Satellite L350 - Webcam initialization failed

I'm new here so not sure if I'm posting in the right place.

I have a Toshiba Satellite L350 (Windows 7) that I bought in January. Everything was fine until the last two weeks when my webcam suddenly stopped working and when I sign in Dungeon getting a webcam of the message initialization failed, please check your device and restart the computer or the camera.

I went to settings and it says camera works, but it is not. I also have another pop up when I sign saying check Toshiba laptop stopped working (not sure what it is)

Can anyone help please?

Thank you
Jan

Hi Jan,

I had the same question as my webcam didn't work and so I reinstalled the driver for the webcam that could solve my problem. You can download it here:
http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

But I recommend to remove the old version first. Then use CCleaner to clean the registry and then you can install the latest version on the Toshiba site.

Toshiba laptop recording you can remove from Control Panel > Add/Remove programs.

Check this box!

    Hi Dylan,.

    You can use the internal webcam with other applications like Skype?
    Have you installed the correct Satellite L650 webcam driver?
    What operating system you are using?

    If you have already reinstalled the driver for the webcam I advise to use CCleaner tool. It is a very nice freeware tool that can check your registry for the old registry keys and delete. If this cleaning software nice s to improve performance a bit and solve problems. Just use Google to find this program.

    Hey,.

    Hmm, it seems that something has confused the webcam driver

    You wrote that you reinstalled the driver but how? In your case, I would like to delete the driver from Control Panel > uninstall the software and then restart the computer. Now run CCleaner and check the registry problems and clean (very useful and freeware tool). Restart and install the latest version of the official website of Toshiba webcam software.

    I have now run out of ideas.

    Hi briley,.

    > I tried the drivers of toshiba for windows 7
    Usually the Windows 7 drivers are not compatible for XP because the drivers are different and is not compatible.

    According to the site Web of Toshiba, Satellite L350 isn't XP support because there is no drivers for it, but if you are looking for all models (without model number) L350 CANF find you a driver for XP camera wizard.

    Then just download and install this driver, it should work.

    Hey Buddy,

    You reinstall Windows using Toshiba disk recovery or a normal disc of Microsoft?

    If you use the Toshiba Recovery disk to reinstall, everything will be restored back to factory settings and should work properly because all the drivers and tools will install automatically.

    If it doesn t work it seems to be a hardware malfunction and contact a service provider authorized in your country. Guys can order new parts and repair it under warranty.

  • Satellite L350 - webcam not working not

    I can bring to the top of the toolbar web camera by moving to the left of the screen.

    But although I could make a couple of days, I now cannot start the camera.
    By clicking on the camera via the bar assistant software startup does not work either.

    When I click on each of the options in the toolbar, I get a very fast blue circle which rotates as it loads, but then it does nothing.

    Please can someone advise what I need to do?

  • 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 L750, webcam integrated - application - initialization failed

    I recently got a new Satellite L750 laptop with built in webcam as a gift by my parents, who live in the United Kingdom, so I can stay in touch with them to the Ireland. We had hoped to call each other via video calls, but I can't get the webcam in the laptop for work. I click on camera app Web displays a message saying "Web Camera Application initialization failed; Restart the computer or web camera. »

    I have tried to download the driver from the web camera on the toshiba site and have updated the BIOS, but it made no difference.

    What can I do to get it working?

    I assume that you want to use Skype or some other messenger, right?
    For this application, you must not start application pre-installed Webcam. You can even disable the start-up.

    Can you please check if cam is recognized and listed correctly in the Device Manager and check if some messenger recognizes cam.

    Please post comments and we can continue this discussion.
