• Satellite A200 - driver Open Webcam fail

  Hello

  My Satellite A200 recently dead boot disc and I had it replaced. Vista was placed in this framework through restoration SOE from Toshiba. Now the Webcam is not working, it gives the following error when starting the machine:

  "Driver Webcam Fail open. Please restart camera or computer. »

  I tried to install the latest updates of the Chicony driver but still no luck

  also, I found a lot of information through google about problems of registry entry with the installer on this issue. They recommend a rather complicated registry hack to fix it. I want to find an installer that works rather than hack the registry

  can someone advise me? Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Well, if you have already updated the driver for the webcam, I would recommend updated the BIOS too. The latest version is available for download on the Toshiba site. Before you download, compare the model number, if the update supports your laptop!

  If it doesn t work I think there seems to be a hardware malfunction, maybe the webcam cable must be renewed or something else. I think that the best option would be to contact a technician laptop for diagnosis.

• Satellite L300 - driver Open Webcam fail. Restart the computer or the camera

  Hello

  I recently bought a new Satellite L300 under Windows Vista Home Premium SP1. The Webcam worked fine for a few days and then the next time I booted up Vista, I get the following error "Webcam driver open fail, please restart camera or computer. Since the computer is new I reformatted to see if it wasn t a program is blocking something.

  Reformat 2 times and the error still ride on the installation of the Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba. I downloaded the update from Toshiba support file but still the same error. The funny thing is that the Device Manager does not detect even the webcam. There is no registration for the webcam. How will I know that it is a hardware problem? Does anyone have experience with this problem?

  The store that I bought it offered to give me a new, but do not have any in stock, so I have to wait 3 weeks.

  Thank you

  Hello

  The webcam must be listed in the Device Manager. It s not called not webcam but you should find it in the imagery of the devices-> USB video device

  The webcam should work fine. Usually after installing the webcam software, you should find the webcam software in the MSCONFIG-> startup
  If the webcam is listed here then that would mean that the software/driver webcam still load during a laptop boot procedure.

  In some cases there could be a compatibility issue between this software and a 3rd party applications like MS messenger or Skype for example.

  In your case, I recommend you to disable the webcam and other applications such as MS messenger or Skype software in MSCONFIG-> startup.
  Then clean the BONES and the registry using the CCLeaner.

  I also recommend the Vista update to the last State. All fixes and patches must be installed!

  Finally if you want to use the webcam then you could start the software manually.
  Exe file must be placed in Camera Assistant Software.

  Best regards

• Satellite A300 - driver Open Webcam fail

  Hello

  I'm Dr. Ahmed Maher, and I have a problem with my Toshiba laptop. This is the Satellite A300

  The problem is in my webcam. When I try to use the webcam, a message of "driver webcam open fail.please restart the computer or the cam.
  I downloaded the driver from the toshiba site. I reinstalled the driver but the same message appeared. I had updated the BIOS. The same problem. I did a cover for my laptop using the recovery DVD. Not at all, the same problem

  Please help me solve this problem
  Thank you for the care
  Dr. Ahmed

  Hi Dr. Ahmed,

  If your webcam doesn't work after installing Windows Toshiba Recovery disk I think that it s related to the defective material. I mean you have ever tried to update the BIOS and the driver of the webcam but that s all you can do.

  So I would recommend contacting your local authorized service provider people. I think they can help you can exchange the webcam if it of necessary.

• Satellite L300 - driver Open Webcam fail on Windows XP

  I know this is a common problem, I've been on this forum for days and found no solution. I have a satellite L300 PSLB8E, I lowered from VISTA to windows XP. I downloaded the drivers from your Web site, camera Assistant, but he says failure of webcam driver restart the computer or camera. That never solved the problem. Are there 2 different drivers, given that your site has only one, IE one for the camera and the other for the software? I have uninstalled, reinstalled, deleted the driver control panel, reinstalled, nothing works.

  Someone please end my misery by giving a clear answer to this question and many others.

  Thank you

• Satellite U400 - driver Open Webcam fail

  If I try to use the webcam, I get the message: «Webcam driver open fail...» »

  There are several threads about this on this forum and other boards of Directors through Google, not only related to this model, well than many other Toshibas. Is there a fix of Toshiba? As the problem seems so widespread there should be.

  I use XP Pro. I've updated the BIOS and the software of the webcam without solving the problem.

  Thanks in advance.

• Satellite C660 - 1J6 Win7 installation failed - disk HARD disabled controller

  IV received a toshiba satellite c660-1j6.
  The problem is that the hard drive has been deleted (including the back upward). I don't have any of the Toshiba backup disks, but I have new copies of win 7 home prem and xp pro. However when I try to install win7 that I get as far as selecting the installation drive and I click on the drive and I get the message about how windows cannot be installed to this disk please check the drive controller is enabled.

  IV check the BIOS then several times and I can't find anything to do with it apart from the Mode of the SATA controller and which dose nothing.
  The Toshiba tech support when no help at all. so is locked HD or BIOS, and is it possible to unlock them so I can install the o/s?

  IV tested the drive by hooking up a PC desk top and installing windows like that, but as soon as I put the drive in the laptop it comes up with no installed new o/s

  Can anyone give any help... or even indices, iv it for a week now and im going crazy.

  Hello

  HARD drive is not locked. You can install any OS on the HARD drive.
  Usually, the Windows 7 operating system already contains the SATA drivers that are required to see the HARD drive. So it of not necessary to include the SATA drivers while installing Win 7. You said that you have a copy of Windows 7 disc. Is this an original disc for Win 7 complete with functional Microsoft?
  I ve installed several times Win 7 on my Toshiba notebooks and didn t need to use SATA drivers

  In the BIOS, you have found the SATA controller mode. This should be set to AHCI. You can change this pressing SPACE.
  But also the default BIOS settings should do the job.

• Re: Webcam disabled on Satellite A350

  I'm having a problem with my webcam on Toshiba Satellite A350, Win7 Professional 32-bit. The webcam no longer works. Camera software allow me to open camera - keeps saying "Webcam is either disabled or has failed.» Please check your webcam settings '.

  Camera is not listed in the Device Manager to an unknown device.
  I used to use the camera without problems (rarely, but), and found out that now it doesn't work anymore.

  Any ideas?

  It is not easy to say what the problem is here.
  You don t all that may be responsible for this problem?

  What you can try is first to roll back the OS to an earlier time just to see if something will change.
  Otherwise, try to reinstall the webcam software. You can download it on the Toshiba support page.

• Chicony webcame is not working on the Satellite A350-12j and Win 7 64 bit

  Hello

  The chicony webcam does not work on my toshiba Satellite A350-12j and windows 7 64 bit...

  I always get different errors as
  "graphics make it fail."
  "the device is locked by another program.
  etc...

  I tried many things and watch them on a lot of messages, but nothing does. I installed a lot of drivers and programs to solve, but nothing works.
  at first the camera was ok but now nothing seems to help and the camera is broken...

  Can you help me??

  Thank you!

  > seen as 1 million messages like mine and not even 1 right answer on how to solve it!
  I guess you didn't read all these messages correctly

  The user Symbian wrote that her webcam works fine! He used the software/driver for the Toshiba page as well

  Since the Skype reports an unknown error too, I guess that this whole thing has noting to do with the webcam software, but with your Windows 7 installed!

  Seems a registry keys, files or all what it might be, are confused upward!
  In your case, I would try a new installation! Install Win 7 and the Toshiba drivers/software.
  Then test the webcam.

  Don t install any 3rd party software before you would test the webcam!

• Error webcam not connected Satellite A350

  Hello, bought a new monthe Satellite A350 and cannot use the webcam with MSN.

  I tried new drivers Toshiba webcam and webcam not connected message.

  I have also tried to dsintall and install the drivers webcam still not connected.

  Sound with MSN is ok.

  You can try to help me to install the webcam?

  Thank you

  I tested the functionality of MSN with my Satellite A300. Software of FAO assist is to my laptop always OFF and cam works well with MSN. To be honest I have problems with ICQ only. Skype and MSN works fine.

  If it please enter together Audio and video settings and check if the cam is working there.
  In my case the cam is on and under Select webcam there are three possibilities:

  Chicony USB 2.0 default camera
  Chicony USB 2.0 camera
  Disable

  Install the latest version of MSN and try to test it with someone.

• Satellite A350 dead - motherboard, graphics card fail AGAIN

  Hello, this is my second problem with my Toshiba Satellite A350, and, honestly, I don't think I'll buy one of toshibas in the future. Allows from my first problem. I've posted it here: [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=170074#170074 | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=170074#170074] warranty repair gots a month. Yesterday, I turned off my toshiba and today he's dead, I mean that nothing happens after clicking on the button / STOP. Same POWER leads is not brilliant, are not from radiators, nothing happens at all. When I put the provider in notebook power cable, power supply unit led is shining and full-charged battery led shines too - so it is not the power supply problem. I'm pretty sure that it is motherboard crash once again, can someone just confirm that? :)

  I have to send it for repair under warranty once again, but it's clear to me that to happen again and again after any repair until the warranty end - before the first repair, he had a lot of problems with the graphics card - laptop has been hung up for awhile and after that he was communicating Windows 'video driver did not. ", but he got the device again. After repair, it was happening again, not as often as before, but it was, so I think that it is not only motherboard problem.

  I heard that after 3 repairs, I should get a new notebook from Toshiba. Is this true? I think I am done with this :(

  Hello

  I'm so sorry to hear you have these problems with this laptop nice Mr. I have same Satellite A300 and I am happy that my works well.
  Anyone here on this virtual path can confirm anything, but according to all the information that you have posted I believe the motherboard is dead. Please contact new service and explain the situation. Sorry, but this is only on the right path for handling in this situation.

  Talk with the service people, ask why this happens and I hope they will have a reasonable explanation. To be honest I ve ever heard talk about this with 3 repairs, but you can talk with service.

  Good luck.

• Built-in microphone for Satellite A350 / 07 h pick up static

  Hi all

  Enough in computer science when it comes to the day-to-day management of a computer, but I'm having big problems with my microphone on my model satellite A350 / 0 H.

  Whenever I try to talk to anyone using Msn, all they can hear is static and a small amount of my voice. I currently the amp microphone 0dbs and it helped a little, but is there anything else I can change levels of?

  I have windows vista 32 bit and really dnt want to buy an external mic!

  Recorded playback of my voice is fundamentally static as well!

  Hello

  To be honest I have never had a problem with the microphone yet so I can't say much on the subject, but in your case I would start with driver updates...
  You need to update the driver for the webcam because the microphone is a part of it and the audio driver. Both can be downloaded here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/ > support & downloads > download drivers

  If it doesn't work you should also update your BIOS. You can find it on the Toshiba site too.

  By the way: the Vista version are you using, is it preinstalled Toshiba or did you do your own installation?

• Satellite A350 - display driver stopped responding and has recovered

  Hi guys

  I'm new to the forum

  My Satellite A350 recovered above this message 3 times and every time I've seen the blue screen.

  I checked my BIOS driver is updated by a check from Microsoft of the driver.

  The thing I did differently is recently I joined a second monitor for the purposes of the study as a form of additional reading... and I wonder if this has caused the pilot to fail and that I shouldn't use it more (or for a short time only?)

  Thanks for the help :)

  Use of the external monitor is not critical, and it is not the reason why this happens. In my opinion, there are some unwanted software.
  Using certain applications requiring a real graphic performance?
  Are you using the original recovery image Toshiba (supplied with the notebook OS)?
  Toshiba display driver is pre-installed on this laptop?

• Satellite A350 does not start

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A350 (about a year and a half) who does not start correctly. This has happened after that the laptop was left on until the battery has failed. The button of the keyboard and the power LED lights up, but the screen stays black when I try to turn it on. I use Windows Vista.

  The machine continues usually to make a sound whirring for a few seconds before it stops making noise (the fan and the HD). The screen flickers sometimes a lighter black on a screen for less than a second. In addition, the cooling fan has sometimes continued to operate after you stop all the rest.

  Another problem is that when if it is turn on and go to the Toshiba screen, odd lines will fade to the screen, and finally the screen eventually white/blue. On the other hand, sometimes it turn on and act as if nothing had happened. In these times, placing sleep mode will be to not be a wheat to turn back on.

  I tried removing the battery, using only the battery, fully charge the battery and using the laptop with barely any load from the battery and it doesn't change anything.

  I would really appreciate any kind of lead as to what may be wrong with the poor.

  Hello

  Generally speaking, it is always difficult to say something on these sometimes mistakes because it s not clear and can be caused by all parties, but at the moment I doubt that this problem is software partner

  You see something on a screen when the internal screen stays black?

  In the worst case, it s that a hardware malfunction and that would mean you need help from an ASP to check what part is affected, but if your laptop is under warranty, the repair is free.
