  As far as I know that you can also use the Satellite A500 webcam driver because it s equipped of webcam Chicony too.

  So take a look for A500 downloads. There, you can find Windows 7 driver for webcam that should work on your model too.

• Satellite A300-1FP: download a new version of Tempro for Win7

  Greetings

  Having recently done a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit on my Toshiba Satellite A300 1FP, I was wondering if it is possible to download a version of Tempro that could inform me of new driver availability, etc.

  I know, there is a version for Vista 64-bit Tempro, but I guess that it returns only new drivers for this OS.

  I would appreciate any guidance here.

  Thank you

• Re: Satellite A300 (PSAJ4E) - Webcam driver open fail

  I had to replace the hard drive on my PSAJ4E of the A300 and when I reloaded Vista 32 and install all drivers hardware Toshiba everything went well except for a Chicony webcam.

  The side menu is there but it won't work, giving a "driver webcam open fail." "Please restart camera or computer" error.

  I updated the Bios to 4.20
  I first used the original Toshiba, the 20080428125023 webcam driver download (V1.07.175).
  I tried with 'closed the cover 3/4 '.
  I have searched and read dozens of similar problems. I've tried a few, even edit the ini setting. Nothing helps.
  I even tried drivers XP (V1.7.144.0611), 32-bit and 64-bit versions and even a driver from the gateway. Nothing seems to work for this cam.

  What now?

  I also now get "the requested section is not found in the INF file" when I try to uninstall and reinstall the driver through Device Manager.
  I have the choice of
  6.198.1.0
  6.2.208.424
  6.2.238.1217
  all give the same error...

• 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.

• Satellite A300 - constant "Webcam Driver Open Fail' error

  I have searched and looked for solutions to this problem and feel like I've tried everything. Whenever I turn on my laptop or try to start my webcam I get the error "Webcam driver open fail." Please restart camera or computer. »

  I used to be able to use the webcam with no problems, but it just stopped one day of work. I recently reformatted my drive to operate the State out-of-the-box, but it always shows an error whenever I try to use my webcam. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium on an A300 model: PSA - GCA. I also tried updating the driver for the webcam (and the last update of the BIOS) section of the support from Toshiba, but without success. I also tried to use the webcam XP driver, but still no luck.

  Any idea on how to solve this problem?

• 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. » ? +
  + http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/OPT84026F0000R01.htm+

  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.

  > Is it the camera attemtping completely uninstalling then reinstalling?
  Of course!

  You should first go to Device Manager and need to uninstall the driver.
  You must also remove the software from Control Panel-> software

  After that, you must clean the BONES and the registry using CCleaner. It s tool free google
  Then restart the laptop several times and reinstall the webcam software.

  Hello

  I see you are using Vista
  Well, first you must make sure that Vista is up-to-date!
  You used the recovery and that means that Vista needs to be updated to the latest state!
  All the service packs and other patches must be installed.

  Then remove the software of the webcam of the system, clean the base registry (CCleaner, etc.) and after reboot again trying to reinstall the webcam software
