Satellite L655 - not accessible by webcam software

I have a new Satellite L655 with win7 64 bit OS.
My webcam is suddenly is no longer accessible by a number of software (Skype and similar).

No idea how I can find out if it is a software or hardware problem (if the webcam is fried for some reason, or if something was wrong with his driver)?

Thank you!

Hello

Able to use the webcam, you run the software of webcam Toshiba?

If so, then the material of the webcam is ok
As a general rule I don t believe that this problem could be related to a hardware problem.
I think that the problem of software. Maybe different applications try to access the webcam at the same time, maybe it s locked by another application

Have you tried to reinstall the webcam driver software?
If this is not the case, to do this.
First uninstall the software. Reboot the laptop.
Then download the new version of the European driver Toshiba page and install this.

Maybe it helps.

  • Satellite L655 - does not detect the webcam

    Dear forum,

    I am new user of the Satellite L655... I just got about 1 month ago. I don't know why, but I can't use my webcam. Whenever I try to use it for Skype or yahoo messenger, it cannot detect my webcam.

    Is something wrong, and what should I do? Can someone help me solve this problem?

    Thank you for your help,

    Best regards
    Yogi...

    Hey Buddy,

    What happens if you start the webcam software? It recognizes the webcam?
    Important point is that if you want to use the webcam with Skype or other programs, webcam software shouldn't start because the two programs try to access the webcam. So close to first the webcam software.

    Last but not least, I would recommend reinstalling the driver from Toshiba Web site:

    So hardware webcam seems to be OK.

    > But now I see my friends, but they cannot see me, even the webcam does not appear on my screen
    Have you checked the settings of applications only cat?

  • Satellite L655 - plugged, but not charging

    Hello

    I have an a computer Satellite L655 laptop and it worked very well to the top until there's a week, where all of a sudden it shows the message: 'PLUGGED in NO CHARGE.

    After a bit of troubleshooting, I tried many things including the battery removal and runs directly to the a/c power. Everything seemed normal from a mechanical point of view.

    However, after having also updated the driver software of all 3 components of the battery (found by Device Manager), the only thing that works every time, but is quickly reversed, is actually uninstall 'compatible Microsoft ACPI control method battery'.

    First of all, I don't know what this is... but I can't have to do each day in order to get my laptop to load. I can't always have a power when I need to use my laptop... can someone please help me know what on Earth has happened to my laptop and what I can do to fix it permanently?

    Thank you very much

    Anelia

    Hmm, you could try to remove this compatible Microsoft ACPI control method battery and could change the automatic installation of the driver for the device.
    1. Click Start, right-click computer and then click Properties.
    2. in the list of tasks, click Advanced system settings.
    3. in the System Properties dialog box, click the Hardware tab, and then click Windows Update driver settings.
    4. Select never check for drivers automatically when I connect a device.
    5. click OK twice, and then close the system dialog box.

    Now the driver for control method battery Microsoft ACPI-complaint should not automatically install.

    But I guess this isn't a better solution for you, but probably only system restore would help solve this problem.

    Otherwise, it could be a battery problem and this means that the battery must be replaced.

  • Device Intel WLan 6230 USB not recognized in Satellite L655 running Win8

    I installed the Intel Centrino card 6230 WLAN for laptop Toshiba Satellite L655 of my wife (introduced to my HP laptop, but due to their allow list, it does not start... but it's another story).

    Wifi works a treat, and I'm pulling in a little more speed of 100 mb/s (http://www.speedtest.net/result/2328501761.png) to connect to my router dual band 5 GHz.

    I get a warning balloon will appear in the system tray saying "Device not recognized USB" (http://imageshack.us/f/208/intel62301.jpg/).

    I followed various supposed fixes, including the removal of the drivers, as you can see from the photo I've already done. As I'm under Windows 8 Pro 64 bit as soon as I restart the WLAN driver is automatically re-established.

    I tried to install the drivers several times, but I always get the error message as below: -.

  • Satellite A300-1MC: webcam not working no-webcam driver open failed

    After looking through this forum, I tried many "solutions" but to no avail.

    After trying to load the webcam, I get the message: "Webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer.

    I tried to update the software driver for the camera and updated the BIOS.

    I hope someone can help,

    Thank you

    > Is it the camera attemtping completely uninstalling then reinstalling?
    Of course!

    You should first go to Device Manager and need to uninstall the driver.
    You must also remove the software from Control Panel-> software

    After that, you must clean the BONES and the registry using CCleaner. It s tool free google
    Then restart the laptop several times and reinstall the webcam software.

  • C855 satellite - cannot install the webcam software

    Hello

    yesterday, I uninstall my webcam TOSHIBA HD because it does not work and now I can not re installed it, and I have no camera on my laptop.

    How can I install the "TOSHIBA Web Camera HD?

    Thanks for the reply

    > How can I install the "TOSHIBA Web Camera HD?

    There is no magic installation procedure.
    Just download the Toshiba webcam software, unzip the and run the exe file.
    All that s.

    If this does not work, your webcam module may be defective.

    You can see a webcam in Device Manager? He listed as a devie marked yellow exclamation or unknown?

    Also check the settings in the BIOS (BIOS-> advanced-> configuration of the system) if the webcam is enabled.

  • Webcam on Satellite L655 shows a very blurry picture

    Hi guys

    I bought Toshiba Satellite L655-158 last Sunday. Just checked the webcam. Used via Skype and everyone complains about the quality of the image. I tried to use an another older Dell laptop on the same internet connection (because I know that could have been because of the internet connection speed), but the picture quality on this one was very good.

    I'm tempted to return the laptop but I thought I'll check if there is a solution available on this forum.

  • Satellite Pro M76E - CD player does not recognize blank CD D:\ is not accessible

    Hello.

    Just recently, my satellite pro m76e ceased to recognize blank CDs. If I stick a CD it recognizes that it is a CD, but if I click, it throws an error message indicating that "D:\ is not accessible. Incorrect function. "I tried the search for driver updates but couldn't find one, and toshiba sites says you don't need additional drivers for the internal CD drives.

    The drive works fine for everything else. It's just empty CD. Any advice would be welcome.

    See you soon. Dan

    Hello

    One question; Why you want to read a blank CD? ?:|
    As you say all the CD and DVD is recognized, but only the blank CD cannot be read.

    Regarding the driversa? ... you're right, the update of the driver is not necessary and is not possible because the Windows operating system uses a clean Microsoft drivers to run the ODD.

    But have you already checked these threads?

  • Satellite L655 does not load

    Hello

    My satellite L655 does not load, BUT it works fine when I charge the battery of my second toshiba laptop
    also does not open when I plug just the charger without the battery (led power 3min.from-no at all)

    charger works fine
    battery works very well
    tested on my other toshiba

    It works when I plug a charged battery ready.

    Any guys help?

    > It doesn't work when I plug a charged battery ready.

    It seems that there is a problem with electronic control gear.
    I mean that the laptop does not work even if plugged into the sector.
    It is certainly a problem given that all laptops would work without battery connected but connected to the power outlet.

    So I think there is a problem with the electronics which is part of the main map.
