Satellite C660 - webcam does not record

Small problem with the webcam on my weird C660 laptop. It does work very well on Skype no problem at all and capture pictures very well, but every time I try and record a video, it makes a beep when I press 'save', then completely freezes, near my webcam light goes off (so I guess that the webcam is turned off?) and refuse to answer. I'm waiting for an hour, it would catch up, but it's not hope. He ended up being closed by using the task manager that he won't answer.

Any idea what is happening with it or why it does this? I haven't added or changed all things originally, he came with, I'm not very tech don't savvy so any idea how to sort

Thanks :)

> shows just a picture of a flower, when I try to capture or record.

Start the webcam application.
This should be present in all programs Toshiba Utilities Software Webcam
(it is also possible that this path is a little different)

Now in webcam application choose effect (first right option)
Here you can change the settings like the contrast enhancement, edge and view (last tab)

I think you must go and must turn off the option there.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • My Satellite C660-1UJ does not start

    Hello people,

    My laptop Toshiba Satellite * c660-1uj starts up.

    It does nothing when I press the powerbutton.
    When I connect the poweradapter I hear a clicking sound, as it is with or without the battery and I also see the light (led) battery flashes green.

    I think it has something to do with my motherboard, but I'm not sure.

    I would like to be sure before you buy a new.
    Does anyone know where the problem is and how to fix it?

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards

    Sjoerd

    > I think it has something to do with my motherboard, but I don't know.
    Yes, I think that this problem could be related to problems of motherboard.
    But this would be the worst case, given that the new motherboard is very expensive part I gues guarantee is not valid?

    But why you put the memory t-test? Faulty RAM memory may prevent startup laptop and power. Replace the RAM module is not very difficult.

    Of course, you would need to buy new modules for verification, but maybe you could visit some technicians computer/laptop to downtown who could test the device with new RAM modules.
    In this case it would be pointless to buy the parts for testing purposes only.

  • Satellite C660 keyboard does not

    My keyboard has stopped working and after trying different things I've read in other forums I've went ahead and replaced it. New keyboard was working perfectly until now that all came back but slightly different...

    Original keyboard wouldn't let me type any numbers and letters, v, b, n, f, g, h, r, t, y, were dead, as well as the entire line of F1 to F10. The new keyboard worked perfectly, but now the mouse pad does not work and I get extra letters when I type 'R', I get r5y78 instead... ""vm"rather than m and fh rather than h...

    I don't know if it's a motherboard problem, but it's very strange that the usb keyboard and mouse work fine however new keyboard worked fine for about a week and now I use USB keyboard again...

    Any suggestions?

    Laptop model: Toshiba Satellite c660
    OS: Win 7

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    If the external USB keyboard works correctly, the keyboard controller should be OK. So I don't think his problem of motherbaord.
    I guess the new keyboard is too bad and you will need to get another try and you need to replace the keyboard once more.

  • Satellite C660-2EL does not start

    Hi guys,.

    After a few days full of frustration here I am.

    I am working on a friends Satellite C660-2EL
    He was stuck in the endless loop of boot Win 7 and would not be recovered by any means.

    So I decided a format was the way to go.
    After the format using partition magic everything's fine.
    I reinstalled Win 7 and the installation was also fine. Once the installation is complete, and it's a reboot that I decided to jump into the BIOS and change the order of boot if I put the CD Drive first. If after changing the settings and then save and quit this crap won't start at all now, no CD HD or anything else.

    The toshiba screen flashes upward, but when I hit F2 now it freezes just tell to get into Setup.
    When I try to hit F12 the screen goes back to the blinking cursor.
    If I press anything I get the white screen with the cursor.

    I saw a video on you tube to reset the CMOS, I tried it work with no luck.

    Any ideas guys?

    Hello

    You want to say you have a cursor blinking in the upper left corner and the unit does not start CD or HARD drive?
    The blinking cursor is above all a sign of failure of the HARD drive.

    I recommend that you check the HARD drive with the help of a tool (freeware) called Drive Fitness Test.
    This tool creates a bootable disk that scans the HARD drive for malfunctions.

    If the HARD drive's fault, it be replaced

  • Satellite C660 - keyboard does not work but the Num and caps lock shift are on

    I have a Satellite C660 which was working fine this morning. When I came home from work and he turned, the keyboard does not work and therefore can not enter my login information.
    The Num and caps lock shift are turned on.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Hello

    You are able to disable the CapsLock and NumLock?
    You can access the BIOS by pressing F2 by turning on the device?

    If this does not work, I would recommend checking an external USB keyboard.
    If the USB keyboard would be functions, then this means that the internal keyboard is defective and must be replaced.

  • Satellite C660-268 does not start, no start screen

    My laptop Toshiba Satellite C660-268 was installing updates, then it froze for half an hour, I decided to force quit by pressing the power button.

    I tried power, portable could not wake up, I can hear the fan but screen is not black, no post/splash screen (Bios screen), turn on the led goes for a few seconds and then turn off. I tried to press the important function, but nothing could make my laptop boot or stay on. Please,

    I need your help in order to remake my boot laptop

    I think that some of the material died during update installation.
    From my point of few, it was simply bad luck that this error occurred during the update of the system.

    There is only one real solution: the troublemaker should be found and replaced.

    Theoretically, this issue can result from memory problems, but also the failure of the motherboard. The RAM modules are not very expensive and where the RAM is faulty, the fix is not a big problem.

    But in case of malfunction of the motherboard, the laptop repair could be a very costly affair.

    What could be the next step?
    I think if you have no experience of mainframe, you should seek some professional help and assistance.

  • Satellite C660-1J1 does not illuminate

    Hi guys!

    First sory about my English, I'm from Croatia

    I have the Satellite c660-1j1 for about 2 years now and never had any problem until 2 days ago, when he stops in the middle of work after which he used to shoot more. I tried to remove the battery and the ac power button and hold it down for 30 seconds, remove hard drive, ram etc. and did not help. I noticed that when I press start button / right stop green light flashes once and that's it... nothing another hapend... also, I noticed that it happens only when the battery is plugged... If I remove the battery and leave one plugged ac nothing happens... laptop completely died... also I tried plugging another adapter that I know it's working, and same thing.

    So I think something is wrong with motherboard or dc in the Jack cable and power supply.

    I would like to fix this myself if I need your opinion what could be a problem, so I can buy a right-hand side.

    I hope if someone knows this problem or knows what that means green flashing of led.

    Thanks in advance

    When you connect power AC is DC led on?

    > I would like to fix this myself if I need your opinion what could be a problem, so I can buy a right-hand side.
    I can't say for sure but I'm afraid there is an electronic power problem and I don't think that you can remedy only Mr. it is part of the motherboard. In the end you can't find parts for laptop easier with regard to jobs.

    In the past a guy from Croatia reported on the good service of Toshiba in Zagreb. www.mojservis.HR maybe you should communicate with the guys who work there and ask for help or advice.
