Satellite U500 - USB2.0 UVC webcam no longer works

Hello

I just upgraded my Skype to the latest version and now my integrated webcam usb2.0 UVC does more work. In fact, she seems to light (blue light that appears next to it on my screen) but the image is black with a grey circle search turning in the middle.
My PC is a Satellite U500-1DZ.
To be honest, not been use my webcam for 3 months before that, but the last time worked perfectly with the old version of Skype

At the same time, my Council of Toshiba Tempro update me my driver my BIOS and display
I tried to do this several times but it doesn't work.
For the BIOS, I'm just able to download 44% of it, and then it just stops. Same with the display driver.

These 2 problems could be related?
What can I do?

Thanks in advance for your help and response

It is not easy to say what the problem is here, but what you can try is to reinstall the software of the webcam of the Toshiba download page and check again.

If there is no problem with your laptop, in my view, there is no reason for updates, including BIOS update.

Anyway, the latest versions, you can find on Toshiba download page - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
Check it out.

    Mr.Kare Krogstad.

    Check the Device Manager.  Click Start and right-click computer.  -> Device Manager, click Properties.  Look under imaging devices.  Right-click the entry for your webcam and click on properties.  If it is disabled, you can activate it if there is no lack of material.  Also check to see if there is one? or! by the entrance.  If so, you need to download a new copy of the driver and reinstall.

    Good luck.

  • Webcam no longer works on my Satellite T130

    Hello

    My T130 webcam has stopped working.
    When windows starts, a message saing that the camera is not found there.
    At the same time, Windows tries to install a driver for a usb device is 'unknown' and... failed.
    If I go into Device Manager, I see this unknown device (marked as unknown)

    I tried to remove and update devices, windows tried to install the driver again.
    I tried to remove the battery usb around and got the same result: everything reinstalled correctly but still an unknown usb device

    I tried to delete the driver for the webcam, then got a new copy on the Web from Toshiba site and reinstalled... Without success.

    Then, to eliminate a problem hardware or BIOS, I booted a Linux system and then, the webcam works.

    The webcam used to work a few weeks ago. An update of Windows is perhaps responsible for that.

    Any idea?

    Thanks in advance

    Jean-Luc

    Hello

    Something has confused the webcam driver and software.
    The unknown USB device seems to be the webcam from the webcam is connected to the USB controller.
    Installing the webcam usually news driver should fix this so it s really strange that you could not solve this installation of the webcam software.

    Maybe you should clean the BONES and the registry using CCLeaner (freeware)
    Of workaround recommends that you:
    -First of all uninstall webcam software
    -Then clean the BONES and the registry using the CCleaner
    -Now reboot the laptop
    -After that install the webcam software that you downloaded from the European driver Toshiba page. Or said in the way would you recommend test Sat T230 webcam driver. It is a newer version of the driver

  • Satellite P200 - Webcam no longer works after Vista upgrade

    Since the upgrade Vista Home Premium, Vista Ultimate, the built-in webcam did not work. I have re-installed the software camera which proceeds to driver software update point. Process to fail with the message "Windows has encountered an installation problem the software of the driver for your device. "Windows found driver software for your device, but has encountered an error trying to install it." Chicony USB 2.0 Camera ". «The driver for this device is missing a necessary entry.» Maybe it's because the file INF was written for Windows 95 or later. Contact your hardware vendor.

    Download from Toshiba site does not contain the drivers for this device. only the Camera Assistant Software. Chicony Electronics site contains some drivers for cameras, but is not described cameras and refers to model numbers that are consistent with the references of Toshiba. I tried the latest model, but the driver installation completed with no termination message and the camera still does not work. Running the installation again recognized that something had been installed and proceeded to remove it, once again no completion message. A real class act!

    Can anyone suggest where I might find a solution?

    Hello

    > Download from Toshiba site does not contain the drivers for this device. only the Camera Wizard Software

  • Satellite Pro M30 Win 7 - webcam does not work on msn messenger

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite Pro M30 Modell Nr.: PSM35E and just changed to Windows 7. But put him Nvidia card NVIDIA GeForceTM FX Go5200 Grafik 64 MB of RAM is not working properly.

    I could find a Vista driver and installed, have Aero + photos on the desktop, but my webcam does not work on msn messenger and this is the only way for me to see my family.

    Can someone help me?

    Thanks for your help

    Hello

    I m a bit confused; you have some problems with the graphics card or with the webcam?

    I assume you mean on external webcam connected to the USB port? Right?
    What happens if you connect the webcam to the laptop? Can win 7 recognize the device? Have you installed additional drivers for this webcam?
    Most of the time it s necessary to do so because I think that it s not Plug & Play device.

  • Satellite 2410-404: mini pc card no longer works

    Hello

    I have a Satellite 2410-404 with mini pc installed wireless lan card, allowing to work perfectly - up to a few days ago, I installed a pcmcia by levelone wireless network card, just to check if it worked. This was the case, and so I uninstalled the card and the software that came with it. But now my toshiba mini wlan card no longer works! It is actually recognized and installed by the system and shown as being active - but I do not get a connection to wifi even when there is certainly one around. I can't even bring up the list of WLAN networks available (win xp) that normally you can even if there's no matter what available wlan.

    I checked the registry and found several remaining entries by levelone... but dare not change or delete since I'm not an expert at all regarding registry stuff. Another thing that bothers me is that when I uninstall the mini pc card and let windows reinstall, it shows as "3 wireless" or even "WiFi 4", which seems to allude to some "connection 2" still occupied by some zombie levelone wireless.

    I would appreciate any help on this matter,

    TIA
    Rainer

    Hi Rainer

    As you can see all the software, after removing, let a few entries in the registry. In my opinion, you should remove the list of Device Manager wireless card and wireless connections. Restart the device and the wireless card should be recognized and installed again.

    The wireless connection you can configure with option of windows. If you use another client to the wireless Wi - Fi disable windows configuration.

  • Satellite A665-14F - built-in Webcam suddenly stopped working

    Hello Toshiba people,

    I used Satellite A665 - 14F PSAW3E more than 2 years and I have really no problem with my webcam, until today. I realized all of a sudden (when I entered the website that requires a webcam) that my webcam is not working. (It works perfectly). My laptop stopped seeing to the integrated webcam.

    First, I checked the 'device manager' to find and check the driver of it, but I couldn't find the webcam. In fact I don't know in which category in Device Manager, I'm supposed to see. After that, I uninstalled the Webcam Application from Toshiba of the thing "Add/Remove Programs" of Windows. I found the Driver + Kit application to the webcam in my laptop Toshiba's European Web site and installed. He asked me to restart after uninstalling and installing both. I did both times. It is still not fixed. In addition, now light blue right next to the webcam (which is supposed to be activated when the webcam is active) is lit permanently, which is really annoying...

    The only other detail I can give to you guys, it's that I realized that I have an "unknown device" with an error icon yellow triangle on it in the category of the 'USB Bus controllers '. Could be related to my problem, as if the webcam is also associated USB hardware? Cause I believe that this unknown hit-and-run driver appeared in the same day with my webcam problem.

    Thanks in advance to any person for his time. (I use win7 - 64 bit)

    Best,
    Ibrahim

    > The only other detail I can give to you guys, it's that I realized that I have an "unknown device" with an error icon yellow triangle on it in the category of the 'USB Bus controllers '.

    I guess that's the internal webcam.
    Webcam module is connected to the USB controller on the motherboard and the yellow exclamation point means that software webcam was not installed correctly.

    In your case, I recommend first of all:
    (1) uninstall the software of webcam again
    (2) remove the unknown device Bus USB controllers in Device Manager (mark and press DELETE)
    (3) install CCLeaner tool can clean the registry and the system
    (4) restart the laptop and install the webcam software once more.

    Good luck

    Hello

    Since 2004, I have a Satellite M30-344. Some time ago, I changed my system from XP home to XP pro and my USB 2.0 no longer works since. I need to use XP pro because XP home does ' t run some CAD software that I use. Can I do about this problem? I could not find the USB drivers in the Toshiba downloads.
