• 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?

  Camera is off and I can't turn it on, by restarting the computer gives no effect.

  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

• 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...

  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!

  Hello

  Before performing a recovery facility, you should try to update the driver for the webcam and the BIOS. The two you can find on the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  If it doesn t work you must run an installation recovery and in the worst case, the hardware may be faulty and you will need assistance from an authorized service provider.
  If your laptop is still under warranty, the repair should be free.
