• 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!

  Hello

  I think you should first update / reinstall the driver for the webcam / software.
  You will get the webcam software / driver for Win 7 of the Toshiba UE driver page:
  http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  before you would be stars the webcam driver installation, I recommend you to uninstall the pre-installed software (Control Panel-> programs and features)
  Then restart the laptop and install the new downloaded drivers

• 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 PSLS0A - internal webcam does not work

  Hello

  I was wondering if someone could help me out here. I have a built-in webcam and who doesn't, but I would like to make it work again. I don't know if the software has been removed.

  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

  Details of the laptop
  ******************
  [Information on PC]
  Model name Satellite L500
  Part number PSLS0A - 08 p 002
  Version of the OS Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 6.1.7601

  > Does anyone know what brand these webcams are i.e. Logitech?
  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 ;)

• 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?

  + Important INFORMATION +.

• 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. :)

• Change the screen of welcome/opening of session start on Satellite L500

  Hi - just bought laptop for my son (the Satellite L500 - 19 X with Win7 Home) preloaded and getting ready for Christmas.

  The logon screen is the Toshiba logo with a white background. This makes shaded police fall very hard to read which is used for usernames; and the "change user" list after < ctrl alt del > etc.
  What is the name of the file that produced this wallpaper of connection please so that I can replace to make the text legible?

  Note: the same question on the desktop, but this can be avoided by unchecking the box "shadow" in Visual effects & change the wallpaper.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  I googled a little and found this:
  http://www.withinWindows.com/2009/03/15/Windows-7-to-officially-support-logon-UI-background-customization/

  The procedure is a little but delicate.
  You must change the registry.

  -Beginning of registry (Regedit.exe)
  -go to
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-Software-Microsoft-Windows-CurrentVersion------authentication------LogonUI------background

  -Create a new DWORD value named OEMBackground
  -Double-click OEMBackground and set its value data to 1
  -Access register

  This allows you to include the screen background image (jpg)

  In C:\Windows\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds, you could include the jpg file.
  The file should be named backgroundDefault.jpg + +.

  Note: info and background folders don't exist by default. You must manually create these records. In addition, the images must be less than 256 KB!

• Satellite L500-1WG - how to use the modem internal?

  I am new to computers and laptops and that you just bought the Toshiba Satellite L500-1WG. I was told, in the shop, he has an internal modem?

  What should I do to activiate/get connected to the internet? Do I need an external modem wired or wireless as well? No difficult language or abbreviations please, I am a total novice with very limited on this subject knowledge. Have only to learn how to start and run the basic set up.

  HEY buddy,

  > Told me, in the shop, he has an internal modem?
  It seems that this shop doesn't know what they are selling or they wanted kid a small round little

  It turns out satellite L500 is not equipped with modem and it doesn t have a modem (RJ12) port.

  So if you want to use the modem connection, you must purchase an external. But for now he s not advised to use a modem, the majority of the pages are not designed for modem more.
