered my webcam as 'unknown device '.
    > I tried to download the driver manually, but I get an error message "Webcam open fail." Restart the computer or the camera. »

    This means that the the webcam driver is not installed correctly.
    Visit the page of European driver of Toshiba and install the software/driver webcam just for this model of laptop.

    If the installation fails, restart the laptop and the tent.
    This should solve the problem.

  • Satellite A300-V01 - webcam does not work with msn

    Hi all

    I was wondering if there was someone out there who could help me...

    I recently bought an A300/V01 and try to use the web camm for it, but whenever I open it on his own (not with msn or any other program), it freezes and will not work, and when I try to send my web cam on msn it tells me that there is no connected webcam.
    I'm pretty computer illiterate so iv tried to fix it myself but sadly failed.

    so, if there is someone out there who knows how to fix it would be great if you could help...

    Thanks xoxo

    Go to the Toshiba website and to update the camera/Webcam driver.

    Also try closing/leave the camera software help.

    You should also install Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1), if it is not installed.

    And to ensure that upgrade to the latest version of MSN Messenger.

  • Satellite A300 FN + F5 does not work properly

    Hello
    I have a Satellite A300, PSAGCA-09U01N.

    I would like to connect a coard S-video from my laptop on my TV, and when I press FN + F5, I don't get the icons appear along the top of my screen _anymore_.
    I always get the plug S-video works, but going from normal setting (just laptop screen) by other modes ('laptop screen + TV' etc) is very slow. Can someone please.

    Hmm... If the icons don't appear if you press a FN key you must reinstall Toshiba value added package if you use Vista or Windows 7. You can download it on the Toshiba driver download page:

    Value added package controls the FN and enlightenment for example keys in order to check this!

    On the tab, make sure you only select the right type of camera you use with your computer.

  • Satellite L775 - mouse pad does not work properly

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L775. I run Win 7 Home Premium. My mouse pad does not work properly. I also have a Logitech Anywhere MX wireless mouse. I tried the mouse pad to work properly with the key FN and F9, but it does not work. And you really have no idea if that turns or out of the mousepad anyway, subj for another time I guess.

    What does not work, but I have to do is to go to Control Panel then mouse option load that and just scroll the tabs without changing what each time and then close and the touch pad works. But only for this session. If I have my laptop nearby, or turn it off, I have to start throughout the whole process.

    What's past and how to fix this?

    Thank you very much.

  • Satellite Pro M10 - infrared does not work properly

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro M10 and my infrared does not work. I downloaded the zip file with the drivers from this site. Then, I uninstalled and reinstalled, but it always happens in the Device Manager under "unknown - SMC IrCC - Fast Port infrared (IR Module: HP). (with an exclamation point). When I look at the properties it says under device status:

    This device does not work properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)

    Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.

    However, under Driver Details is said:
    C:\windows\system32\DRIVERS\smcirda.sys

    I extracted the zip file in my home directory of c:\downloads\infrared.
    whatever I do, it does not now. It worked when I bought it, but I have too many things on the system for a new installation. Which brings me to another question. Is it possible to re - install windows without losing all your data, etc.? I did it with other systems (95,98) Windows. But it seems that the Toshiba recovery disc means any wiping.

    Thanks in advance for any help.
