Satellite Pro L510 - question webcam - initialization failed

Hello.

I got my Satellite Pro L510 since February and the integrated webcam works perfectly until last week when I went to turn it on, but it came with the message "camera Web initialiation has failed.

Please check your device and restart the application or your computer. »
I then spent countless times, trying to find the problem, and I conclluded to the device itself, while the microphone works very well (which I thought was an attachment with the webcam).

This confuses me for many reasons.

Why was my camera works perfectly and then one day my computer can not recognize it? What has gone wrong?
How should I do?

Useful suggestions, answers or any reccomendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

It is not easy to say what the problem is there but what you can try is to remove the Camera Assistant software system and after restarting the laptop installed the last driver of the webcam, you can find for your laptop model on the Toshiba download page

  • Can I upgrade to Windows 7 on Satellite Pro L510

    Hello. I recently bought a Satellite Pro L510.

    It came with a program to upgrade Windows 7 with PSLFFL-002002 part number, which shows that they are eligible for the upgrade of windows to windows 7.

    However, when my windows 7 cd came and when I tried to install it, there was a notice saying that my model is not eligible to upgrade to windows 7. When I referred to the given site 'http://support.toshiba-tie.co.jp/windows7/mlist_sp.htm' I noticed the L510 Satellite Pro series is not found in the list.

    Later, I called the center of Contact from Toshiba for re - confirm whether or not L510 pro series can be upgraded to win 7, and the person told me to reformat my laptop to factory settings. He said that I should refer to 'http://pc.toshiba-asia.com/portal/public/win7/specs.jsp?model=proL510' instead in regards to laptops for the upgrade of windows.

    However before I reformat my laptop I clarify / re - confirm L510 Satellite Pro can be upgraded to win 7. I don't want to reformat my laptop for nothing.

    Hope someone could help me.

    Thank you.

    I don't know how it works in Asia or with Asian laptops but the fact is that all new laptops are designed for Win7 and I see no single reason for your laptop are not upgradeable to Win7.

    Asian laptop models are not known to me, but I did not understand in your ad which OS came preinstalled as factory condition. Your laptop came with Vista pre-installed and you have upgrade you DVD Win7 or what?

    AFAIK preinstalled Vista can be improved using Win7 upgrade DVD and after upgrade you must not activate it. It will be automatically activated.

    So please be so kind and explain to us exactly what you want to do and how you want to do.

  • How restore Satellite Pro L510?

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L510, I bought in February 2011, in Australia.
    I had no problems with it up until I tried to run a wifi usb modem with Vodafone. It worked fine for a few months until a couple of weeks. It's the connection but not to open the pages. I've been to the Vodafone store and they have run tests and told me it's nothing wrong with the modem, but with the computer. They said that I need to restore? or get back them?

    I have no idea how to do this... I did a backup via the "maintenance" menu system And then I did a restore via the advanced restore options, but he did nothing. Exactly, he went back to what he was doing before.
    Is there another way to clean the computer?

    Thanks in advance!

    > They said I need to restore? or get back them?

  • Satellite Pro L510 - crashes and blue screen

    Hello
    I am a new user of the Toshiba Satellite Pro L510, since last September, barely 3 months.
    Recently, had met 2 crashes (2nd is today s). As it happened today, there are blue screen that appears, which included messages like 'crash', 'written' physical memory... etc.

    In addition to send it for repair for this new laptop, I don't know what is the best way to manage this accident and what might be the best way to prevent this accident.

    Recently I installed programs such as Microsoft SQL Server 2008, anti-virus program (Sophos), which I think are necessary (the first was for my studies as well).

    Would appreciate any pointers to advise me if these could be the causes of the accident, and that I have to do to keep the better laptop or y at - it any generic deficiency maybe I should take notes.

    Thanks in advance for any advice for this laptop.
    Kind regards

    Hey,.

    First of all, I must say it is very difficult to say whether this problem is software or hardware related, but in most cases these accidents are caused by software or drivers...

    I put t know how many programs you have installed, what OS you use and if there are compatibility problems, but you can test it yourself: Toshiba start recovery disc recovery facility. After that, you have the same settings that you have purchased.

    You should examine it a little these parameters. If everything is ok, it was just a problem software or driver. ;)

  • Satellite Pro L510 (PSLGXA-002002) lights at 09:50.

    Hello. My Satellite Pro L510 (PSLGXA-002002) on automatically every morning at about 09:50.
    He does Hibernate, sleep or death. AC or battery, he'll do it on either.

    I have Windows 7 64 bit and the BIOS update v.1.1.

    Also Ubuntu is a total failure on this computer, cannot even get a boot cd or usb to work, if anyone has any advice on that, I would be grateful.

    Hello

    I had a similar problem my laptop turns on itself so I turned off in the BIOS the following as suggested here in the forum:
    Wake up on LAN
    Wake on keyboard
    Sleep USB & Charge

    Take a look in the BIOS for these parameters and test again.

    In addition, you must wait for a new version of the BIOS. On another model of laptop, this problem was solved by new BIOS. :)

    Hello

    May I ask why you switched the WLAN card? Something was wrong with your old WLAN or why you did that?

    The WLAN feature was working before the upgrade?

    I can say with certainty why you get this message error, but to me it seems that the WLAN card is not activated, you permit wireless network adapter using the FN + F8 key combination?

    Hi Jan,

    I had the same question as my webcam didn't work and so I reinstalled the driver for the webcam that could solve my problem. You can download it here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    But I recommend to remove the old version first. Then use CCleaner to clean the registry and then you can install the latest version on the Toshiba site.

    Toshiba laptop recording you can remove from Control Panel > Add/Remove programs.

    Hello

    In your case, I would try to install the latest driver for the webcam of Toshiba. Install this driver and try again. Also, make sure that this latest version of the BIOS is installed for your laptop.

    In addition, it would be interesting to know if the same problem happens on Vista. You should try it with the factory settings. So that you can identify if it s a hardware or software problem.
