• Integrated on my Satellite T130 webcam does not work

  Hi all

  the built-in on my Satellite T130 webcam does not work.

  I use Windows 7 Home Premium and already reinstalled the drivers of webcam 64-bit through this Web site. However, when I click on the webcam application, simply, nothing happens - program doesn't open at all or turn off instantly. Skype is not also acknowledge a cam. In addition, there is no webcam in Device Manager (a not detected USB device however) and no symbol of cam in the Ribbon of Toshiba quicklaunch, which is like the camera is started according to the "manual".

  Someone has an idea what is the problem? Looks like a common problem according to Google, but no suggestions other than to reinstall the drivers. Perhaps another application blocking the camera? Firewall settings?

  I'd appreciate any help, thank you.

  Best regards Florian

  > a USB not detected if

  Maybe it's the webcam from the webcam is connected to the internal USB controller on the motherboard.

  It looks like a webcam driver is not installed correctly.
  Try the webcam driver released for the satellite t230 or other series of satellites.
  Versions are newer

  Also recommend that you check the BIOS settings.
  In some cases, the BIOS contains a webcam option where the webcam can be turned on and off.

  My chicony webcam will not work on windows live messenger I want to use it for video chat.

  An error message appears saying 'we couldn't start your camera. Please check that your camera is not currently being used by another program, and then try again. "The camera is not currently in use, as far as I know I have closed camera assistant software and you have disabled the camera at startup.

  Also, I tried using a different logitech webcam, but the computer doesn't seem to recognize it even though I installed the software.

  Any advice?

  I U400 and I use the webcam in the Skype!
  Everything works perfectly.

  If you closed the camera assistant software then the webcam would not work without problems.
  Have you tried to start the webcam software, then MSN?
  Select this check box.

  I also disabled the webcam software in the msconfig-> Startup tab
  This prevents the webcam software to start during windows startup

  In the worst cases, you must remove the software from the webcam of the system and after restarting again, you must reinstall the software again
  Generally, this allows in most cases

  Hi maestro2118,

  Since when did you notice this behavior and what operating system is installed?

  Before install or reinstall a driver, I recommend you to remove the old driver first. Then, restart your computer and run CCleaner to remove old registry keys. A reboot, and you can install latest driver of the webcam of Toshiba page.

• Satellite A660 Wireless does not work: how to turn on the wireless switch?

  Wireless to the new laptop just stopped working. When I press Fn + f8 it says: Wireless Communication is disabled. Please activate the Wireless Communication switch.

  I tried to disable and enable wireless, update (Realtek PCie FE family controller) and Broadcom 802.11n network adapter driver and load the default settings in the Bios but nothing has worked. The button on the top panel wireless is turned on and when I press the button, a window called support thoshiba button jump upward and said: the key has not been configured. But this happens to other laptops also (we have 8 portable type, even), it cannot use the wifi. What can I do now?

  Hello

  Please reinstall the Wlana driver and try again. (Do not to update to uninstall the old driver, restart the device and install the new drivers)
  In most cases these disorders Wlan is displayed if the WiFi driver does not work correctly.
  Given that all other laptops are ok, I think that it is a temporal matter in the registry or something like that

  PS: It is possible that the FN buttons do not work corectly. Therefore, you can reinstall the VAP (value added package) and support of card Flash Utility so in order to reconfigure the FN keys.

• Series of satellites U Webcam does not work

  Hello

  I just got a new laptop and my webcam is not working. On msn web messenger it says that its going to work on another program, even if I turn the laptop and the new.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  I think it would be quite knows more information and details about your question.
  For example, it would be very useful to know what model of laptop do you have and what OS do you have installed.

  PS: If you are using Vista, then a SP1 is required for these internal webcams work bad free as part of the 3rd apps like MS messenger or Skype.

• Satellite A660 - screen does not work

  I have a Satellite A660 and when not hooked to an external monitor or TV, the laptop screen is white and you can't use it.
  The only way I can use the laptop and being able to see the screen is if I connect the laptop to the TV via a HDMI cable and use it like that.
  The laptop is less then 6 months and is rarely taken at our office in our office.

  I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem or knows what it can be.

  If this is not the case, how I had to do to someone qualified by toshiba for have a look that would be a problem of guarantee being under 6 months old.

  Thank you in advance for any help anyone can provide.

  > I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem or knows what it can be.

  Have you tried to use the FN + F5 to switch between the internal and external screen?
  Try this.

  If that does not help, then I would recommend contact the ASP in your country, because security must still be valid (as you posted it above).
  I think that the internal display is faulty, because the output of the video work, which means that this graphics card should be ok.

• Satellite P205: Touchpad does not work when the new adapter is connected

  I got a replacement charger for my Satellite P205 but put it has A 4.19 instead of 3. 95 has, they said that it didn't matter, but since I use the charger, I have the following problems:

  -Does not load properly and turns off after an hour.
  -The touchpad has a mind of its own when the charger is connected (windows opens if hovering over button, through the screan jumps when I try to move it, freezes and disappears)
  -Charger Word to say the laptop plugged in but not charging

  What can I do to remedy these problems, the laptop works perfectly when the charger is not plugged in?

  See you soon!

  Hello

  I guess that the touchpad worked correctly in the past with the former sector adapter.
  Is this good?

  Well, it seems that these questions are related to the new power adapter and I would recommend using a 100% compatible adapter.

  Check the AC adapter s old part number and if the issues could be resolved using this adapter.

• Satellite A30 161 does not work when the battery is installed

  Hello

  I have a problem with my Satellite A30-161. The laptop works perfectly without the battery installed. With the battery installed and the AC adapter plugged the power supply and battery (light orange) are turned on.

  When turn on/off, as soon as WXP loaded the battery light turns off and the laptop turns off. With battery only laptop does not start. There is no dirt on the heat sink and it doesn't seem to be a problem with the connector DC and power lights still on.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  This behavior is not easy to give an accurate diagnosis, but according to your description, I assume that there is a problem of electronic power supply. Just using special diagnostic tool, it is possible to check if there is a problem serious.

  To be honest, I don't think you can do it alone. The only thing you can try is to test it with new battery. Maybe you should contact the service authorized in your country. talk with them and you will see what they say.

• Satellite L755 - Webcam does not work - interactive Windows station

  Dear community of Toshiba,

  I have a Toshiba L755 series. I was able to use the webcam with Skype. When running Skype recently, I was surprised to see that the camera could not be found.
  I went to the Device Manager to see what might be the problem, and there I saw everything 'imaging devices', as if the camera equipment did not exist originally.

  I tried and then searching for the hardware changes. New hardware has been found, but then try to install the driver, I get a message saying that:
  + Windows encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device. +
  + Error trying to install it and Windows found driver software for your device but he bumped. +
  + This operation requires an interactive window station. +

  Note that the device is recognized as: TOSHIBA Web Camera MP.
  I tried searching online for this find of t pilot but just could not.
  I also tried to download and install the driver from Toshiba support, but once again, still does not.

  Help, please.

  Thank you

  Hello

  On the European driver Toshiba page, you can find the webcam driver v2.0.0.19 and v2.0.0.13.

  Have you tried both?

  Usually the software of webcam located in the control panel-> software
  Uninstall the webcam software it and reboot the laptop.
  Now, you should clean the registry because each installation leaves other securities in the register that I can recommend a tool its freeware CCleaner and cleans the system very well

  After cleaning the registry, restart the system and try to install the webcam driver v2.0.0.19

  Good luck

• Satellite L300 - webcam does not work after BIOS update

  I've recently updated the BIOS to 2.2, and the webcam has stopped working. He disappeared, and there is an unknown device in Device Manager in USB bus controller.

  I've tried everything, even with the new Vista OS pure but nothing as there is no webcam I have installed the drivers but not recognised so I would like if I can get the BIOS to 1.5 and fix the webcam. If I can cos I need. Is this possible?
  TNX

  Hello

  I put t think its BIOS problem.
  First the unknown device (webcam) appears in the Device Manager and it means that a device has been recognized by the system and the BIOS.
  The only reason why its listed as unknown devices is: the driver is not installed correctly.

  After update BIOS, you have to put back the BIOS to default. Access BIOS by pressing F2 and in the BIOS, you can use the button to default to F9 and F10 to save the changes.

  After that you should start the machine and need to go to Device Manager.
  Mark the unknown device and delete it from the list (if possible)
  Go to control panel-> software control and check the list of software for webcam software (from chicony). Uninstall this software if its part of the list.

  Now, restart the laptop.
  Clean the operating system using CCleaner and install the correct webcam for Vista software. Note: pay attention to the 32-bit version or 64-bit.

  If the installation fails, try the Toshiba Recovery disk and define the notebook back to factory settings.

  By the way: decommissioning of BIOS is not possible because the old BIOS is not downloadable.

• Satellite A660-186 does not start when the USB nano-receiver is connected

  Recently I bought a mouse a4tech g7-750 with the nano-receiver into usb port plug.
  After the nano-receiver is inserted into the USB before lighting, computer laptop does not start.

  Only the cursor is displayed, so that it is displayed before the screen with the ability to enter the F2 BIOS or select the F12 boot device.
  Without the nano-receiver laptop runs without problem.

  Any advice?

  Thank you much in advance.

  Hello

  During the POST (power on self-test) all parts laptop as RAM, motherboard (also of connected devices) is enabled.
  If a problem (compatibility problems, etc.) would be detected during POST, then the laptop would not initialize correctly.

  This mouse nano-receiver is unknown to me and I m not very well what s wrong with this unit, but I doubt that this problem is related to the laptop.
  I guess that the laptop starts properly with other devices connected to the laptop. right? Well well, in such cases, there s no question cell phone but the 3rd unit affect the functionality of the laptop.
