• Satellite L300 - driver Open Webcam fail. Restart the computer or the camera

  Hello

  I recently bought a new Satellite L300 under Windows Vista Home Premium SP1. The Webcam worked fine for a few days and then the next time I booted up Vista, I get the following error "Webcam driver open fail, please restart camera or computer. Since the computer is new I reformatted to see if it wasn t a program is blocking something.

  Reformat 2 times and the error still ride on the installation of the Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba. I downloaded the update from Toshiba support file but still the same error. The funny thing is that the Device Manager does not detect even the webcam. There is no registration for the webcam. How will I know that it is a hardware problem? Does anyone have experience with this problem?

  The store that I bought it offered to give me a new, but do not have any in stock, so I have to wait 3 weeks.

  Thank you

  Hello

  The webcam must be listed in the Device Manager. It s not called not webcam but you should find it in the imagery of the devices-> USB video device

  The webcam should work fine. Usually after installing the webcam software, you should find the webcam software in the MSCONFIG-> startup
  If the webcam is listed here then that would mean that the software/driver webcam still load during a laptop boot procedure.

  In some cases there could be a compatibility issue between this software and a 3rd party applications like MS messenger or Skype for example.

  In your case, I recommend you to disable the webcam and other applications such as MS messenger or Skype software in MSCONFIG-> startup.
  Then clean the BONES and the registry using the CCLeaner.

  I also recommend the Vista update to the last State. All fixes and patches must be installed!

  Finally if you want to use the webcam then you could start the software manually.
  Exe file must be placed in Camera Assistant Software.

  Best regards

  There are several threads about this on this forum and other boards of Directors through Google, not only related to this model, well than many other Toshibas. Is there a fix of Toshiba? As the problem seems so widespread there should be.

  I use XP Pro. I've updated the BIOS and the software of the webcam without solving the problem.

  Thanks in advance.

• Satellite A300 - driver Open Webcam fail

  Hello

  I'm Dr. Ahmed Maher, and I have a problem with my Toshiba laptop. This is the Satellite A300

  The problem is in my webcam. When I try to use the webcam, a message of "driver webcam open fail.please restart the computer or the cam.
  I downloaded the driver from the toshiba site. I reinstalled the driver but the same message appeared. I had updated the BIOS. The same problem. I did a cover for my laptop using the recovery DVD. Not at all, the same problem

  Please help me solve this problem
  Thank you for the care
  Dr. Ahmed

  Hi Dr. Ahmed,

  If your webcam doesn't work after installing Windows Toshiba Recovery disk I think that it s related to the defective material. I mean you have ever tried to update the BIOS and the driver of the webcam but that s all you can do.

  So I would recommend contacting your local authorized service provider people. I think they can help you can exchange the webcam if it of necessary.

• Satellite L300 - driver Open Webcam fail on Windows XP

  I know this is a common problem, I've been on this forum for days and found no solution. I have a satellite L300 PSLB8E, I lowered from VISTA to windows XP. I downloaded the drivers from your Web site, camera Assistant, but he says failure of webcam driver restart the computer or camera. That never solved the problem. Are there 2 different drivers, given that your site has only one, IE one for the camera and the other for the software? I have uninstalled, reinstalled, deleted the driver control panel, reinstalled, nothing works.

  Someone please end my misery by giving a clear answer to this question and many others.

  Thank you

• Satellite A200-1BQ - BIOS update failed

  Hello everyone

  I update the BIOS of my laptop and something went wrong: () now my laptop does not turn on the screen.

  I went to see on the web about Cree Bios recover. I created my floppy drive and I am using a USB drive connected to the USB port on the right below.

  When I click FN + B laptop computer goes into mode of recovery and is 40 seconds for the disc I wait 10 minutes turn off the laptop and nothing (still dead: ())
  I downloaded the bios.wph tohsiba site for this laptop.

  The laptop is a: Satellite A200-1BQ. Part number: PSAECE-01V011PT

  Please help me... the phone reads the disk but then does nothing... must be something failed... have used the phlash.ini but do not...
  Thank you very much

  Hi fear_angel,

  Well, I think in this case you can do anything and I would not try this BIOS recovery program. There is no formal way and you could destroy most or the entire module ROM.

  You must contact an authorized assistance service provider. Technicians can try to reflash the ROM module I'm sure they will help you as much as possible.

  Good luck! :)

• Can I use the ATI on my Satellite A200 driver?

  Hello all, dear Toshiba

  I want to update the driver for the graphics card ATI Radeon HD 2600 in my Satellite A200-PQ notebook, I'm having some problems with effecs Nik HDR pro Photoshop 4.0.

  However the driver I find here, it's 2008, the one I have already.
  ATI offers a newer driver but explicitly do not recommend it for Toshiba laptops.

  So, can someone tell me if there is no serious problem with the last - or at least one driver more recent-of ATI on my laptop?

  Help is greatly appreciated

  Nissrine

  Hi Libertion

  The point is that these ATI drivers don t support protection against overheating.
  Drivers Toshiba support GPU overheating protection and control the GPU heat dissipation.

  If you want you can install the ATI driver but the use of these drivers is at your own risk.

• Satellite A200-110: Chicony webcam locked by another application integrated

  Hello

  First of all, it would be interesting to know if you are using the OS preinstalled Toshiba.
  Second, you must check the status of the USB controller in Device Manager.

  I recommend you to unplug all external USB devices to the laptop.
  Delete all the USB root hubs and Device Manager USB host controllers.
  Then restart the laptop and wait until Windows will reinstall all USB ports again.
  Then you can plug in a USB mouse or USB again.

• Re: Satellite A200 - drive recovery gives blue screen

  It makes me crazy.
  I have two laptop A200 which were granted to the staff. They left and laptops have been completely OK.

  Before I have the laptops to new staff I format and reinstall the operating system and software. Simple I thought, I've got the recovery DVDs. I rebooted with the DVD into a party to the process, everything seems to be fine. It restarts in windows enter the first screen of XP of windows with green dots below. I have a very quick flash of a blue screen and restarting the laptop, then continues with the quick blue screen through.
  This happens on the two A200 I have.

  If I try to load windows XP from our copy of the retail windows, he always says that no records can be detected. Again, it happens on both. I hear say you, it's the hard drive. Well, it's not the hard drive. I removed the disc placed in another laptop and a windows PC and it works as it should, it's two hard drives. With hard drives in laptops original A200 I can install Linux (unbuntu) without any error. I run disk check that everything is OK.
  Toshiba says it's a virus! Seems to be the answer to everything, that they can't solve by phone!

  I love the laptops of the thesis, they have been very good for us here, would like to get them running again. They have two years out of warranty.
  The version of the BIOS is 5.20
  Any help would be great

  Hello

  It's a little difficult to say what happens to your laptop, but if I have problems installing, I erase hard drive with a bootable cd of Acronis support, Acronis drive Cleanser

  http://www.Acronis.com/enterprise/products/DriveCleanser/index.html

  or East-Tec DisposeSecure

  http://www.East-Tec.com/download/index.htm

  These programs are shareware and need to be enabled in order to make a bootable media.

  I erase a hard drive, then install the original copy of Windows for my clients. If they have problems with ODD, I make a bootable USB key (if the Bios supports) or higher Lan installation. By the way, have you tried to install from a bootable USB key.

  Talk about viruses, it can also take place the cloth of hard drive is recommended. In our service, we answer also like this phone as say the guys at Toshiba. Believe me, it's not easy to solve problems over the phone, the problem is that many customers cannot adequately describe the malfunction!

• Satellite A300-1FP - webcam Chicony Win 7 64 bit - driver open failed

  Greetings

  I recently did a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit on my Toshiba Satellite A300 1FP. I was surprised how well it went. The only thing missing was a Windows 7 for a Chicony Webcam driver. A number of people on these forums have suggested the use of 64 bit Vista driver. I tried several times to do this work. I deleted the entry of startup, deleted and resinstalled the driver from Device Manager, etc. Everything I found on these forums that I have tried.

  None of this works. I keep getting the error message "failure of the Webcam driver open. Please restart camera or computer. »

  Even with the 'camera' Wizard the Chicony camera is really terrible. A I know before I bought the machine, I would have chosen otherwise. Too late now. Without the wizard, you only have the driver supplied with Windows 7 that allows you to use the camera, but unless you have quality Hollywood light video is so dark it is almost unusable. The "camera assistant" had at least one dose of reminder for darker rooms.

  I don't know why Toshiba never used this device in the first place.
  There are a lot of people with this same exact problem seeking help in the forums for their system.

  If anyone knows how to handle this I'd appreciate it really your. Toshiba, if you listen, what were you thinking?
