• 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 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.

  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.

• 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 - Built In webcam suddenly stopped working

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 with a built-in USB 2.0 camera and a windows operating system 7, the camera suddenly stopped working for about 2-3 weeks ago with unknown reason!

  I tried the system restore, uninstall and reinstall the camera driver, preformed a complete analysis by kaspersky internet antivirus 2012 (updated) and I also ran a complete system and drivers troubleshooting... and the problem persists...

  When I use windows live movie maker it gives me an error saying: can t record audio or video of the selected camera. Make sure that the device you are trying to use is properly installed and not currently in use by another program.

  The microphone works well on Skype, but the camera does not open!
  Please tell me how to solve this problem, what missing am me?

  > I tried the system restore

  You got the device using the Toshiba Recovery disk?
  In this case the cam should work

  Otherwise I would say that this unwanted material s.

  Some users here in the forum have reported a webcam problem and the reason for this was a loser between the cam module and the motherboard connection.
  The webcam is connected to a USB controller on the motherboard.
  If the connection does not exist, the webcam does not appear in the Device Manager it does not appear in your case? Check this box

• Satellite L300 is not able to start Windows

  Hello

  My son laptop - Toshiba Satellite L300 is a failure at startup.

  He gets a BSOD.

  I tried F8 and then all of the options presented here to try to get either a command prompts in windows safe mode or orders, but it fails every time.

  So the laptop can not auto repair or allow access to the hard drive.

  It came with Vista pre-installed window so don't know how to make further progress.

  The BSOD message is one that says that I could have a virus or an I/O problem and suggest running CHKDSK /F which of course, I can't do.

  Please let know us what I can do next.

  Thank you

  Guy

  I'm afraid preinstalled OS is screwed and should be installed again Mr. best option and easiest is to install the original version of Vista that your son got with her laptop.
  He directed the recovery DVDs? Ask him what you please.

  If this isn't the case, you can have a big problem. I presume you want factory new, no?
  You can have it with the original Toshiba recovery DVD only.

  As I see it, * Toshiba Hdd recovery * does not solve your problem. You checked with the other memory, but it always freeze. so, I guess that a hard drive can be a troublemaker. If your laptop is still under warranty, you should contact them (SAV)

• Satellite L300: Problem with webcam

  Hello. Sorry for my English. I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L300-w15
  I have a problem with the webcam. Tried tons of different drivers. Official drivers from this web site, drivers by number of VID/PID... nothing helps. I think that someone has tried to change firmware on webcam and set bad firmware. Can you tell what webcam is installed on this laptop? Chicony? What model? Now, the web cam code is: USB\VID_0C45 & PID_62C0 & MI_00\6 & B22C026 & 1 0000
  Search by this code, I realized it's webcam from another laptop, Toshiba l300... you can what can I do? Can I change firmware to normal? Where can I take it? For what sex cam should look for firmware...

  Windows xp. tried to reinstall windows... nothing has changed

  Can you please install original OS that you got with your laptop and check the webcam feature?
  Or you got this cam without pre-installed software?
  > I think someone tried to change firmware on webcam and set the bad firmware
  As far as I know Toshiba doesn't offer any firmware for cam, just pilot and Toshiba webcam application. No more than that.

  What operating system do you use?
  You have installed and configured? I ask this question because I don't understand how someone can have access to your laptop?

• Re: Satellite L300-PSLB8E works super slow on Windows XP

  I have a Satellite L300-PSLB8E. It came with Vista Home Premium. After I did my recovery DVD, I did a SATA drivers downloaded from the Toshiba site. I did the F6 thing but kept getting always a bluescreen when the installation program got the 'starting Windows' I passed the SATA AHCI in BIOS compatibility and then managed to install XP without the SATA drive. What is strange, it's the sound LAGS and disk access is super slow. I ran a speed test program and he showed that the performance of the HARD disk are only 5% of the performance in Vista. I actually tested it on another laptop the same which was decommissioned and it had the same problem. Any advice? What is the AHCI Mode?

  > I had the SATA AHCI in BIOS compatibility and then managed to install XP without SATA drive

  This is the reason why your L300 runs slowly using Win XP.
  You have set the SATA in compatibility mode and now the HARD drive is not able to use the SATA performance.

  Your laptop would be faster using mode SATA and SATA drivers.

• Satellite L300-01:00 - need the drivers Windows XP 64-bit

  Hi all!

  I recently bought the Toshiba Satellite L300-01:00 which has 4 GB of memory RAM. The thing is, 32-bit Windows cannot allocate more than 3 GB of RAM and there is no drivers for Windows 64 bit on this site.

  Can I use these drivers XP, downloaded from the site, as well on XP64 and XP32? If this is not the case, what am I, what to do?
  Thank you very much!

  Are you bother just did 3.2 GB can be used or you think really with 4 GB, you'll have more powerful laptop?

  There is no sense to think about installing 64-bit if the phone is not supported for 64 - bit. Maybe you can find some drivers on the internet, but you will have all the other stuff specific to Toshiba.
