• Satellite A200 - driver Open Webcam fail

  Hello

  My Satellite A200 recently dead boot disc and I had it replaced. Vista was placed in this framework through restoration SOE from Toshiba. Now the Webcam is not working, it gives the following error when starting the machine:

  "Driver Webcam Fail open. Please restart camera or computer. »

  I tried to install the latest updates of the Chicony driver but still no luck

  also, I found a lot of information through google about problems of registry entry with the installer on this issue. They recommend a rather complicated registry hack to fix it. I want to find an installer that works rather than hack the registry

  can someone advise me? Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Well, if you have already updated the driver for the webcam, I would recommend updated the BIOS too. The latest version is available for download on the Toshiba site. Before you download, compare the model number, if the update supports your laptop!

  If it doesn t work I think there seems to be a hardware malfunction, maybe the webcam cable must be renewed or something else. I think that the best option would be to contact a technician laptop for diagnosis.

• Satellite L300 - driver Open Webcam fail. Restart the computer or the camera

  Hello

  I recently bought a new Satellite L300 under Windows Vista Home Premium SP1. The Webcam worked fine for a few days and then the next time I booted up Vista, I get the following error "Webcam driver open fail, please restart camera or computer. Since the computer is new I reformatted to see if it wasn t a program is blocking something.

  Reformat 2 times and the error still ride on the installation of the Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba. I downloaded the update from Toshiba support file but still the same error. The funny thing is that the Device Manager does not detect even the webcam. There is no registration for the webcam. How will I know that it is a hardware problem? Does anyone have experience with this problem?

  The store that I bought it offered to give me a new, but do not have any in stock, so I have to wait 3 weeks.

  Thank you

  Hello

  The webcam must be listed in the Device Manager. It s not called not webcam but you should find it in the imagery of the devices-> USB video device

  The webcam should work fine. Usually after installing the webcam software, you should find the webcam software in the MSCONFIG-> startup
  If the webcam is listed here then that would mean that the software/driver webcam still load during a laptop boot procedure.

  In some cases there could be a compatibility issue between this software and a 3rd party applications like MS messenger or Skype for example.

  In your case, I recommend you to disable the webcam and other applications such as MS messenger or Skype software in MSCONFIG-> startup.
  Then clean the BONES and the registry using the CCLeaner.

  I also recommend the Vista update to the last State. All fixes and patches must be installed!

  Finally if you want to use the webcam then you could start the software manually.
  Exe file must be placed in Camera Assistant Software.

  Best regards

  There are several threads about this on this forum and other boards of Directors through Google, not only related to this model, well than many other Toshibas. Is there a fix of Toshiba? As the problem seems so widespread there should be.

  I use XP Pro. I've updated the BIOS and the software of the webcam without solving the problem.

  Thanks in advance.

• Satellite A300 - driver Open Webcam fail

  Hello

  I'm Dr. Ahmed Maher, and I have a problem with my Toshiba laptop. This is the Satellite A300

  The problem is in my webcam. When I try to use the webcam, a message of "driver webcam open fail.please restart the computer or the cam.
  I downloaded the driver from the toshiba site. I reinstalled the driver but the same message appeared. I had updated the BIOS. The same problem. I did a cover for my laptop using the recovery DVD. Not at all, the same problem

  Please help me solve this problem
  Thank you for the care
  Dr. Ahmed

  Hi Dr. Ahmed,

  If your webcam doesn't work after installing Windows Toshiba Recovery disk I think that it s related to the defective material. I mean you have ever tried to update the BIOS and the driver of the webcam but that s all you can do.

  So I would recommend contacting your local authorized service provider people. I think they can help you can exchange the webcam if it of necessary.

• Satellite L300 - driver Open Webcam fail on Windows XP

  I know this is a common problem, I've been on this forum for days and found no solution. I have a satellite L300 PSLB8E, I lowered from VISTA to windows XP. I downloaded the drivers from your Web site, camera Assistant, but he says failure of webcam driver restart the computer or camera. That never solved the problem. Are there 2 different drivers, given that your site has only one, IE one for the camera and the other for the software? I have uninstalled, reinstalled, deleted the driver control panel, reinstalled, nothing works.

  Someone please end my misery by giving a clear answer to this question and many others.

  Thank you

  Try to update the BIOS. You can find it on the Toshiba site:

• Satellite P200 - 157 BIOS update failed - need help

  Hello

  I bought a P200-157 to my son in summer 2007.

  He started the update in windows mode.
  Unfortunalety, the upgrade stopped during the backup previous version. The laptop was frozzen.

  It never boot from the problem of the tha.
  I'm tying to create a crisis, but recovery disk it of seem to exist different versions of PHLASH16. EXE.

  Do any of you know if crisis mode-recorery is available for laptop P200?
  What version of PHLAS16. EXE is required and in what mode the disk has to be create (native DOS mode)?

  I bought a USB external floppy drive and try the last days, but unsuccefully.

  Kind regards. Yves (France).

  Hi dude

  That s a pity :(
  The update of the BIOS is always a tricky process and there is always a small piece of risk.
  Usually, if the BIOS update has failed then you need a help of a technician of the ASP.

  The point is that you would need an update of the traditional BIOS to reflash the chip for the BIOS again.
  But the Toshiba driver page provides only the victory of the BIOS which can be updated only from Windows OS-based.

  Therefore, you will need to contact a local ASP which might help you.

  Dude good luck

• Satellite P200: Cannot open the Power Saver - fatal error in Windows XP Home edition

  Hello

  I just installed XP and I came across a problem that is boring. When I finished to install Power Saver and the driver, I got a message saying fatal error and I thought it was because I haven't restarted. Then, after only a day or 2 later I went to the energy saver and he said cannot open because you don't have access rights to "Toshiba Power Saver.

  Is there a solution to this
  Neo-Tech

  Hello

  I put t know if this is a solution but try my proposal:
  First of all, remember that you are registered as an administrator or make sure that you have administrator rights.

  Remove your old system energy saving. You must remove the driver and utility.
  Then reinstall the computer and clean the registry using the freeware like CCleaner.

  Then install the driver of saver of power and after reboot the new install standby power plant.

  I hope it helps

• Satellite A300-1FP - webcam Chicony Win 7 64 bit - driver open failed

  Greetings

  I recently did a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit on my Toshiba Satellite A300 1FP. I was surprised how well it went. The only thing missing was a Windows 7 for a Chicony Webcam driver. A number of people on these forums have suggested the use of 64 bit Vista driver. I tried several times to do this work. I deleted the entry of startup, deleted and resinstalled the driver from Device Manager, etc. Everything I found on these forums that I have tried.

  None of this works. I keep getting the error message "failure of the Webcam driver open. Please restart camera or computer. »

  Even with the 'camera' Wizard the Chicony camera is really terrible. A I know before I bought the machine, I would have chosen otherwise. Too late now. Without the wizard, you only have the driver supplied with Windows 7 that allows you to use the camera, but unless you have quality Hollywood light video is so dark it is almost unusable. The "camera assistant" had at least one dose of reminder for darker rooms.

  I don't know why Toshiba never used this device in the first place.
  There are a lot of people with this same exact problem seeking help in the forums for their system.

  If anyone knows how to handle this I'd appreciate it really your. Toshiba, if you listen, what were you thinking?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-276 with integrated webcam.
  The operating system that came when it was purchased windows vista, but lately for some reasons, had to format and then took the time to install win 7 (32-bit).

  But the webcam is not working.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  It is a typical software problem
  I read a lot of discussion on this error message and in most cases, new installation/update driver does the job!

  Please ensure that you use the latest version of the BIOS.
  Go to the Device Manager, then go to imaging devices.
  You can find the USB video device it's plays.

  This remove from the Device Manager list. Alternatively, you can uninstall the driver
  Restart the device, and then try to install the driver again

  Please make sure you use the latest webcam software... you can choose the published software for Satellite L500 too!
