Satellite A305-S6905 and Web Cam questions

I apologize if there's another thread for this particular model and the question, I'm just extremely frustrated and after hundreds of searches through google, toshiba and chicony, I can't find a solution. My laptop {Toshiba Satellite A305-S6905} was originally Vista when buying. My uncle put upgraded to Windows 7 and in addition to the fact that he constantly tells me that "this copy of Windows is not genuine", my web cam suddenly stopped working. It worked fine on Vista.

I uninstalled camera Assistance and reinstalled more than 8 times. I * think * I reinstalled the driver, but whenever I open (or try to open) helps the camera, I get the message: "Webcam is disabled or has failed." Please check your webcam settings '. I opened the Device Manager, but the Chicony webcam is not listed. Nothing about the webcam is listed. I restarted my laptop... believe me, I almost tried everything. I noticed that a lot of upgraders from Vista to Windows 7 have the same problem. Last resort, I decided to come on the website of the manufacturer of my laptop. I would appreciate help.

Thank you in advance.

Hello

If there is no entry in the Device Manager, it's quite strange. If the device works properly it is listed under imaging devices like Chicony camera.
Somehow, it seems that there is no link between the cam and the motherboard.

All you can do now is to test the functionality with the settings and see if the problem persists.
If the situation will be the same, you should contact the closest service and leave technician to check the cam feature.

  • Deactivation of the multimedia keys on Satellite A305-S6905

    I'm hoping to find a way to disable multimedia keys (touch keys at the top) on your laptop Satellite A305-S6905.

    The problem is that I teach computer for the visually impaired (blind) skills. I have a student who has this laptop, and we had a continuous problem she can't feel the keys and is accidentally pressed the mute button, turn off the sound when it turns on or off the laptop. His must be on so that its capable of reading software screen can read the screen to it. No noise, it cannot use the laptop.

    But also with the sound off it cannot go to the desktop and turn on the sound because she can't hear where he is. Because the touch buttons are flush with the Board of Directors, she cannot feel that key is to turn the sound back on. We have tried to place a marker press the mute, but under much and would not allow the button to work.

    So, anyone got a way to turn them off?

    Thank you

  • I want to install Win XP on Satellite A305-S6905

    Hello.

    I want to downgrade my Vista to XP because of problems and slow down my PC...
    For example I can't download updates antivirus, games etc...

    I read in the forum that I need some kind of sata drivers and those I can do myself, but someone can help me with other drivers because I use this laptop for an hour and I know not what drivers there need.

    If someone could give me links to the necessary software, I would be very grateful.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I think that you couldn't find the right drivers XP because you didn t find on the right-hand page.
    Like you probably n t know that this series of laptop (Satellite A305) belongs to Toshiba from US and you have to find good drivers on Toshiba U.S. page!
    http://www.toshibadirect.com/TD/B2C/home.to

    In addition, if you want to install Win XP on laptop thin, you will need to install the SATA drivers first.
    The SATA drivers are on Intel Storage Manager part which can be downloaded from the Intel and Toshiba page page as well.

    But if you don t want to install SATA drivers, there is another possibility to install the XP.
    Just access the BIOS and set the compatible SATA to AHCI mode.

    That s it.

    3. the quantity of RAM max supported Satellite L500D? I installed 2GB and I have an extra plug and I want to install a single 4 GB RAM and 6 GB RAM total

    Its sounds good to you this idea? I thank you and have a nice day

    Hey,.

    As you can see on the underside of the laptop doesn t supports a second HDD because there is no second Bay HARD drive on the underside.
    The map you posted is unofficial so no one can say whether it compatible s part or not. For laptops Satellite AFAIK there is no CD/DVD Bay adapter, but you can ask a provider of service authorized for more details.

    The maximum RAM capacity depends on your phone model correct. L500D was delivered with different hardware, so you must post your exact model laptop number.

    Double-click Control Panel / Device Manager - Imaging - writing down of the brand and model of camera.
    on this subject and on the tab of the driver is version. Now, click on update drivers (who are unable to do anything as MS
    is far behind the pilots of certification). RIGHT click on the camera - UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it
    will update the driver stack.

    Now, go to the system manufacturer's website and download the latest driver for the camera and the other related camera
    software (if not more recent get the same).

    Just you'd go to Toshiba Support and get the driver for your model laptop.

    I have a satellite A500 / 01 K running under Windows 7 64-bit. I get an error when I try to use my webcam; "Application has failed to start because the side-by-side configuration is incorrect." I tried updating the driver through the Device Manager, and I tried redownloading and installing the application on the Toshiba site, nothing helps.

    Hi balooneybob,

    You get this error message if you want to use your webcam with webcam application or another program like Skype example?

    The webcam is listed correctly in the Device Manager?

    Before using the webcam with Skype or another messenger I recommend to close the Toshiba webcam software. You can only use the webcam with a program only at the same time.

    My first Toshiba laptop and my first post here.

    This is the Satellite U500-17f, Windows 7 Home premium x 64

    I have a problem with nvidia powermizer, nvidia g210m gpu does not go to 3d in 2d clocks or low power on battery and plugged in.
    The result is that the battery life is shorter than 1 hour, and the laptop is hotter.
