The webcam on my Satellite A210 - graphic error make fail

I just bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A210. I have everything installed and working properly, except the built-in webcam. Webcam Viewer says "rendering failed" when you try to turn on the webcam and MSN does not recognize that I have even a webcam on or plugged into the computer.

Am I missing something?
Do I need to activate it somewhere?

Thank you.

Reboot the laptop and try to start the webcam software. You can use the webcam again?

  • How to identify the model number Toshiba Satellite A210

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A210, now, I would buy an extra RAM. On all the Ive visited the site, they ask for a little more information. They ask for a Satellite A210...
    I looked at the sticker on the bottom of the laptop, but that only shows the A210. My model number is PSAFGA-078019. Where can I find what is supposed to come after the 210?

    Thank you

    Hello

    All information must be posted at the bottom of the unit.
    There are a few labels including details such as the model number, serial number, etc.

    But to be honest that the Satellite A210 PSAFGA 078019 is not a European Toshiba model.
    It s possibly an Australian / New Zealand series.

    I googled for the number PSAFGA-078019 and get some information.
    It seems that the laptop is called Satellite A210/801

    However, the laptop should support the same modules as the other units A210 and compatible modules supports these specifications:
    * DDR2 667 MHz (PC2-5300) 200 - PIN SODIMM *.

  • Cannot use the webcam on my Satellite A300

    Hello

    I installed Windows 7 Home premium in my laptop (windows Vista there) and since I can't use my webcam.

    It does not appear in Device Manager and I have install and uninstall the drivers of many times but whenever I see the message that says that the camera is either disconnected or destroyed and restart the computer or the camera.

    Is there a way to fix this?
    Thanks in advance...

    My laptop is Satellite A300-20W with PSAGCE-09N00DGE model number and the serial number 29353297Q

    I have the Satellite A300 too with two hard drives inside. Second I ve installed Win7 32 bit and the webcam works perfectly so I m just really wondering what the problem may be.

    You are 100% sure that the webcam works properly with the original Vista recovery image?

  • Need the original BIOS for Satellite A210 - 1AO PSAELE

    Hi all!

    long in vain looking for the original BIOS for my satellite A210-1AO PSAELE-03Q00FRU (Vista32bit preinstalled).

    Unfortunately I've updated and laptop lost the ability to disable.
    VERY noisy DWD - ROM (TS-L632H) through the BIOS (but it worked without a doubt with the original BIOS)
    It is also impossible to turn it off through the Device Manager (tried several times).

    I looked for BIOS anywhere where I could (Yes, I tried to download & support from Toshiba for Europe, USA, Canada, China, Russia - no. satellite A210 PSAELE BIOS in lists, even for the A200 PSAELE).

    Written in support of the Russia of Toshiba - no result. the point is that I don't know bios original version for my model, so I tried BIOS version 1.1, 1.4, 1.5, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.3 - no result.
    The latest idea is to physically remove the DVD-ROM, but it is the solution.

    So where can I find that BIOS? or you recoomend a truly customer friendly toshiba can support office?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Cannot use the webcam on my Satellite Pro A200

    I have the Satellite Pro A200 series.

    My warranty (with clips) runs out on August 7. I had probs with my webcam since I bought this laptop two years ago. I keep says it's a matter of 'software' and not covered by the warranty. I did everything what I said to do... reformatted the hard drive three times, etc., etc. In any case... I use only this laptop when I go... I checked the other day and that's the problem, now, I recovered it. It works, I can see on the webcam, but no one can see me.

    I get this message that says "turn on camera"... but there is no way to turn it on and just what I do does not work. Is it not now a HARDWARE problem, with a built-in webcam If the camera does not illuminate? So it seems Staples should look like it. I'm back this week for another chance with them.

    But does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thank you.

    Try this

    * Download driver Chicony Webcam drivers from Toshiba Web site section was updated. If you can't find an updated driver, try a new driver of another model of Toshiba.
    * Install the Service Pack 1 of Vista, or Vista Hotfix KB934374: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934374 (KB934374 is included in SP1)
    * Update your e-mail software (MSN/Yahoo Messenger, etc...)
    * If you have another program that can use the webcam (e.g. Skype), make sure that they are completely closed and not, sitting in the system tray.
    * Try to close the bar Assistant camera on the left side of the office.
    * To stop the Camera Assistant software from running at startup, run Regedit and delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run "Camera Assistant Software".

    If it still does not work, then get an ASP to fix it.

    Hello

    If the webcam has already started, then you should see a webcam software icon in the task bar. Double click on this icon will be visible webcam software.

    If the software of the webcam was not responsible, then you must do that first.

  • Satellite A210 - 12U Slot memory failed

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite A210-12U, currently had a BSOD, then finally PC would not boot at all, I managed to get it working again by removing one on the RAM bars, since I tried to install 2 sticks of RAM in various cobinations I thought that one of it was defective, it seems that both work very well , But when I put one of the in the top slot, the laptop does not start at all, not even the BIOs boot.

    I guess that means that the slot memory has failed, my question is, can it be replaced? As there is no big, if not is there the 4 GB memory sticks available as I still want to upgrad.

    Thanks in advance

    Creeky

    Looks like the slot is defective, or it could just be dirty. You can clean the slots using electrical cleaner from an electronics store. Do not use water or other liquids as you can the motherboard and cause damage.

    I guess you could get a Service centre to resolder the connector memory, but it can be cheaper or easier to just buy another motherboard.

    I doubt that laptop can take Modules to 4 GB RAM, 2 x 2 GB may be your only option.

    But remember that 32-bit operating systems are limited to 3 GB, and you would need 64-bit Vista to take advantage of all of 4 GB.

    PS. use Memtest (bootable CD or FD) at www.memtest.org to test RAM.

  • Satellite A210-1BX - error based on the CD/DVD drive

    Hello

    I have a problem with my DVD writer! I use Nero and if I burn MP3 CD or DVD .avi files happens whenever an error based on the drive. No detail!
    But on the CD are the opder of 1/2 3/4 data!
    If I insert an .mp3 CD Windows Vista said, the CD is empty! Vista is already NEW!

    Can someone help me? Or I have to contact Toshiba, I guarantee!

    Thank you

    Hello!

    Have you checked the site factory of Nero for an update? Maybe it s just a software problem that the burning procedure fails.
    In addition, you can try another burning program. A few days ago, I tested CD BurnerXP and I was very surprised! It s a freeware program and it also contains a large number of functions that it s worth a try! ;)

    Here in the forum I noticed that the dismantling of the upper and lower filters can often solve problems with the CD/DVD drive to check of workaround from Microsoft:

  • How to turn on the webcam on laptop Satellite

    When I open the camera assistant software and click the "start camera" it opens a new window (as it should), but no picture.
    If I try and then click the "snapshot" it then tells me to "turn to the camera."

    Anyone know how to activate the camera, because I looked everywhere and I don't have a clue: S

    What computer Satellite phone do you have?
    You have a camera assist software in the taskbar?

    Please check this!
    Here you can do a double-click and software of the camera should slide from left to right (depending on settings)
    Here, you click on the first option. This will start the cam.

    If this does not work, delete the software and download and reinstall the new from the European pilot of Toshiba page.

  • After the waiting on my Satellite A210 screen is blue

    When I opened the hood, the display begins to be blue and something written on it; but I did not have enough time to read.
    And sometimes, even if I'm online on Internet Explorer, screen goes black and it colapses.

    This Toshiba computer is brand new, and I don't know how to solve this problem.

    Anyone, please explain and help me.

    > When I opened the hood, the display begins to be blue, and something written on it. but I did not have enough time to read.
    It looks like you area speaking the BSOD (blue screen of death).
    Usually this BSOD appears only if there is a serious malfunction of software or a hardware problem.

    It is not easy to say what can cause exactly this question
    There is only one way how knowledge which could be wrong you should recover the laptop using the Toshiba Recovery CD and must be reinstalled the operating system.
    If this problem appears running Toshiba picture then the chances are that the material isn't ok.
    In this case, you should contact the ASP in your country for a check!

    Good luck buddy

  • Satellite P100 - 307 Error Message: "failed to get read handle.

    "Failed to get read handle." Error message that appears whenever I start my laptop. HELP, its boring

    Error message that reads "Failed to get read handle." lies at the heart of my screen. Strange that it has an OK button, which means that the computer expects me to think it's ok. It's like the 'So what' button which really did not help them that my computer failed to get read manages? How can I get rid of this message? And why he's here.

    It's like setting up a new cell phone and the first time you receive your new number to a text message comes on the screen saying "Otta OK." Who the hell is Otta and what was wrong with Otta initially. In any case, anyone could help me with this, I would of course welcome.

    Hi Thorsten

    My first question is; What to hell you have on your laptop?
    I never saw the message as "Failed to get read handle."
    I have goggled autour and nothing!

    Are you able to get into the operating system? O If yes try to restore the operating system to the beginning.
    I put t know what you have installed or not installed on the device but I can t believe this is happening without any reason.

  • Satellite A210 - Nero says burning failed but she is successful

    I have a problem in my ODD, when I burn at the end it says burn failed. But when I test the file was there and it was burnt successfully. my DVD - R drive is a TSST L632H TO03. But when my firmware is TO02, there is no problem, is there another way to get off my to TO02 TO03 firmware? Thanks for your help.

    I used Nero, I reformat my laptop earlier but it's the failed message, burned appear but the burn is successful when I insert again in the player.

    Model: Toshiba A210-1AH
    DVD drive: TSST TS-L632H TO03

    My request: it back TO03 to TO02 or other advice you can give.

    Hello

    The message or notification is created by Nero and not by the firmware.
    So it s not a firmware issue.

    It turns out that the data on the disk was written correctly it means that the firmware works very well
    I have an A210 and this message never took place!

    Maybe you should update Nero software or try other drives from different manufacturers.
