Satellite L500D - integrated webcam does not work properly

Hello world

I have a L500D (I got it for about 2 months now) and yesterday I realized that my webcam did not work properly even if it worked just fine a couple of days.

Here's the problem: when I turn it on (via Skype or through application of camera web toshiba), the colors are reversed: it's exactly like I had added an effect on the image as 'Posterize' or 'threshold '. Everything is bright, grainy, saturated...

I tried in low light and high, and the night mode is not on.
I couldn't solve the problem with the webcam settings, but regardless, I, can not do anywhere near a normal image.

I spent a lot of time surfing the web but couldn't find a solution (or someone with a similar problem, in fact). I have windows 7 64 bit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I run my laptop with a lot of care, which makes even more beat when something goes wrong... Thanks in advance!

  • On Satellite A300-1MX webcam does not work properly

    After my windows Vista system crashed 16 December 2011, I had made recovery.
    After that, I have not found any driver for the webcam on the computer laptop everything. On the Toshiba support page, I finally found the 1.7 version, but this does not at all!

    He always appears: driver Webcam open fails, restart the computer or the camera. Since it's built in camera I tried with the restart of the computer, but which did not help at all. So I tried with the option to repair the driver with Install Shield Wizard. The program has done something, but without success.

    So I uninstalled and reinstalled and it did not help at all!

    Someone has an idea?

    Hello

    Found an article in the knowledge base of Toshiba which describes this error and provides a solution to this problem.
    + Why displays the error message: "Webcam driver open fail. Restart the computer or the camera. » ? +
    + http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/OPT84026F0000R01.htm+

    But its related to Portege M600 and Satellite U300 only.
    However, you should also try to perform a BIOS update. After that, set the BIOS to default settings and save the changes. Then try to reinstall the software of webcam once more.

    You should also check the Device Manager. Here in Device Manager that the webcam should be recognized as a USB device, if this isn't the case, then it means that the webcam was not recognized by the OS and that means there could be a hardware problem

    As far as I know, the webcam is connected to the USB controller on the motherboard. If the cable connection is lost, then the webcam is not recognized in Device Manager; or as a USB device or an unknown device.

  • Satellite L775 - mouse pad does not work properly

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L775. I run Win 7 Home Premium. My mouse pad does not work properly. I also have a Logitech Anywhere MX wireless mouse. I tried the mouse pad to work properly with the key FN and F9, but it does not work. And you really have no idea if that turns or out of the mousepad anyway, subj for another time I guess.

    What does not work, but I have to do is to go to Control Panel then mouse option load that and just scroll the tabs without changing what each time and then close and the touch pad works. But only for this session. If I have my laptop nearby, or turn it off, I have to start throughout the whole process.

    What's past and how to fix this?

    Thank you very much.

    > What's past and how to fix this?

  • Satellite Pro M10 - infrared does not work properly

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro M10 and my infrared does not work. I downloaded the zip file with the drivers from this site. Then, I uninstalled and reinstalled, but it always happens in the Device Manager under "unknown - SMC IrCC - Fast Port infrared (IR Module: HP). (with an exclamation point). When I look at the properties it says under device status:

    This device does not work properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)

    Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.

    However, under Driver Details is said:
    C:\windows\system32\DRIVERS\smcirda.sys

    I extracted the zip file in my home directory of c:\downloads\infrared.
    whatever I do, it does not now. It worked when I bought it, but I have too many things on the system for a new installation. Which brings me to another question. Is it possible to re - install windows without losing all your data, etc.? I did it with other systems (95,98) Windows. But it seems that the Toshiba recovery disc means any wiping.

    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Chris

    Hello

    If your HARD disk contains two partitions and you have saved the data on a second you can reinstall the operating system on the first partition using recovery DVDs.

  • Satellite A300-1NO - webcam does not work, but the LED lights

    Hello!

    I have a laptop Satellite A300-1NO, with Win 7 installed. My problem is that my webcam does not work always, when I want to use it. Sometimes, it works perfectly in Skype, WLM etc... but sometimes I see a white or a black screen with a 'loading circle' in there. Blue is the LED light, I can see it in Device Manager too, but there is no picture, just 'loading '. I tried to uninstall the driver and then reinstall it, I installed the new "camera Assistant for Toshiba", without success.

    Is there any solution for this?

    > Is there any solution for this?
    I put t think there is solution for this. If I understand you right there is a problem with software pre-installed. It is not easy to say why this is happening.

    I have Satellite A300 too and use it with Win7 32 bit. Webcam works fine all the time.

    One more thing: have you noticed this problem in the first moments after installing Win7 or later?
    Have you installed something that may be the reason for this?

    If Facebook does not recognize your webcam right away when you want to share a video, click on the eye for cameras new button.

    Your Adobe Flash Player settings will be displayed.
    On the tab, make sure you only select the right type of camera you use with your computer.

    On the tab, you may also need to 'allow' Facebook to access your camera and microphone.

    If your settings does not work, try to uninstall Adobe Flash Player on your computer and download the latest Flash Player.

  • I have a new laptop and my integrated webcam does not work

    I need to get help fixing it. It's a brand new computer and the webcam does not work. When I try to access the program, it said that I need to plug a camera

    Hey amaury Muñoz.

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forum.

    1. can you please tell us the model number of your computer?

    2. is there a built in webcam or what is the model of your webcam?

    Can you please give us a little more detail on what is the specific error you get when you try to use the webcam?

    Check if you have the drivers installed for your webcam.

    As you say that it is a Dell computer, you will need to go on the http://support.dell.com website to download the driver of your webcam installed.

    Click on support and drivers.

    On the next page, it asks your name and your number.

    Select the exact model of your laptop.

    This will bring up the option to select your operating system. Choose Windows Vista or Windows Vista 64-bit.

    A webcam installed usually appears under the software - multimedia, but it may be different for your model.

    You can choose to install now or download. Once it is downloaded and installed, then test again to see if your integrated webcam works.

    You can also contact Dell for support, since this is a brand new computer. Here is a link to Dell's Support page options:

    What does it mean exactly when you say he won t work?
    You get an error message or only a black image? What model of laptop you have and that you use the Toshiba Windows 7 upgrade kit or a disc of Microsoft?

    At this moment I can only offers to install latest driver of the webcam of the official website of Toshiba. Make sure that this driver is released for Windows 7 and not Vista.
