• Satellite Pro P300 (PSPC5E) - driver Webcam open fail on Windows 7

  I installed the RC of Windows 7 64 bit on my Satellite Pro P300 PSPC5E and I have problems with the configuration of my webcam and microphone.

  I tried to install the Wizard software for the camera, 64-bit (windows vista) to configure the webcam but I get an error message with "Webcam driver open fail. Restart camera or computer.' nor a camera photo or computer restart the job. I get the image in Skype, but I can't change the settings or so (dark) and the microphone is much quieter, so it was on windows XP, it is set to its maximum.

  Is there a solution for this problem? I hope so :)

  Hello

  I think there is no solution for this problem at the moment, because you are using a Release Candidate of Windows 7 and at the moment there is no official driver for Windows 7.

  Have you tried the driver of Windows Vista so that s what you can do. Alternative visit you the Toshiba us page (http://www.csd.toshiba.com) and search for driver of Windows 7 beta. Maybe it works.

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite L300 and WXP - driver Webcam open fail

  Hello

  I just bought a Toshiba Satellite L300 with no OS installed. I managed to install windows XP and all the sounds/videos... drivers successfully, but after installing the driver for the webcam appears an error that says: Webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer.

  I rebooted the computer several times, but it still does not work. Please help me.

  Hi, I'm having a similar problem (see previous thread), you can actually see the webcam in Device Manager? There is also a known issue if it's just the driver, do a search on this forum, it seems to be a common problem.

  Kind regards

• Driver webcam open fail on Satellite A300-1MC

  Whenever I try to start my integrated webcam (Chicony Camera Assistant Software) the message "driver Webcam open fail." Please restart camera or computer. "is displayed on the computer.
  First of all, I do not understand what it means and then I rebooted both the camera and the computer, as well as repair the camera software.

  I looked for updates and drivers, etc., but nothing works. I also read every manual available in search of an answer, but I can t seem to find something that is of no help.
  I was wondering if someone had an answer for me, or tell me what I need to do.

  Hello

  I had the same problem a few weeks ago and I could solve the problem by updating the driver for the webcam on the Toshiba site.
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  So, download the latest version, delete the old and reboot the laptop. Then install the new version.

  I doubt that you were looking for updates for the Toshiba shows a driver for webcam.

  Hi kuhar2007,

  Maybe the authorized service provider forgot to plug in the power cord, but before to contact them again once you try to reinstall the driver for the webcam. You can get the latest version here:

  Normally the webcam should be in Device Manager after that. If this isn't the case, you must contact the ASP again. Explain the problem and they will try to help you. ;)

• Satellite A300 PSAGCA - 02Y010 - error: driver Webcam open failed

  Problem:
  Receive error whenever I try to use the camera for Toshiba support software: Webcam driver open failed. Restart the computer or the camera. Webcam does not work in Skype. It seems that it is a very common problem with the A300s series, but there is no clear solution there.

  Material
  Series: A300
  Model: PSAGCA-02Y010

  Software
  Operating system: Windows 7 64 bit
  Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba: 1.7.175.0123

  Details
  I recently did a clean install of Windows 7, Windows Vista update. I've never used the web cam on Windows Vista, so I can't testify as to whether or not the web camera is workin properly. However, when I tried to use it with Skype, it did not work. I reinstalled the driver that I backed up before I installed the new operating system, but it did not work. The web cam does not appear at all in Device Manager - even when the value for show hidden devices. Trying new material added through the control panel fails to detect the webcam at all. I rebooted after each installation/repair of the driver.

  Measures taken

  Reinstalled drivers saved
  I used the third-party software (Double Driver) to back up and reinstall the drivers for the webcam after I installed Windows 7. Double Driver claimed there was no device to install the driver. Manually, I copied the files in the folder using the camera and replaced existing ones. The files I copied were:
  casflr.cat
  oem34.inf
  Restore.ini
  UVCFTR_S.SYS

  Pilots relocated from site Web from Toshiba
  Vast Goolging turned only recommendations to uninstall and reinstall the drivers. I was unable to find the drivers for windows 7 64 bit, but I tried for my laptop model for Windows Vista 64 - bit - no luck. I tried to install software camera for Toshiba support, as far as I know, including the driver - it gives me the error described above.

  I also tried to find a universal Windows 7 driver for the webcam - I was unable to find one.

  Check the registry value is Correct
  I tried also checked the registry value to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/ControlSet001/Enum/USB/SN001/ClassUID corresponds to the value in C:\Program Files (x 86) \Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba\driver\64bit\casflr.inf as and C:\Program Files (x 86) \Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba\driver\32bit\casflr.inf recommended by some article is recommended.

  Please, I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out here. I've exhausted all the options I can think.

  Probable solution:
  I met a thread post who suggested a loose wire was responsible and that the camera could work when the cover is almost closed. I tried this and the camera suddenly appeared in the Device Manager. However, I still can't make it work with Camera Assistant Software or Skype.

  Does this mean that webcam does not appear in Device Manager if the cover is open right?
  In this case, it seems that there is no link between the webcam and the motherboard.
  As far as I know as the internal cam is connected to the controller card USB mother s and possibly there is a bad connection.

  Possible solution: I think that the technician needs to disassemble the laptop to check the connection :(

• Driver webcam open fail on Satellite A305-S6872

  My problem is the following

  I have a laptop A305-S6872 Satellite with a built-in webcam, I had to restore it with the cd provided with the laptop and I reinstalled the assistant webcam software and thought it was but it keeps saying "driver open webcam fail. Please restart camera or computer.

  Does anyone know how to fix this

  Hi mate

  This message might appear because of some problems of compatibility between the software of the webcam and the 3rd party software such as Skype, Live messenger, etc.

  In your case I recommend you remove the software for the webcam of the Setup again.
  Then clean the OS using CCLeaner.
  After that, you could reinstall the webcam software and must clear the webcam software in msconfig--> startup.

  This prevents the software from loading automatically.

• "driver webcam open fail." on Satellite A305-S6844

  The full text of this error is "Webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer. »

  I spent a lot of time looking for online solutions. Many of the solutions proposed seem to be reasonable fixes for my problem, but they do not work. I downloaded the latest patches for Vista (64-bit) and I have the newest driver of the webcam. There are some strange circumstances related to my particular problem I've not seen mentioned elsewhere.

  The webcam doesn't work out of the box.

  On two occasions, inexplicable, the driver for the webcam was found by the wizard new hardware and installed. These two were held after that the computer had sat for a while. The webcam has become functional. On reboot, the error message returned.

  I can't find the camera in the Device Manager. In fact, I find not all imaging devices either. Others who have had similar problems could apparently see something in this category, often an unknown device.

  I downloaded a program called "Driver Detective" and he ran. Surprisingly, he was able to find the driver for the "webcam Chicony USB 2.0". The program argued that the pilot was perfectly aware. He registered the camera under the category 'USB device unplugged', in the same category as my ipod.

  If I need to provide any other information, I can quickly do.

  Thanks for the research!

  Have you tired uninstallation and reinstallation of the camera in Device Manager? To do this, and then restart your computer, it will automatically detect and reinstall the drivers for the camera.

  I suspect that your camera may be at fault but you mentioned previously it installs sometimes while you use the computer. If uninstalling and reinstalling do not work, you may need to take it to a repair centre.

  Hello

  What operating system do you use? Vista? What model of laptop is it?
  If Yes please install the SP1, because it contains a Microsoft patch that solves the problem of the webcam.
  I had a similar problem and the SP1 was the key.

  It is also recommended to remove the old driver/webcam software download a webcam driver from the European driver Toshiba page and reinstall.

• Satellite A300 DVD tray will not open and cause high CPU utilization peaks

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 - 1 MM and I have a problem with the optical drive (Mat * un DVD Ram Uj880as):

  DVD - RAM plateau sometimes refuse to open. The LED lights up briefly, but still nothing. Windows recognize the drive but the plateau of refuses to open. Eject commands the position of work and management of the computer-> disk management will not work. I can open the tray manually but the optical drive will not read any cd/dvd. No error code in return.

  When that happens it cause peaks of high utilization of the processor (from 60 to 100%) in the System Idle Process. Just stop and restart it solve. After that, the laptop also runs fine and the optical drive.

  I replaced Win7 32-bit with a 64-bit version and the problem persist.

  Help, please. Thank you.

  I have the same machine with Win7 32 bit and use several players. Everything works perfectly. On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what may be the problem. The configuration of your laptop is not known to us, and we don t know how you set up your operating system and additional applications are preinstalled.

  Maybe stupid advice now, but you must install recovery image original Vista that you got with the functionality of your laptop and test with the factory settings. If the same problem occurs we can chat about it.

• Re: Satellite A300 - second hard drive

  Hello

  Perhaps some may say where I can buy hard disk for the motherboard conector?
  I have place for HDD and connections on the motherboard, but don't not have hard drive connector.
  Camputer are 1gn A300.

  Help, please!

  Hi Lotus

  Toshiba offers Satellite A300 with one or two hard drives with two different mothers. Plastic cover is the same for both models of laptops and that's why there are two disk HARD covered and placed two HARD drive. Laptops without SATA connectors are not ready for the upgrade.

  No one here in this forum has reported that these updates possible if laptop doesn t have original SATA connector to the second HARD drive, so I think that you cannot upgrade your laptop with the second HARD drive.

  By the way: it's not easy to find these parts.
