Satellite Pro S300 - support poor driver Chicony USB 2.0 Camera

Hello

Driver Chicony camera isn't very good and has a bug. When you use something like Messenger Live you can not activate the 'night Mode' using the advanced settings of video that the parameter is not present in the pages of the adjustment. You can set "night" Mode on the camera Assistant software, but this has no effect when the device works on Messenger Live.

"Night mode" is almost essential for indoor use typical Chicony camera and without it, the picture is very dark and not otherwise usable.

If I use a Logitech camera, it is driver exposes much better settings in Messenger Live, which is equivalent to "night mode".

It this something Toshiba can feed at Chicony and get some better drivers?

Concerning

Phil

Hello

I managed to get the night mode working in Messenger.

(1) start Messenger and sign in to your contact and start sharing webcam as usual.
(2) launch the support in the menu and camera software, select the first option to preview video. The preview is not displayed and a message appears on the camera stuck in use.
3) click on the top of the key to the right icon, then select Properties.
(4) if the night mode is checked, uncheck it and click on apply, then apply it, the webcam is now in mode night in Messenger.

* Note *, go through image preview as the buggy driver software won't change the night Mode setting, if you go directly to the properties using the key icon in the menu from sliding.

What would be nice if Toshiba got a better driver support and night mode was selectable in properties exposed in Messenger.

The camera support and driver Chicony is one of the worst I've seen included in a laptop.

Phil

    Im having problems for my webcam to work on my Satellite Pro L300D laptop, its supposed to be for a Chicony b070.

    Thank you for your time

    Hello

    As you can see for days nobody anything post here. I think the reason is quite simple. Linux is not supported and most people use the preinstalled operating system.
    I think you should try to find the answer on the Ubuntu forum. Here you can meet people with good experience of Ubuntu.

    If you find a solution please let us know. All useful info may help others here.

  • Satellite Pro S300 - Windows 7 driver for touchpad?

    I just upgraded my S300 to Windows 7 (on a larger hard drive) and I noticed that the pilot of the original touchpad no longer works.

    He is originally a problem because I normally choose 'left-handed operation' on the mouse options. Win7 driver allows that "swap button mouse left/right '-making it removes the ability to click by pressing the touchpad (the pilot of"think"the computer uses a standard PS/2 mouse instead of a touchpad). I use 2 other laptops that are configured as 'Left-handed' so don't really want one that works differently.

    Do you know if there is another available driver - or even if there is another way to configure the touchpad by using standard Win7 drivers?

    (Unfortunately I can't access support information on the S300 in the section "My product" page - a "loading" icon follows a ser of tabs, but nothing to charge up).

    > I installed the latest Synaptics driver
    From where? I ve checked the Toshiba download page and can not find it offered for Win7 64 bit?
    Have you tried to install it to another laptop model?

  • Satellite Pro S300 - USB no longer works

    Hello
    I have a 6 month laptop Satellite Pro S300-100 and running Vista 32 bit. He got 4 USB slots, 1 handset that works on the left side and 3 USB2 connectors right side and these 3 suddenly stopped working. I tried different connections, memory stick, external drive, USB mouse, but they are all dead.

    I've tried deactivited and operated them, no change. I checked the ports and the response of the system are that they are involved.

    I had a similar problem earlier on a Tecra 9000 a few years ago and the replaced the motherboard.

    Anyone has a solution, please?

    Hello!

    Do you have the yellow marks in Device Manager?

    I think that there is a hardware problem. Contact an ASP (authorized service provider) to repair your laptop.

  • Satellite Pro S300 EZ1514 - could not initialize Solid State Drive (SSD)

    I have a Satellite Pro S300 EZ1514.

    Recently I bought a SATA II 64 GB SSD to replace hard drive current cavalry. I first tried to install XP with SATA drivers rationalized in.
    The installation process recognized the SSD and has the original file copied to it, but when it restarted to continue the installation process the system wouldn't boot from the drive.

    Then I tried to install Vista Business 64 from the recovery disk came with the laptop.
    After launching the recovery disc, the said installation process the hard drive has not been initialized and click OK to initialize now.
    After clicking OK to initialize the system not restarted that at the end pointing upwards on the screen telling me to initialize the hard disk.

    Then I tried initializing the disk manually on my desk.
    Plugged into my office, initialized and formatted in NTFS. Plugged into the laptop to retry recovery Vista. And once again the same screen appears. Reconnect the disk SSD the Office to see that the player has is more initialized and was to be initialized again.

    Then I gave up and installed the SSD on my desktop under master boot and installed perfectly fine with XP. For testing purposes I then handed the ssd with XP pre-installed in the cell to see what happens. To my dismay the computer laptop would not boot and on top of that when I put the SSD drive in the desktop only to see that the drive has been initialized is no longer and I had to reinstall XP again.

    Conclusion:
    It seems that the Satellite Pro S300 series is not easy SSD and just post it self off Initialise the Solid State Drives.
    This seems to be the logical conclusion that the SSDS works perfectly well on my desktop and the laptop is fine now with the old turntable hard back in.

    Does anyone else have this problem or a solution?
    I would still put the SSD in my laptop to save energy.

    Hello

    The laptop is equipped with common serial ATA HDD.
    The SSD might work, but is not a must.

    There are several different SSD on the market and a problem of compatibility of equipment can always happen.
    Maybe an other SSD would work properly, but these are just suggestions.

  • Satellite Pro S300 - HDD in caddy is not recognized by BIOS

    I replaced the original HARD drive and installed a new SSD that works very well.
    Installed the W7Pro and all updates.

    I do not use my burner so I replaced the CD drive and installed a shopping cart with my old HDD to have more disk space.

    When I start my laptop, I see a message of ERROR of CD-ROM.
    In Device Manager the caddy and or the HARD drive is not displayed.

    I tried to change settings in the BIOS (according to Toshiba utility the latest version), but even in the Bios is no information about this SSD or HARD drive installed. (or the CD player when I re - install this drive again)

    What's not here? Do I need a BIOS updated allowing the 2nd HARD drive?
    Or if I forget a setting somewhere?

    NB in the BIOS HARD drive drive settingis according to ACPI, the list below it is referred to as IDE device.
    When I enter the BIOS IDE instead of ACPI, I still see the CD-ROM ERROR when starting and after this message, the screen is blue and no other activity.

    > What is the problem here? Do I need a BIOS updated allowing the 2nd HARD drive?
    > Or if I forget a setting somewhere?

    To my knowledge, not all laptops support a 2nd HDD rather than the ODD (optical disc)

    Also, not all CD/DVD drives are compatible and could be used for all laptops.

    So agree with the user above and I think it's the problem of compatibility also.

  • Satellite Pro S300: modem 3G & Toshiba Wireless Manager Update

    I received through Toshiba Tempro an update for my Toshiba Satellite Pro S300 (W7 32-bit) for a 3 G modem and Toshiba Wireless Manager.
    After the State Manager is installed, there is not such a modem.

    This laptos has a build-in modem, where can I put a SIM card in?
    Otherwise how to install a SIM card in this laptop to have internet access anywhere where I'm going?

    Hello

    TEMPRO shows a downloaded driver information!
    The point is that laptops are equipped with different hardware components and not all models support the same hardware specification.
    Maybe your S300 has not been equipped with 3G modem but other S300 support 3G.

    However, you can check device manager if a 3G device is in the list

  • Satellite Pro S300 - 11 H: charging not not after re-installation of software

    My laptop has been "reset" by a Virus called AdwCleaner last week removal tool (CAUTION - do NOT run it on your laptop - if could ruin your life!)  :(

    In any case, the result of it was that I had to take it to a repair shop where they were unable to restore Windows XP I had used since I got the machine, and so they have had to re - install the original Windows Vista which was the OS when I bought it. (I bought a "downgrade" to XP disc with the laptop)

    Until that happened, the charging of the battery and everything worked well, but since I'll be back my laptop from the store, battery does not charge.

    When I hover over the right low battery icon, it says "3% available, battery not charging".
    The battery is OK, because if I unplug the power cable, the laptop stays on.

    Is there some setting somewhere that is revealing the machine do not recharge the battery?
    How can I get it back to normal?

    See you soon,.
    Select this option.

    I also recommend you to check the Device Manager.
    In Device Manager, expand battery area.
    Here, you must first uninstall the

    -Microsoft AC adapter
    -Battery composite Microsoft

    Reboot the laptop.
    Check how to work the battery charging process
    In the case where they would find the new hardware (these would be three uninstalled devices from Device Manager) wait until the system has installed the driver, reboot once again and check the load

    It is not listed under programs and features, so I can't uninstall it from there.

    I downloaded util_tam_uninstall_TC00240000B.exe and run it without success.

    Any suggestions?

    > It does not appear in programs and features, so I can't uninstall it from there.

    I can't believe that if the utility is installed, it should appear in the box programs and features.
    On the other hand also the fingerprint driver is installed
    So, you can check if you need to uninstall the driver of the fingerprint of the Device Manager.
