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 '.

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.

    The installation file forthis training device is missing a necessary entry. Maybe it's because the file INF was written for Windows 95 or later. Contact your hardware vendor.

  • 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 L850 - Bluetooth does not work after upgrade to Windows 10

    After the upgrade of the W10, BT did not work so I updated the drivers Atheros AR3012 version 10.0.1.1

    It still does not work. My phone can see the laptop on BT, but says that he cannot communicate with him.

    The laptop does not tosee phone & Yes the phone is discoverable. My BT headset can not be seen now by phone.
    All this worked fine with W7

    My laptop is Satellite L850 (PSKDLE)
    Any ideas?

    Hello

    In most cases, BT does not work due to lack of BT software.
    I guess you will need to install the filter for the BT driver package.

    In most cases the 8 Win / filter package 8.1 Bluetooth driver should work under Win 10... Then try to install the Atheros Bluetooth driver filter package and check to see if you will be able to activate BT
