Satellite A660 - webcam only shows a black image

Hey,.

I have a satellite A660 PSAW3A-07P00R running 64-bit windows 7.
No reason the webcam just stopped working. Whenever I y access either by the program of toshiba or others (such as Skype), I am facing a black image despite the blue camera power light is always on. The wecam application works fine and everything, it'll even take photos and videos even if he won't save them because it captures anything.

I checked in the Manager of tasks, and despite me running on windows 7 64-bit, the program is displayed as ' TWebCamera.exe * 32 "leads me to believe that he is trying to run 32-bit...
I reinstalled the driver for the webcam 64-bit of the toshiba site _3 times_ yet I still have the same problem (Yes, I mean 3).

It's really frustrating me and any help would be appreciated!
Thanks, Luke.

Hello

This s really strange behavior, mate

But I can only imagine this problem is driver-related and not a hardware problem then try this:
Remove the webcam driver and restart your computer, run CCleaner (freeware tool) to clean and fix registry problems and reboot once again. Then visit the official page of Toshiba and and download the new driver of the webcam for your model and the OS.

Normally after the next reboot the webcam should start working with success.
Can you confirm this? :)

  • Satellite A660 - Webcam not found at all

    Hello

    I was wondering if someone could help me please. I tried to use the webcam on my Satellite A660 PSAW3A 0TK00R using Windows 7 32 bit. When I open the Toshiba "Web Camera Application" application, the application will not load again and he says to the camera cannot be found.

    When I try to use the web cam on another application like Skype, webcam for TOSHIBA Analog Capture (Dev1 path2) he has said "unable to start the video. Try closing other programs that may use your webcam "."

    I tried to download the Toshiba Web Camera Application Webcam 1.1.1.15 Windows 7 32 bit 28,78 MB of the Toshiba site and who does nothing after she extracted. I followed the extraction to the temp directory and tried the file setup.exe. It uninstalled the Web camera Application. Restarted the computer, and then run Setup.exe and it reinstalled the program.

    After doing this, the problem is always exactly the same. I looked for the driver in Device Manager and you can not find a driver related to the webcam to restart. Anyone have any ideas on how to get the webcam working?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    I recommend a new installation driver webcam

    This means that you need to remove the current version of the driver for the webcam (Control Panel > uninstall a program) and then restart your computer. Use Ccleaner or another registry to remove bad registry keys and restart again. Then install the latest driver for the webcam that you can find.

  • Satellite A660 - Webcam does not work when using Skype

    I recently bought a Satellite A660-15J. I am running Windows 7 64 bit.

    I have the latest version of Skype (5.3.0.111).

    The integrated Webcam does not work when you run Skype. If I run the Toshiba Web Camera Application the webcam works fine. However, when I test it in Skype, I get a message saying "cannot start video. Try quitting other programs that use the webcam '.

    However, as far as I can tell there no other programs available. I have tried Skype with the Web Camera Application clised & open. I also confirmed that I do run the latest version of the program.

    One of the main reasons we have this laptop is to use Skype video... Help, please.

    Disable webcam application start-up and exit this application before you start Skype.

    I used Skype many different models of laptops, including friends A660 and it worked correctly.

    When you open Skype video settings is listed as default camera USB webcam?

    Hi planetj,.

    I think you mean the webcam screen coverage, you can disable the webcam software if you click effect and select them OFF and it will no longer appear.

    The same problem, I found in this thread

  • Satellite A660 boots up to the black screen with blinking cursor not upper left

    My new Satellite A660-10W sometimes (not always), when turned on, boots up to a black screen with a flashing cursor in the top left. If I stop by pressing the power button, it stops immediately. I then wait a few seconds and press the power button again and then it usually starts very well.

    Could it be updated during this process and I'll be more patient (usually wait a few minutes) before shutting down when this happens?

    Usually something like that shouldn't happen. Satellite A660 is no different from all the other models and OS must be loaded shortly after Toshiba welcome screen appears.
    Do you use your laptop with factory settings or you have changed something?

  • Satellite L645 - why my webcam only shows me?

    My Satellite L645 came with the already installed webcam. I've never used, but I have to now.
    When I turn it on it displays the image of a kind of tropical lagoon instead of my face.

    I don't know where this picture is from is not a picture that I have on my computer.

    If I hit capture the camera takes a picture of the lagoon. How can I get the web cam to show my face instead of this generic lagoon.

  • Webcam always shows the same image

    I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me.

    I recently bought a laptop with a built in camera. However, one of the photos I uploaded to my laptop has frozen, so whenever I try to take a photo or video of the camera, the image appears instead and I can't remove it. Whenever I take a picture, it takes a picture of the image, and there was also a video of the image.

    Please can someone help me

    Hi Emily,.

    Sorry, but I've never heard of this problem. This really does not for me so I can only give you a few tips that you should try.

    First I remove the webcam driver and install the latest version. While you have to restart the laptop. The latest drivers, you can download it here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Also make sure all Windows updates are installed.
    In the worst cases, you must do a fresh install of Windows :(

    By the way: which laptop computer and the operating system you have?

    I see. whenever I see this type of Visual anomalies, I suspect a corrupted preferences or GPU Driver file. We will see about that:

    1 reset your preferences: Ctrl / Cmd + Alt + Maj + launch of the app you will be presented with a dialog box to reset your preferences: click OK

    2. update your GPU driver

  • Webcam on Satellite U500-17 x only shows black photo

    I didn't change any setting of the device. they have all of the default settings. The blue led on the side of the camera turns on but only a black screen.
    If I use the software Toshiba cam and try to take a picture it says "failed to capture the photo.
    On "Device Manager", the tab for imaging devices shows usb 2.0 uvc webcam without error and with the updated drivers. I get no error at startup or when opening the cam applications.

    The problem persists...

    Any idea?

    Hi Costa

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here. All that you have done is just but I think it's time for a more radical, but also more effective solution (test). Reinstall the operating system and test the features of cam with the factory settings.

    It should work again. If it's not... maybe service?
