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!

-Drag your mouse on your pop out where you choose to use your webcam, instead click the option at the bottom of the "Effect" in their 'net', click and click 'OFF' Tada! The Image now on your camera, I'm really not sure why you'd even want this option on a webcam but it's available goodluck! +

  • 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.

    As far as I know the quality of the image depends on the light conditions of the surrounding area.

    Hello

    I m not a X 200 owner, but I guess this unit uses the graphics card from NVIDIA.
    So I think that this problem is only related to incorrect settings in the nVidia control panel.

    I can't provide you with a solution exactly but I would recommend to check the settings in the control panel-> Nvidia Control Panel-> video & TV.
    You can change the view Advanced through the unique options.

  • How to recover Vista on Satellite L500

    Hello guys,.

    I bought a Satellite L500 with Windows Vista... unfortunately I am not a fan of Vista, so I installed the good old WXP.
    However, I forgot to burn a copy of the version of vista.

    Then I realized that there is no available xp driver by Satellite. So I installed vista drivers. Almost everything has worked, except the graphics drivers.
    My book, of course, now uses default windows graphics drivers, but now everything is distorted.
    Now my question: is there a way to recover Vista? Of course, I have a product key that I have acquired with the purchase of the laptop.
    I also have a Vista CD from my other computer, but it does not accept the product key for the laptop.

    Thanks for your help!

    PS: Sorry for the bad English ;)

    Product key will not help you. This key belongs to the recovery image, that you got with your laptop.
    In my opinion, you have two options:
    # original order Toshiba DVD recovery under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx or
    # install Vista using original Microsoft DVD facilities. All necessary drivers, tools and public services should be available on the Toshiba support page.

  • Cannot Flash the BIOS on Satellite L500 due to low battery

    Hey all,.

    Obtained as Satellite L500 (PSLS0A-084002) here. I have the battery not charging issue and everything what I find point to an update of the BIOS.

    Of course, there is a new BIOS for download from the drivers of laptops. So I have the file WinPhlash "sl500 (mv) _bios_w210.exe. However, by running the fact falling before flashing the BIOS with an error number: 144.

    It is because of the battery is bellow 10% charge however I can't it above 10 percent fee that the laptop does not recognize it.

    There must be a way of to WinPhlash running without check. I read that you can run it with the "/ forceit" switch and who will be ignoring the error, but that was for some time and it seems WinPhlash have changed this as she always spits the error.

    I read running back help but after creating a boot cd back, he claims the exe cannot be run from BACK (ffffuuuuuuuu!).

    Any help appreciated. Thank you =).

    Maybe it sounds silly now but there at - it something serious, why you want to update the BIOS on your machine? I mean if everything is OK, why do you need new BIOS?

    In any case, I'm don't know if this will help but please try to remove the battery and check if the update of the BIOS starts if your laptop works on AC only.

  • Satellite L500-1GK - can I change the graphics card?

    HEY! I need help

    I'm a graphic designer and use Satellite L500-1GK. I found that the VGA is not good enough. The resolution is not really good enough for a designer

    Manufacturer of the graphics card: Intel®
    type: Mobile Intel® GMA 4500 M
    memory: available total graphics memory can be up to 1 340 MB with 3 GB of memory and 32-bit operating system system or 1 759 MB with a 64 - bit OS system memory and 4 GB
    memory type: shared

    Is that what I can do to get the best resolution? Whatever he rib that I am able to change the VGA? is there a solution with that can you help me?

    Hello

    Unfortunately it is not possible to change the graphics card. It s fixed/soldered on the motherboard and can't be exchanged. Sorry, but it is not possible to s.

    But if you only need a better resolution of the screen, you can connect an external monitor. Here, you can work with a higher resolution if your monitor supports it.

  • 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?

    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. :)
