• Satellite U400-119 - battery not recognized

  Hello

  I just bought a laptop TOSHIBA Satellite U400-119. The operating system is Windows Vista Home basic.
  Before I turned on the laptop, I plugged on the CC adapter and let the batteries reload for 24 hours.

  However, after 24 hours, battery LED icon is orange and blinks (which means that the battery is low according to the user manual).
  When I tried to turn on the laptop without the adapter DC laptop computer did not respond. So I installed Vista while the laptop was still connected to the DC adapter.

  After installation, the Vista battery icon displays a red cross on the battery icon, which means that it is not recognized.
  This is a brand new laptop so I think the battery needs to be replaced, but I don't know.

  Someone at - it had a similar problem?
  Any sollutions to my problem?

  Thanks in advance!

  A display really interesting because one of my friends got the laptop U400 and a similar one issued what s happened too.
  Suddenly, the battery did not recognize I thought that it s a malfunction of the battery. But I was wrong.

  The solution is very easy.
  You must update the BIOS and this should help get rid you of this strange issue.
  My friend did the same thing and it worked!

  So check it out. Download the BIOS compatible and right and update!

  Good bye

• Satellite P300D-110 integrated webcam does not work properly.

  Hi all

  as the title suggests, the webcam built-in in my Toshiba Satellite P300D-110 does not work correctly. Allow me to explain. Using the camera Assistance software I can take pictures and record music. If I try to record a video preview screen comes black and the end result on black, pitch black aswell tuns.

  Whenever I try to use my camera with applications such as MSN Live Messenger, Skype or on community websites, using Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari the app crashes.

  * How what happened? *

  You tell me. That's how it happened;
  * 1st day: I booted up my laptop and looked at my installation fresh and clean Windows vista Home premium. I tried my webcam using the webcam support software and it worked like a charm.
  * Day 2: once I start my laptop and try to start my webcam only to find out that he is no longer functions.
  To give a quick summary of the thread;

  Help of camera Assistance software provided by Toshiba, can I take pictures.
  Help of camera Assistance software provided by Toshiba, I can record the sound.
  Using camera Assistance software provided by Toshiba I can _ * NOT * _ save or preview of a video.
  * I can't start my camera using any other application such as, but not limited to; MSN Live Messenger, Skype, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safar.
  * I downloaded and isntalled the latest drivers on the Toshiba site.
  Portable listen is on a weekday.

  I'm not sure what more I can do, all I want is for the webcam works, if someone can help me please do.
  And if possible WITHOUT having to reinstall Windows Vista Home Premium.
  I have not yet used and would not do as a solution to all the problems that might occur in the future.

  Sincerely,

  a sad customer.

  Camera Assistance software using provided by Toshiba I can't save or preview of a video.
  Can you please describe the steps how you try to do this? I have to ask you this question because it works fine on my laptop. When the recording is finished Player opens and you can see saved the film. This is the avi format and at the top of this player, you can see the path where the film is recorded.

  Strangest thing for me, is that you can not use it with Skype. OK for MSN is not perfect, but there is absolutely no problem with Skype. Make sure the settings and it should work somehow.

• Now satellite A500-1GL - integrated webcam does not work

  Hi all

  I had a corrupted hard drive, replace a mounted at this point. But the Web cam software is not the case to be seen.

  I used the search function but I can't find anything.

  Please can someone advise me if I can get the software needed to make it work again? Webcam is necessary for the job and I would rather get an external, when the webcam is integrated.

  Thanks in advance guys, please ask any questions you need on that.

  Creigo

  Hello Creigo

  Usually after replacing HARD drive as a whole OS must be installed so I put t understand what you did exactly.
  If you installed the original recovery image that you got with your webcam for laptop software must be there. If not you can download it from the download page of Toshiba - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  Check it out.

• Satellite U400-17 - photo webcam is dark

  Nice day!

  It has been a problem since I bought this laptop. I m having a problem with the brightness of my webcam, it s already on the maximum, but still it s not as bright as other webcams. Whenever I use it, I need an extra light or I use a shade just to make my brighter cam. I already have the settings to set this cam but it s dark.

  I m wondering why other units, even if the light is off, their webcams work very ok, clear sound again. I put t know if it s other adjustments to make but for me, I've tried. Hope you can solve this problem as soon as I can fully enjoy using my laptop, please email me [email protected].

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  Firstly, you must ensure that you are using the latest driver for the webcam. Therefore, you can see the Toshiba page for an update you must install:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Don t forget to check out the parameters of the webcam again. I founded this interesting article:

• Satellite U400 - driver Open Webcam fail

  If I try to use the webcam, I get the message: «Webcam driver open fail...» »

  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.

  Hey Buddy,

  It seems that the forum t doesn't contain enough discussions about this...

  Please use the forum search. You will find the sufficient number of threads you can do like this:

  If it doesn t work try to contact an authorized service provider. Maybe it s a loose connection or something else that must be checked and repaired

  The error message is coming: 'other software using the webcam.

  I have a U400 too and I m using the internal webcam with Skype.
  It s works perfectly!

  But my software does not load automatically. I disabled in the msconfig.
  Software doesn't need to be loaded automatically in order to get it in MSM or Skype.
  So I recommend to disable auto-start.

• Satellite T130: integrated webcam has stopped working

  Hi, I have the same problem of the bellows of the question, as I looked around and I was not able to find the answer I need.
  I have a Satellite T130 and, suddenly, the integrated webcam has stopped working properly. A blue light is on, but there is no picture. What can I do?
  Thank you

  Hi mate

  I have the same problem, sometimes using my U400.
  This happens if the room is dark for the camera.
  If something like this happens to you that I recommend that you keep your finger in front of the webcam for a short period.
  After that, the image of the webcam should come back again in my case it worked.

• Webcam/mic on Satellite C660-119 - how to make it work?

  Try to get this working integrated webcam. The laptop for a few years, but never used this function before. I have Skype which does not seem to detect it. Can't see anything in the Device Manager on webcam or image or whatever it is and in program files under Toshiba all there is "Indicator of wireless LAN", and nothing on a cam or a microphone, sound as if it does not exist. After searching around, I found I could use some some drivers, and so I downloaded this so-called TC30295700E (which I think is what I had), I installed and no difference seems to be made. Webcam completely without being detected by the laptop even if integrated its... been at this for a few hours now, I am missing something here?

  Edit: Sorry I should clarify, I am running Windows 7.

  Edit 2: Should also add that "Imaging Devices" is not found on Device Manager.

  Any help appreciated, thanks

  According to specification laptop Satellite C660-119 with PSC0LE-01100JEN part number does not have a cam so I m wondering not you can not get it work if cam doesn t exist.

• Satellite R630 - integrated webcam does not

  Hello

  I hope someone can help me.

  My built-in webcam on my Toshiba Satellite R630 spontaneously stopped working in the last two weeks.

  I tried:

  -Check if it is enabled in the BIOS and there is no option to select a webcam here.
  -Restore my laptop computer to a previous state when the camera worked. This no longer works.
  -Updated the driver for the webcam - it installs the driver but then it disappears and nothing happens.

  A few things that it might help to know:

  -In Device Manager, "imaging devices" are missing, so I can't find the driver for the webcam here.
  -J' used to get a pop-up whenever I turned on my laptop which was loading a webcam bluetooth but saying that he could not. This stopped happening; I think I turned it off in msconfig.
  -It is not a hardware problem
  -Yesterday, I had a weird time breakthrough - I downloaded an app on my phone to try to use it as a webcam through bluetooth. I had activated bluetooth on my phone and laptop. I plugged my phone into my laptop and the pop-up the camera bluetooth (see previous point) came, but this time worked without the error message. However, instead of my phone works like a webcam, the blue light came next to my integrated webcam and who has started working. I thought it was fixed then all closed and ejected my phone and webcam stopped working again. I tried to repeat this sequence, but with no joy.

  I'm really frustrated and ideas. Can anyone help?

  Hello

  If imagine device isn't listed in Device Manager, it means that the module is not found. Even if the driver is not installed, the module must be included in the BIOS as imagine device, unknown device, etc.
  But this isn't the case

  So I think there are two possibilities: the module's fault or the connection between the module and the motherboard (Controller) isn t put in place.

  As far as I know the internal webcam module is connected to the USB controller.
  If the connection drops (cable) the module will not be recognized in Device Manager

  From my point of few, it must be a nuisance material

• Satellite U400 - the webcam no longer works

  Hello guys here is my sudden probloema!
  A year ago I bought a laptop
  TOSHIBA - Satellite U400
  with s.o. WinVista 32-bit and webcam built-in chicony etc...
  Last year, everything worked properly, but since a few days, the webcam no longer works.
  Whenever I try to open it, a message from the cam of management software that says "Webcam driver open fail, please reboot or the computer room.

  I tried to do all this: aggioronato and downloaded the drivers from toshiba, uninstalled the program and re installed the webcam...! notebook bios set to day...! useless!
  the strange thing... Although going into Device Manager... the webcam is not there...! But if the launch seems open just then check what caz... Caveat!

  Gan you help me?
  Graziee

  If the cam is not listed in the devices (imaging devices) Manager, this normally means that the hardware is defective. It is possible that there is problem with the cable of the cam. Try to bring back the screen and check if the cam will be recognized again.

• Satellite A200: after updated to malfunction of software webcam Win7.

  Someone suggested to install the drivers of motherboard chipset OK for my laptop model.
  If so, how do you that?

  Meanwhile, the integrated Webcam does not work and will not install the driver for the Webcam updates.
  Forgive my ignorance, can anyone help?

  Hello

  First thing you need to do is to identify your complete model number that you will find at the bottom of your laptop.

  Then, go to the following site and fill out the form:

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  Download the following files:

  -Chipset driver
  -Toshiba Value Added Package
  -Driver Chicony webcam

  Before installing the files downloaded, you need to remove all previous installations of your webcam (from programs and features in Control Panel of Windows 7)
  First install the chipset driver, then install Toshiba Value Package added after installing the driver for webcam.

  It will be useful.

  Can anyone recommend settings camera property? Hue, saturation, Brightness, Contrast.thx

  and finally and above all, where can I find the latest driver for my webcam.

  Oh sorry, I forgot to mention, I got a U400-15e.

  THX guys :D

  Satellite U400-15 belongs to the series of PSU44E and this series is listed on the page of the European driver Toshiba there is all of the available drivers and tools.

  Webcam:
  I've got U400 also it s not exactly the same model, but my U400 is equipped with webcam too and it works great.
  You can change some settings in the properties of the webcam software.
  I recommend that you turn on night Mode if your room is dark and backlight compensation.
  In addition, all my Image settings are set by default.
