• Satellite A300/A300D blocks when I play the game

  Hello from Croatia and I'm sorry if spelling has some errors

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300/A300D
  Here are its features:
  Processor:
  Turion (tm) X 2 AMD Dual - Core Mobile RM-74 (2 CPUs), ~ 2.2 GHz
  Video card:
  ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 graphics card
  Operating system:
  Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_gdr.100226 - 1909)

  When I bought the laptop I had Windows Vista 32-bit, after I put Windows 7 32-bit

  After a while the games have begun to block, even the call of duty 2, I play 5 minutes, and then after 5 minutes to block the departure of about 5-6 seconds and then is good and if all the minutes. I don't know what to do and ask for help

  Thank you

  It is not easy to say what the problem is here. I imagine that some background processes are active and the HARD disk must be busy then you will see that the game crashes or stutters.

  It may be an antivirus application that scans the HARD drive or something similar.
  Have you tried to unplug the laptop from the LAN/WLAN, close all the race but not need process/applications and switch to high performance power plan before you start your game?

  Please play with all this stuff. I mean that Win7 works better on these books like Vista so I think it must be a software related issue somehow.

• 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...

  Is a Chicony Webcam, built inside the computer. Has suddenly stopped working. The following error message appears: "webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or system. "

  I wonder what I have to do to return to 'recover' my webcam.

  Thanks in advance.

• Satellite A300-1NO - webcam does not work, but the LED lights

  Hello!

  I have a laptop Satellite A300-1NO, with Win 7 installed. My problem is that my webcam does not work always, when I want to use it. Sometimes, it works perfectly in Skype, WLM etc... but sometimes I see a white or a black screen with a 'loading circle' in there. Blue is the LED light, I can see it in Device Manager too, but there is no picture, just 'loading '. I tried to uninstall the driver and then reinstall it, I installed the new "camera Assistant for Toshiba", without success.

  Is there any solution for this?

  > Is there any solution for this?
  I put t think there is solution for this. If I understand you right there is a problem with software pre-installed. It is not easy to say why this is happening.

  I have Satellite A300 too and use it with Win7 32 bit. Webcam works fine all the time.

  One more thing: have you noticed this problem in the first moments after installing Win7 or later?
  Have you installed something that may be the reason for this?

• Satellite A300 - Chicony webcam does not work after upgrade to windows 7

  I'm frustrated so I came here to see if anyone knows a way to help solve this problem.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300, which came with Windows Vista 64 - bit pre-installed. After about a year or two to have the laptop, I decided to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit. In the process, I believe that the driver of my webcam (Chicony usb 2.0 camera) has been eliminated.

  When I go into the Device Manager in the Control Panel, the webcam is not listed; nor is "imaging devices."

  I tried to download the driver manually, but I get an error message "Webcam open fail." Restart the computer or the camera. »

  My computer has registered my webcam as 'unknown device '.

  If anyone knows how to solve this problem, please, I beg you, let me know.

  > My computer has registered my webcam as 'unknown device '.
  > I tried to download the driver manually, but I get an error message "Webcam open fail." Restart the computer or the camera. »

  This means that the the webcam driver is not installed correctly.
  Visit the page of European driver of Toshiba and install the software/driver webcam just for this model of laptop.

  If the installation fails, restart the laptop and the tent.
  This should solve the problem.

• 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?

• Satellite A300-1J1 - webcam freezes

  My built in web camera freezes after 20 seconds of use (even no registration, just to be on) and then takes a few pictures every 10 to 40 seconds. It is never used to freeze so I was wondering maybe I needed to download new software, but I couldn't find anything.
  I checked all the system requirements and they are all filled.

  Help?

  Hello!

  To be honest I m wondering about this question. I have the Satellite A300 too and yesterday all night I used the camera for video calling my friend. I never had a problem and I was surprised of the image quality quite well.

  Regarding your problem, you should try to update the driver for the webcam that you can find on the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > Download Driver

  But before installing the new version, you must remove the old one. Restart the computer and then install the latest version.

  I hope that helps! :)

• 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 - driver webcam and Windows7

  Hello...

  I have Toshiba Satellite A300-146, model No.: PSAJ0E, 1 GB of RAM, Intel Dual core 1.87 processor, chipset Mobile Intel (r) 965 family.

  Now I use Windows7 trial version... I can install all drivers of vista, including the driver of the webcam... I can't open the camera assistant software. If I opened, it says 'Webcam driver open fail. "Please restart camera or computer. However, I can open webcam on yahoo messenger...

  How can I open the software assistant camera...?

  Help me..

  Don't think it's really a problem?
  I doubt that this is because Windows 7 is only a trial version and it is not a version of the end.

  Toshiba is not compatible Windows 7 beta and so you should do a downgrade to Vista or XP. Then your problem should be solved.

  Good luck!

  Hi glava11,

  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.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-276 with integrated webcam.
  The operating system that came when it was purchased windows vista, but lately for some reasons, had to format and then took the time to install win 7 (32-bit).

  But the webcam is not working.
  The program, readers and does not work.
  When I click on to connect to the web a warning appears saying + "driver Open Webcam fail." Restart camera or computer + «...»
  I rebooted, uninstalled and went back to install and does not work!

  Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  It is a typical software problem
  I read a lot of discussion on this error message and in most cases, new installation/update driver does the job!

  Please ensure that you use the latest version of the BIOS.
  Go to the Device Manager, then go to imaging devices.
  You can find the USB video device it's plays.

  This remove from the Device Manager list. Alternatively, you can uninstall the driver
  Restart the device, and then try to install the driver again

  Please make sure you use the latest webcam software... you can choose the published software for Satellite L500 too!

• Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) - hardware problems after I installed win7 ultimate

  Hello and good day,

  I installed win7 ultimate a few days ago, windows was able to recognize most of my material accepts my build of microphone and camera and another component, I'm not sure what it is (Windows Update automatically downloaded the driver of sound and graphics for me).

  My questions are - where you can find the remaining drivers and where can I get the preinstalled Toshiba tools and software? (The site pilot in the support page Toshiba does not include drivers and software)

  Thank you very much
  King Ben Simon

  Hello

  I have the Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) too and installed Win7 Home premium and everything works perfectly.

  Initially, I must say that I do not know where you are looking for the drivers and tools of Toshiba and that all things because utilities are downloadable on support Toshiba & download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

  It is logical that MIC will not work if you have not installed the appropriate driver. Installing drivers only and not using Microsoft update. What you need are the real and tested and not some free drivers of the internet.

  Go to the Toshiba download page and install all the stuff following this order of installations:
  -Win7
  -chipset driver
  -Storage Manager
  -display driver
  -driver sound
  -modem driver
  -utility supervisor
  -infrared
  -patches
  -configfree
  -VAP
  Hardware - toshiba
  Control - HDMI
  -WLAN driver

  Everything works well but lacks some drivers

  Added Vista tips:
  Toshiba - help - working properly
  -Card reader - installed correctly
  -Webcam driver for A500 - tested with Skype - works correctly.
  Driver - Synaptics

• Satellite A300-23F motherboard problem

  Hello!

  I have a Toshiba A300-23F that last week, refuses to turn on.
  The power turned on but when I press the power button it does not illuminate.
  As my warranty has expired, I gave him a technician to find out what the problem is and he informed me that the graphics chip is damaged but so the whole motherboard must be replaced.
  The possibility to give Toshiba to replace my motherboard is not an option, of course, because they require 300-400 for it. I bought the laptop 1000, 2.5 years so it is obvously out of the question.

  However, my problem is that I can't find any card handed to nine or such parent on ebay or other shops. Any suggestions on that?

  Do you think I have all the options to the left or should I go and take a hammer and release my anger on this high level sourrealistic joke manyfactured from Toshiba.

  > However, my problem is that I can't find any card handed to nine or such parent on ebay or other shops. Any suggestions on that?

  You must use a motherboard that specially left for Satellite Pro / Satellite A300 series.
  The new motherboard is really an expensive part. Perhaps you could get a second hand A300 with a card mother work and then you get good mobo.

  But its your own decision, I got a laptop from another manufacturer who died after 3 years of use.
  It was obviously a malfunctioning motherboard :(
  I tried to solve this problem because of the price of the motherboard I sold the laptop died and bought a new
