• Satellite A200-J01: problems with Chicony webcam with Yahoo messenger and MSN

  Dear friends

  I just bought a Satellite A200-J01 with Windows Vista Edition Home Premium pre-installed on it. My problem is when I want to use my webcam (Chicony USB built-in 2.00) to have a video call with MSN and Yahoo messenger Internet, suddenly, it stops working and it shows a message that the webcam is not connected and no webcam was found on your computer.

  And then when I log out Yahoo messenger, come out of her and run Camera Assistant Software it shows this message "Locked by another application" Although there is no other applications running.

  The problem remains, unless I restart the computer. I read all the topics and messages as in my case in this site, but none of them helped me. I want to know if someone has encountered this problem, if this chicony webcam is compatible with yahoo and msn messenger and finally what I can do about it.

  Hello

  What about software chicory and the driver update?
  Please check if the software most recent is available and has been released. If so, remove it the old an and after reboot the new install the most recent version of this software chicony.

  It seems that similar problems appear on laptops from different manufacturers that use the Chicony webcam.
  Everything looks like the chicony Vista software is not 100% compatible with MSN, yahoo Messenger, Skype etc programs.

• Satellite A200 - Webcam disconnected message 'unknown device '.

  My integrated webcam has stopped working. I downloaded and installed the latest driver available (Chicony 1.7.115.0213) but still does not work the camera. When I run the software assistant camera it tells me that the camera is disconnected. On the other hand, there is a notice from Windows telling me that there is an unknown USB device (Port_ #0001.Hub_ #0002) which I suppose is the camera. I tried Googling the issue or search in this forum but I have no answer. I would be really grateful if anyone can help me find a solution. Just in case, here is my PC details:

  Satellite A200-1DY
  Intel® Core 2 Duo
  Code: PSAE3E-01F00GSP
  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium
  Service Pack 2
  32 bit

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  > On the other hand there is a notice from Windows telling me that there is an unknown USB device (Port_ #0001.Hub_ #0002) which I suppose is the camera

  Yes, it could be the internal webcam.
  Seems that the driver has not been installed correctly.
  What to say; first remove the old webcam software from the system.
  Then clean the operating system using a tool like CCLeaner, for example.
  After that, go into Device Manager and remove the unknown device.
  Restart the unit.
  Reinstall the webcam software and check if the device has been recognized again.

  Hello

  At first was a little bit the theory for a better understanding.

  In the latest Toshiba delivered recovery facilities DVD discs with all the new models of laptops. "" Since then, I think, two or three drives of years facilities are not part of the package and recovery image is saved on the HARD disk and the recovery disc can be created using preinstalled "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator. This recovery image is not saved on a separate recovery partition but on the second partition of HARD drive (data partition E) in the folder called HDDRecovery.
  The screenshot on 1.5 GB WinRE partition has therefore nothing to do with the Toshiba recovery image.

  This creation of recovery operation may work with the factory only settings. with other words, if you change the partition structure, or if you deleted this folder HDDRecovery you won't be able to create the recovery disk or install the operating system using HARD drive recovery option.

  I guess that you do not have this folder HDDRecovery more and because of this, Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator starts with error message. This tool needs direct access to these data recovery to create the drive recovery facilities.

  I think all this bother you much, but it's your fault. Reminder with the trace message is preinstalled on each Toshiba notebook with HDD recovery:
  * Important INFORMATION *.

  * your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need to repair your computer in the restaurant to the original factory condition, you can do it directly *.
  * from the HDD (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer" and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a bootable recovery for this fin.* drive carrier

  * Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium using the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' to ensure that you are able to restore your computer to the original state that is installed at the factory, even if your computer is severely damaged.*

  What you can do now is to order the new original facilities Toshiba drive under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx or you can use the Microsoft installation for the installation of the OS disc. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can download at Toshiba page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com for assistance

  If you have any other questions please let us know.

  Bye and good luck.

• Collection with Satellite A200 series problem

  Hello

  I had problems at the start of Windows Vista. It does not run in any mode. When I try to recover (by pressing '0' to the screen, that nothing is happening).
  I used my recovery disks to restore the operating system. They run for awhile, and then a white screen comes up and it stops. Then I get PXE: memory, disk failure check cable.

  Finally, with some trial and error I could finally launch the recovery disks, when I try to recover with the factory settings it will stop with disc 2 does not end copy the files. Then I had to recover without recovery partition. After finishing, I found that it loaded Windows XP not Windows Vista. Where did Windows Vista go and how can get it back.

  Please someone help me with this problem.

  Thank you

  Hmmm... What Satellite A200 do you have exactly?

• Satellite A200: Charging problem

  I have Toshiba Satellite A200 and recently I got some software with charging problems :(

  When the battery is on 96-99% it does not start when I plug the charging cable (and says that the battery is at 100%).
  If it is less than 96%, it starts to load, but it remains too long on 99% than before :(

  Anyone who is familiar is what I need to do to start to load even if it is about 97% (for example :))?)

  Have not observed this behavior management, but I can also say, that percentage is longer on 99 and then on others. Why, I don't know.
  And I didn't look if he is in charge of 96, above or below.

  I think it's normal and wouldn't call it a problem.

• Satellite A200-1FL: problem installing Bluetooth on Windows 7

  Hello world

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 1FL (PSAE6E) with Windows Vista and I just installed Windows 7 32 bit (no update or upgrade).

  The problem is that when I try to install the bluetooth stack, it installs all ok, but the driver.
  I took the version 7.10.12 for Windows 7 32 bit from http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/?page=download.

  The driver installation window presents itself and the progress bar does not move.
  I waited for a long time and nothing, no response, so I have to cancel.

  However, the software has been installed and when I try to start Bluetooth config or any other tool, the same phenomenon occurs: the driver installation window shows upward and nothing.

  Also, I tried to follow the installation instructions of command since the drivers toshiba download page guess what drivers are each options.

  Can someone knows why this phenomenon occurs?
  Am I missing something or is there a known issue with the Bluetooth in Windows 7 driver?

  Thanks in advance,

  Jorge

  Hello

  On my A500 during installation Bluetooth driver, he invites me to activate the Wlan switch. I don't know if A200 is equipped with WiFi switch. If this is the case, turn it on and try to install. I have more no other suggestion.

• Satellite A200-25Z: problem with display driver

  Hello

  I am trying to install WIN XP on an A200 25Z. In the beginning, everything seemed to work fine, but now I constantly receive a blue screen before loading xp building saying something like memory issue on pilot ati2mtag.dll

  Sometimes it starts but then when I have to restart the next time it starts again...

  I reinstalled xp now several times, extend the bios to version xp but still the problem remains the same.

  Anyone else had a similar experience like this?

  Best

  > The problem is now, as a first step, that it seemed to work. But about two weeks later after I installed a game that at the next restart came with a blue screen. The game itself was no problem. Just on the next reboot. And since then all I try doesn't really help.

  It seems that the error with you graphic driver appears only after the installation of the game. To me, this looks like a compatibility issue with the graphics driver and the game installed.

  I noticed that some other series of laptops use the same Mobility Radeon X 2600 graphics card.
  So try to use the ATI page European Toshiba driver graphics driver:

  Satego P200 PSPBBE
  Equium A200 PSAE8E
  PSAENE satellite A210
  Satellite A200 PSAE6E
  Satellite A210 PSAELE

• Satellite A200-1YO - problems installing Windows XP Home edition

  Hi guys,.

  First of all I'm new here so Hello to everyone here and I hope you can help me with my problems of software.

  I recently bought a laptop model Toshiba Satellite A200-1YO provided with windows vista (which must be frank, pants and IMO too demanding for the machine) and I have a problem with vista, because some of its features do not seem to work, for example, I'm having a lot of trouble getting some of the webpages to open now, they simply hang out.

  now, I didn't install windows xp but I don't have an external floppy drive. This is not a problem but because I can use Nlite to integrate the drivers in a new ISO of Windows XP.

  The problem is that I have 4 sets of drivers: ICH7M_32bit, ICH7M_64bit, ICH8M_32bit and ICH8M_64bit. As I install Windows XP 32-bit while I'm more or less some that I have not need 64-bit drivers but when I install Windows XP by using the modified version of windows xp slipstreamed, what I get at startup is a BSD error telling me that something has crashed on my hard drive , however I can't say which crashed as the screen disappears after 15 seconds if that so I guess there is something wrong with the drivers I use (though I must admit that I'm not sure the drivers 32-bit to use)

  advice and assistance regarding being able to install windows xp would be welcome, as I said above, however, I can only use Nlite since I do not have a usb floppy drive.

  Satellite A200-1YO has a chip with the ICH8M southbridge Intel GM965.

  So you need the driver for SATA ICH8M_32bit.

• Satellite A200 - STARTING problems, freezes on the connection of the power adapter

  My 3 YO A200 (PSAF3A-08202D has developed a problem with starting.
  I can start on battery power with WINDOWS VISTA BUSINESS (after 10 attempts, but freezes immediately when the power adapter is plugged in.)
  Display sometimes boots wide-screen, but mostly freezes before windows welcome.

  When running, the battery produces about 1 to 2 hours before a complete evacuation.
  When executing a battery, computer freezes when I plug Charger AC/DC immediately and going with my A100 charger as an alternative.

  Initial problem was a faulty hard drive and super hot air flow due to fluff the cooling block fan.
  Tech replaced original 120G HDD with 500 G and reloaded at the factory. works well for 3 months, then started with the same problems so conclude original disk HARD was just a secondary issue.

  So maybe fixed I overheated components on the motherboard. Reset of data cards initially fixed a problem starting but is gradually degraded.

  Reading through the forums seems that there is a huge amount of these laptops with similar issues. Is this a design flaw, like my other Satellite A100 is solid as a rock. All forums, which suggests resetting the cpu is running slow or be disconnected seem to be temporary repairs. Boot in safe mode and reset the default settings have no effect.

  A suggestion that a capacitor is at fault seems to be the fix is valid but which involves specialized tools is not available locally. Local agent of Harvey Norman for Toshiba are best part of unnecessary because they can send in Australia from Toshiba. Machine has been close to $2000 and is now worth Zip.

  I am unable to do anything with this machine, as all the ways of upgrading or resetting calls for AC power available and running.

  I'm about to do radical things and hope that this forum can enlighten us.

  Hi Mickaël

  You might be right. It seems that the motherboard is affected.
  Don't know why but higher temperature can still affect the internal parts.
  The temperature may increase if cooling fans n t working correctly. For example dust or debris leads to a higher temperature because cooling air cannot circulate properly.

  I have to clean my laptop's cooling grilles from time to time using a jet of compressed air. This allows to keep the temperature at the lower level.
  Of course the internal temperature is not always a reason for portable computers hardware malfunction equipment can begin to malfunction as always in an other products too: TVs, cars, game consoles

  I bought an extended warranty for my laptop, also for my LCD TV mercy always if a high-end product begin to malfunction and in the case of a warranty claim, the fault can be fixed free of charge.

• Satellite A200 motherboard problem

  Hi guys, as the title would have a problem with a motherboard on a computer laptop toshiba A200-1QN, trace is that ILHAM - 3481P rev 2.0. The problem is starting, the laptop turns on but does not even gets the boot, the power indicator remains lit, but the indoor fan does not turn, the screen remains black. I already did a redesign of the chip with no result.

  Thanks in advance ;)

  On this virtual path, it is not easy to tell what the problem may be, but somehow I think there may be a problem with the BIOS chip.

  What have you done these days with your laptop? Update the BIOS maybe?

• Re: Satellite A200 - Webcam software does nothing

  I'm not sure what the problem is but earlier I realized that my Chicony webcam does not work, or rather I did not know how get it to the top and running and where I hid (up, down or sideways).

  Then, about two weeks ago or if all of a sudden, it appeared from nowhere and I was very relieved. Now I'm trying to find it again I can't find anywhere even if it doesn't work when I go into Skype. When I run the "Camera Assistant Software", it seems to do nothing at all.

  Could someone please!

  Hello

  If nothing happens if you start the webcam software, you should try to reinstall the complete webcam software. It's pretty easy, because you can download it on the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  But before installing the new version, you must delete the old first and then reboot the laptop. Now, you can install the latest version.

  In addition, it would be interesting to know if you can see yellow exclamation in Device Manager.

  Good luck! :)
