• Satellite L500-1Z1 - not initialize with 8 GB of DDR3 RAM

  I bought two DDR3 4 GB modules, however, when I install both, the laptop does not start. When I reinsert the module 2 GB with one of the 4 GB modules, it works and saves 6 GB. Why it will not work with two 4 GB modules? Must I update the BIOS? Should I change the BIOS, and if so, what needs changing? Help, please.

• Re: Missing webcam on my Satellite L500-1

  My Toshiba Satellite L500-1 built - in webcam stopped working today. It worked very well, and I made no changes to the system (Windows 7-64 bit), but the camera just stopped working.
  I can't find the camera in Device Manager, he just disappeared. I downloaded the driver and installed it, but nothing happened.

  Any ideas?

  Hi Tania46,

  What you can try is load default settings in the BIOS. You can do this when you press F9 in BIOS, then save the new values.

  Otherwise, I think that Akuma is good and there is a loose connection so contact service provider allowed in your country and ask for help. :)

• Re: Most of the time by Satellite T110 webcam fails to initialize

  It happens most of the time you.
  The webcam of my T110 fails to initialize and a message appears saying that webcam could not initialize, please check the device and restart the program (Web camera application) or the computer!

  Other times, it works, but after a pop up appears on the bar by saying that an unsupported USB device has been detected and could not be installed tasks!

  It is boring! Can someone help me please?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Seems that the software of webcam has stopped working.
  I think that you should first try to reinstall this software.

  First remove the software of the webcam of the system.
  Then clean the system and the registry using CCleaner!
  Reboot the laptop twice and run CCleaner several times to make sure that everything has been properly cleaned.
  Download the software of the webcam from the European driver Toshiba page, and then install it.
  Restart the unit. Launch msconfig (in RUN type msconfig) and go to the Startup tab.
  There, you must deselect landmark from the webcam software. This prevents the automatic start software. Restart the unit.

  Now, if you do want to use the webcam, select all programs-> Toshiba-> webcam software and start it.

  Hello

  Have you tried to reinstall the webcam software?
  I think it should work!

  First remove the software from the system.
  Then restart the computer, and then install the webcam software that you can download on the European driver Toshiba page.

• Re: Satellite L500 - 19 X - start the Webcam with Windows application

  I lost my webcam on the Desktop Application.

  Can I bring back by accessing the Web camera Application / Program (86) / Toshiba / Web camera Application and clicking on the Web Camera Application .exe. But it do not reappear when I boot. I have the Auto Run has ticked.

  My laptop is the Satellite L500 - 19 X, Windows 7
  Thanks for any help.

  Hey William,

  Normally in the webcam software you choose whether the application should be started with Windows or not.
  Did you check that?

  In addition, you should check it in msconfig (start > run > msconfig). There you can find a list of all the programs that start up with Windows. Make sure that the software of the webcam is not disabled.

  In the worst cases, you need to reinstall the software, but it only takes a few minutes. ;)

• Satellite L500: webcam shows a group's default image - do not live photo

  I have Toshiba Satellite L500 and im having problems with my Webcam. It could be very simple to fix, but for the life of me can not understand!

  I click on photograph, and when it goes in the capture screen it will not display a live peak.
  Instead, it shows just a default image of a group of people looking at the ocean.

  If you click on capture or just record, he captures or records this image instead of what came the web should see. If you remove all the image in the preview screen it still shows this one photo!

  The laptop is less then a year old and I rarely use the webcam. This problem has only just begun.

  The webcam has already displayed a live picture.

  Help, please!

  Does anyone know what brand these webcams are i.e. Logitech?
  I don't have any CD when I bought this laptop (do not know if I threw them - silly me)

  Could someone point out to me which software I need to download? Very appreciated

  As far as I know the internal webcam module is Chicony.

  Your laptop seems to be an Australian series of Toshiba.
  That's why the drivers and other software from Toshiba as webcam software are on the Australian page Toshiba ;)

• Satellite L500 - Webcam is grainy

  Yes as shown, I have recently purchased a Toshiba satellite L500 on a month and half ago.
  When I used the webcam it was fine, but then, all of a sudden it seems he has turned REALLY grainy, especially when, in low light conditions where it is used to good work and be clear and sharp.

  I tried to uninstall the toshiba webcam software, the driver for the webcam and reinstall both without success. I can say that I have nothing to make this happen. The computer that is running windows vista.

  I uploaded a picture for comparison as to how it was first and how it is now, I hope that someone on this forum can help me to solve this problem without having to climb on toshiba.

  Thanking you in advance for reading and your answers.
  Zach.

• Webcam does not work on Satellite L500-1DT

  Recently got a Satellite L500-1DT for my mother who is learning to use a computer for the first time and everything works apart from the webcam integrated, that was a big part of the decision to purchase.

  The blue light comes on and it records sound but no pictures. Also, it does not take the photo or tour and in both cases just shows the image of cloudy sunset which seems to be a default turned on the program. I tried troubleshooting for her, but there is nothing in the help guide that tells you how to solve this problem, if it doesn't work.
  The software is already preloaded when it was purchased (we got it online) and I don't want to uninstall it because I don't think that we have a record.

  Can anyone help?

  Hey Buddy!

  I m not very good but in my opinion you should try to reinstall the driver for the webcam. Just check the Toshiba page for an update:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

  But before installing the latest version, first remove the old and reboot the laptop.

  Regarding the disc you want to say, as far as I know Toshiba laptop will not be delivered with the recovery disk. This means that you must create yourself using Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. This disc contains an image on the factory settings. It is the same version that you have started the laptop, the first time.

  By the way: normally after the first boot, you should get a message of this type. Can you confirm this?
