• Satellite NB10T-to-10F - webcam suddenly stopped working

  Hello
  I got the laptop TOSHIBA SATELLITE NB10T-A-10F
  The web cam has suddenly stopped working
  I tried
  Updated bios even without result
  Here is the picture of Device Manager

  In various cases, the webcam can be enabled and disabled in the BIOS
  This option would typically appear in the BIOS under: Advanced-> System Configuration
  Please check this box.

  Otherwise, you need to know also that the webcam driver installation isn't necessary if you use the system Win 8 or 8.1 win because such driver is already part of the system.

  If the BIOS does not have the power option webcam (Advanced-> System Configuration) I would recommend you to retrieve the computer laptop back to the factory to check settings if possible hardware malfunction would be responsible for this issue.

• Satellite A665-14F - built-in Webcam suddenly stopped working

  Hello Toshiba people,

  I used Satellite A665 - 14F PSAW3E more than 2 years and I have really no problem with my webcam, until today. I realized all of a sudden (when I entered the website that requires a webcam) that my webcam is not working. (It works perfectly). My laptop stopped seeing to the integrated webcam.

  First, I checked the 'device manager' to find and check the driver of it, but I couldn't find the webcam. In fact I don't know in which category in Device Manager, I'm supposed to see. After that, I uninstalled the Webcam Application from Toshiba of the thing "Add/Remove Programs" of Windows. I found the Driver + Kit application to the webcam in my laptop Toshiba's European Web site and installed. He asked me to restart after uninstalling and installing both. I did both times. It is still not fixed. In addition, now light blue right next to the webcam (which is supposed to be activated when the webcam is active) is lit permanently, which is really annoying...

  The only other detail I can give to you guys, it's that I realized that I have an "unknown device" with an error icon yellow triangle on it in the category of the 'USB Bus controllers '. Could be related to my problem, as if the webcam is also associated USB hardware? Cause I believe that this unknown hit-and-run driver appeared in the same day with my webcam problem.

  Thanks in advance to any person for his time. (I use win7 - 64 bit)

  Best,
  Ibrahim

  > The only other detail I can give to you guys, it's that I realized that I have an "unknown device" with an error icon yellow triangle on it in the category of the 'USB Bus controllers '.

  I guess that's the internal webcam.
  Webcam module is connected to the USB controller on the motherboard and the yellow exclamation point means that software webcam was not installed correctly.

  In your case, I recommend first of all:
  (1) uninstall the software of webcam again
  (2) remove the unknown device Bus USB controllers in Device Manager (mark and press DELETE)
  (3) install CCLeaner tool can clean the registry and the system
  (4) restart the laptop and install the webcam software once more.

  Good luck

• Satellite L850 - webcam suddenly stopped working

  The web cam on my Satellite L850 has suddenly stopped working.

  It does not appear in Device Manager;
  I downloaded the latest driver on the Toshiba site;
  I checked the BIOS and the web cam is turned on;
  Always when I open the web cam application I get the following message:

  "webcam initialization failed Please restart request and camera control.

  I scoured the advice forum and short of a return to the top and reboot disk HARD, I find no reasonable answer. I can't back up as I am away from home is out of the question. I need web conference call cam / call my family to the United Kingdom back.

  Tired of going round in circles and getting nowhere.

  Any suggestions?

  Even if you have not changed the settings in the BIOS, you must Access the BIOS to make sure that the webcam is turned on it!

  I also recommend the suite of this workaround:
  Uninstall the webcam software
  Uninstall the VAP
  Uninstall all software needed the webcam (Skype, etc...)
  Now, restart and install CCLeaner (cleaning of freeware software)
  Reboot once more.
  Run CCleaner and clean the system and the registry.
  Reset
  Now follow with installation of VAP
  Reset
  Install the webcam software
  Reset
  Test webcam.

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro L870 - Touch-pad suddenly stopped working

  Hi - the touchpad on my Satellite Pro L870 - 18G (Windows 8) has suddenly stopped working (after less than 2 months use of)-which makes the phone rather difficult to use. There is nothing wrong with the driver - according to the Device Manager, but I tried to reinstall when even (did not help).
  These things are not normally suddenly?

  Why device manager says that there is no problem when there is a very clear?

  Maybe the touchpad is disabled. Is there a any reaction when you use the FN + F5 key combination?

• Re: Satellite A300-19 t has suddenly stopped working (power led is off)

  Hello

  I have a 19 t A300 Toshiba, model PSAJ4E that I have used for more than 1 year and a half. Yesterday, I just started, started to work for 5 min and all of a sudden it has stopped working and remained silent. I'm not through the shutdown process or whatever it is a software based process, just a hard stop. I don't even have the led power indicator. I figured that the power being the issue, brick took and plugged into another laptop and was good (the power led came). This is definitley on my laptop.

  So I am writing to ask you guys: what can cause the power light on my laptop, not to turn on, when I plug the DC Jack? Is this something on my laptop the charging circuit? What is the motherboard I need to change? How can I get a better diagnosis? I got this entire manual to solve my problem? My goal is to find out exactly what happened.

  In addition, I have the skills to apply basic manual procedures. I am able to disassemble my laptop (down to the motherboard) and refit it.

  Thank you!

  Ilyes Gouta.

  Hello

  It looks like the power supply electronic breakdown which is part of the motherboard. I don't think you can fix it yourself, in most cases, replace the whole motherboard.

• Satellite A300 - 1 5: webcam has stopped working - Webcam driver open fail

  Hello

  features of my laptop here: ([A300 - 1 G 5 | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 1055589]) for any need details...

  The problem is simply, the webcam has stopped for some reason, an error messeage said "driver fail open Webcam. "Please restart camera or computer.

  I noticed that whenever I put the computer in mode "sleep" I was getting on the bar notification says "USB device not recognized..." I was not aware of what it was - he thought because of the mouse USB is connected... but I think that its related to the camera...

  the software is installed, but camera does not work and cannot allow him... I download the latest driver from the toshiba site, but still does not...

  Currently, my laptop runs Vista HP SP2 32-bit, Windows defender enabled, Windows Firewall enabled, the Windows UAC enabled, Ani-Virus of Kaspersky 2009 Enabled. I only use Windows Live Messenger (which I think to date, version: 14.0.8089.726) I used camera with, I quite using recognition of faces a long time ago and rarely use the webcam... I didn't install or update all drivers and used to have the laptop works perfectly...

  So what happened now?

  Hello

  I had a similar error message and might solve this problem by disabling startup webcam software.
  In msconfig-> Start Up tab I have disabled the Chicony webcam software.
  This prevents automatic loading.
  I don t use MSN but Skype and the Chicony webcam software is always off (unsigned) if Skype is running.

  Maybe you should try that too.

  In addition, you can try this:
  Go to Device Manager, mark the webcam (peripheral video imaging peripheral USB) and removed from the list of devices.
  Then restart the laptop and wait until the webcam is recognized again.

  Then test it.

• Satellite C50-A560 - right-click suddenly stopped working

  So Hey all,.

  I was watching a movie on my laptop 2 days ago, but all of a sudden the right click doesn't work anymore! I tried to reinstall the driver and it worked for a little bit but it kept spamming the right click menu.

  But now it doesn't work at all. Why did this happened?

  It is not easy to explain what the problem is here.
  On the first try, please to test the functionality of touchpad in general. If your computer uses a Synaptics software please open it and change the options for touchpad left and right button, just to see if something will change.

  In the end, I have to ask if everything else, except the right touchpad button, works correctly?

• Satellite L300 suddenly stopped working - new motherboard needed

  My L300 Sat suddenly stopped working the other day.

  It kept freezing, then nothing. So I kill disked the HARD drive and tried to re - install Windows (XP).
  During the installation, he threw a message that some internal components had been installed incorrectly and has to be reinstalled.
  I was told to remove the memory cards and reposition the.

  It does not work. I thought that maybe the HARD drive was damaged, so I set up a new and started to reinstall Windows.
  Once again, same message. One of my colleagues at work suggested that the motherboard was probably U/S.

  So I've been trawling .net to find a replacement. Laptop computer out of warranty! I am told that some other mothers numbered series will work with this laptop. I really want to get a motherboard to find sound never go to work! My unit has a number of SPS to: V000138330.
  I am one with an SPS of offered: V000138390.

  Any ideas? This one will work?
  And if this is the case, it will give me the feature I used to enjoy?
  Sorry for the long history of sobbing.

  All the advice accepted with gratitude.

  ANDY-N

  Hello Andy

  Sorry, but can you tell us more about your laptop? What model do you have exactly (L300-xxx)?
  You have the European model?
  At your warranty valid for laptop?
  Maybe I've misunderstood something, but why you want to swap motherboard if the warranty is probably still valid?

• Satellite L300 - 2CL - built in mic has stopped working

  Hello

  When I bought this computer (sep-09) everything worked fine. Then in March (I hade it idle for some time), my built in mic has stopped working.

  What eles is fina, and I scanned the Web for solutions and tried to install the new drivers, unistall them, all possible boots, disabel and restart, but at most I just get a static sound of my recordings of test.

  I use win 7 home pre, but the problems started when I was with Vista. Now, I am of ideas, and my friends on Skype develops enough not to hear me.

  Is that what I can do to get the microphone working, or should I buy a headset?

  Grateful for help
  Hugo

  Hi mate

  To be honest, I would use a helmet because helmet still provides a better speak of quality.

  But the internal MIC is part of the webcam and the microphone is controlled by the software of webcam too.
  Please launch the webcam software and go to settings.
  Then, choose Audio tab.
  Here, you must increase the volume to maximum.

• Satellite T130: integrated webcam has stopped working

  Hi, I have the same problem of the bellows of the question, as I looked around and I was not able to find the answer I need.
  I have a Satellite T130 and, suddenly, the integrated webcam has stopped working properly. A blue light is on, but there is no picture. What can I do?
  Thank you

  Hi mate

  I have the same problem, sometimes using my U400.
  This happens if the room is dark for the camera.
  If something like this happens to you that I recommend that you keep your finger in front of the webcam for a short period.
  After that, the image of the webcam should come back again in my case it worked.

• Satellite A350-20s - built-in microphone has stopped working

  Hello

  I was wondering if someone could help me? My mic has suddenly stopped working. I was away for two weeks and when I tried to use the microphone it no longer works. It was working perfectly before.

  When I go into Control Panel and watch settings for the microphone, he said his assets. I also installed the volume on the microphone and checked if everything is muted. But as far as I could see everything fine.

  If I test the microphone the sound bar still gray and the microphone is not any sound recording. I tried a few of the instructions I found online, but nothing helped.
  I mainly use the microphone on web with Skype calls.

  It is a very frustrating problem. I hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  The built-in microphone is the webcam and is a part of it. Which means it would be recommended to reinstall the driver for the webcam. You can download the driver for the webcam on Toshiba website for your laptop.

  Can send you additional information about your operating system? You use the preinstalled operating system from Toshiba or did you do your own installation of Windows?

• Internal speakers Satellite C640 suddenly stopped working

  Hi friends,

  My satellite c640, internal speakers suddenly stopped working but works fine when the headphones or external sources are connected
  Is this a hardware problem?

  I m using win 7 64 bit and I tried to install the drivers but seems to be a hardware problem

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  I don't know if it is a hardware issue of m.
  You may need to check certain settings.

  In Control Panel-> sound-> the Read tab.
  You should see the speakers selected as the default device.
  You can also click these speakers to the right and you should see a few options:
  Speaker Setup
  test
  Disable
  and so on.

  Test the speaker first. In my case, a short tone is displayed. You can also mark the speaker and click the properties button. You will see a second window with tabs. Check the second tab called LEVEL. Here, you can change the sound level.

  What happen exactly when you try to reinstall the sound driver? You get errors?

• Satellite L50Dt - A - touchpad suddenly stopped working

  Hello
  I'm not a part of L50Dt-A Satellite. PSKM2A. It is running Windows 8.1.

  Last night the touchpad suddenly stopped not working, no cursor on the screen.
  The little mouse on the touchpad indicator has not been and is not yet lit.
  So I pressed the Fn + F5 key so many times, but that didn't work back.

  I went to the mouse properties in Control Panel, and under the hardware, it is listed.
  In Device Manager, there is nothing under the mouse either.
  I went to the site of Toshiba and downloaded the driver for the touchpad.

  However, on installation, it says that this is impossible because the computer already has one.
  I need to uninstall and reinstall.
  However, I don't find the touchpad synaptics original anywhere to uninstall driver.

  Everything is updated via windows update and I ran the troubleshooting tools and that you have restarted, and so far, nothing has worked.

  I plugged in an external mouse so I can use it.
  But I'd like my touchpad mouse works again.

  Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.

  Thank you

  > Yesterday the touch pad suddenly stopped working...
  I ve never been faced with this problem, but try first to make back the OS to an earlier time using system restore just to see what will happen.

  In this whole thing that it is confusing that touchpad isn't listed in the Manager under the mouse devices and other pointing devices.
