Re: Satellite L550-13V - webcam number - yellow stars instead of my image

Hi all

I have a toshiba Satellite L550 13V and everything works perfectly for a year and a half now.
Recently, I wanted to use the webcam via Skype and it did not work.

In fact, it is the webcam itself that can not pinpoint my face.
When I see in the Device Manager, it says that the webcam works and the driver is up-to-date.
I don't know what to do?  :|

What can be the problem?
I can't take pictures or shoot a film.
Instead of my face, there are several yellow stars.

Thanks for any help

Hello

I think its easy to solve.
Launch the webcam software (all programs-> toshiba)
Then go to effect settings and check if there is an option called the mosquito net
Disable this.

This should help

    Hello

    The webcam driver v 1.1.1.4 is available on the page of the Toshiba driver and it should work properly.
    Did you check in the BIOS in webcam settings is enabled?
    Please do this first!

    BIOS-> Advanced-> Control Panel

    If the webcam is enabled, make sure that Win 7 value added package has been installed before the webcam software.

    If that does not solve the installation problem, I recommend to try a newer version of the software of the webcam that is set to the most recent series of portable Satellite

It does not show in windows, not in the Solution Explorer, not in Device Manager (if cela is the English name of it, I don't know, I'm German speaking).

  • Satellite L550 PSLW8A can only get OEM Win7 Pro 32-bit to 64-bit?

    Hi all

    I am writing from Australia.

    Two weeks ago, I bought a new laptop Toshiba ([http://tinyurl.com/ye6jkuq]) with the following characteristics:

    Model: Satellite L550
    Reference number: PSLW8A-01101F
    BIOS: V1.60
    CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU P7450 2.13 GHz
    RAM: 4 GB
    HARD DRIVE: 500 GB
    OS: Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (OEM preinstalled)

    My question:
    How can I switch to Win7 Pro * 32 - bit * for Win7 Pro * 64 - bit *?

    If I use the recovery disk (the hidden recovery partition) utility to do a clean reinstallation of Win7 Pro, I will give the choice during the process of resettlement of the installation either the 32-bit version or 64-bit?

    Or I have + not + get the choice at all and simply be limited to the OEM Win7 Pro 32-bit that came pre-installed version?

    All advice or information about how to pass OEM Win7 Pro 32-bit to Win7 Pro 64-bit would be appreciated.

    Nick

    Hello

    AFAIK almost all new laptops are available with 32 and 64-bit OS and two recovery images are saved on the HARD drive.
    When you start installation HARD drive you should see the option to choose which version must be installed.

    Simply start the installation of HARD drive and you will see what menu you will see at the beginning. Not be afraid to do so. Nothing will happen.
    Real OS installation starts two steps later. If you can not damage preinstalled OS.

  • Upgrading RAM on Satellite L550 - 11K

    I have Toshiba Satellite L550 - 11K and I'm on 4 GB of DDR2 - 800 pc2-6400 RAM.
    I want to install my portable 2x4gb ddr3-1066 pc3-8500 ram, is it possible? Or I can use 2 x 4 GB ddr2-800, and how it effects my graphics card once I installed these RAM and my motherboard is Intel gm45.

    Thank you

    In General, you can buy everything you want. This number is for the RAM that is recommended by Toshiba. Recommended modules are tested ad will work for sure.

    You can also buy some piece of cheap hardware, but please don't cry here if your laptop does not start successfully with these Rams. This forum is full of such offers.

    Please note: the Modules of RAM 'Value' use many chips cheap using several banks/channels, which can cause problems of compatibility with some Chipsets/CPUS.

    Hello everyone, I am a newbie here and I came here because I have a love-hate relationship with my new computer laptop.

    I have a Satellite L550 - 13 c and I have problems with getting the sound right.and every time I want to adjust the sound and play a little music louder, the flude comes up and so hard that the entire House is awake.

    My question is: how I cut the build micro or how I throw who? I cannot use my speakers up to about 45%, otherwise your FLUDE rises and this is because the build in mic is on, while I disabled all the MIC's! I do not understand and the laptop came with windows 7 installed.

    Please help me? If you know the answer, please write to me, I'm desperate

    Thanks in advance ;-))

    Hello

    Have you tried to reduce the volume of the microphone and disable the microphone amp? Therefore, go to sound settings in Windows and select input devices. Here, you can change the volume of the microphone and in options advanced microphone thrust.
    Check this box!

    I will try more updated sound driver and webcam. The two you can get here:

  • I can't get the bookmarks to record properly. The yellow star turns on, but nothing is recorded anywhere else. Do not display the registered bookmarks at all. How can I solve this in version 9.0.1?

    I can't get the bookmarks to record properly... The yellow star lights (even when I return to the site), but there is no indication when I try to view all bookmarks. Nothing shows no more on the bookmarks toolbar. Backup files seem to be empty. I tried to restart with all add-ons disabled in safe mode and it still wouldn't save a bookmark correctly.

    One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

  • Difficult to change because FF bookmarks tell me where they are when I click on the yellow star.

    The yellow star works very well for the storage of new bookmarks, but if the bookmark exists already, I get only the little box "edit bookmark", and not the box full that shows where it is and allows me to change. My Favorites are all organized into folders, and sometimes I don't remember where the bookmark is stored. Any ideas why I should have such a problem?

    Further investigation showed that an add-on named Omnibar more caused the problem of not being able to change the bookmark, but thanks for the info on the Add-ons that find the parent... Russ

    I use Windows XP. I get a list of web sites visited previously when I enter data in the navigation toolbar (topic: home... with the yellow star at the end of the right hand of it). I don't want to get this list of web sites due to privacy issues. I can't understand how to remove.

  • Can I use another laptop with Satellite L550-129 adaptor?

    Hello

    My Satellite L550-129 card is broken. (dc 19 V ~4.7 (A).

    Can I use an adapter of a mini laptop Toshiba NB500-135? (dc 19 V ~ 1.58 A)

    It is therefore the same Volt but a lower amp, can I damage something?

    Greetings,

    Bart

    Hello

    Volt value must be the same! It is very important to avoid than anything.
    In your case, the same value of Volt AC to other support adapter, so you won't damage anything other THAN the value of the intensity is very low and I guess that the adapter does not provide enough power for L550 notebook. For example: recharge the battery would take much more time.

    However, I think you could check it simply as mentioned; you won't damage anything.
