Webcam does not... What is the final solution?

My Y550 webcam has stopped working for some reason any last week. I use it every weekend; so, I know for a fact that he has worked the previous week.

I went through messages in the forum & done the stuff suggested.

-J' I uninstalled the driver and tried to install the new. Only the message "device corresponding driver.

-Fn keys work since I put the system to sleep using Fn + F1

-No device corresponding to my camera in the Device Manager. Thus "manually" install can be done.

So many people have complained to this subject; no idea why this is happening & how to solve this problem? A MSFT updates spoil it?

Cheers & thanks in advance.

This is certainly a hardware fault. Request support from lenovo to do it or do it on your own check if the cables are connected properly

    Hello
    If Facebook does not recognize your webcam right away when you want to share a video, click on the eye for cameras new button.

    Your Adobe Flash Player settings will be displayed.
    On the tab, make sure you only select the right type of camera you use with your computer.

    On the tab, you may also need to 'allow' Facebook to access your camera and microphone.

    If your settings does not work, try to uninstall Adobe Flash Player on your computer and download the latest Flash Player.

  • Satellite A300-1NO - webcam does not work, but the LED lights

    Hello!

    I have a laptop Satellite A300-1NO, with Win 7 installed. My problem is that my webcam does not work always, when I want to use it. Sometimes, it works perfectly in Skype, WLM etc... but sometimes I see a white or a black screen with a 'loading circle' in there. Blue is the LED light, I can see it in Device Manager too, but there is no picture, just 'loading '. I tried to uninstall the driver and then reinstall it, I installed the new "camera Assistant for Toshiba", without success.

    Is there any solution for this?

    > Is there any solution for this?
    I put t think there is solution for this. If I understand you right there is a problem with software pre-installed. It is not easy to say why this is happening.

    I have Satellite A300 too and use it with Win7 32 bit. Webcam works fine all the time.

    One more thing: have you noticed this problem in the first moments after installing Win7 or later?
    Have you installed something that may be the reason for this?

    Hello

    Thanks for your posting in the Microsoft community
    Its seems a hardware problem...
    It is always better to seek simple solutions first. Start your search troubleshooting by ensuring that your webcam is properly connected to your computer.

    The first thing to try is to install the Webcam software from the disc that came with the computer.

    If this does not work, go to the drivers & downloads, enter your service tag and download drivers windows 7. Install the Vista drivers in compatibility mode. You can find the drivers of the webcam under input devices.

    Right click on the file of drivers, on the left, click Properties, compatibility of the left click. Change the compatibility to Windows 7. Then right-click on the drivers, on the left, click Run as administrator.

    So hardware webcam seems to be OK.

    > But now I see my friends, but they cannot see me, even the webcam does not appear on my screen
    Have you checked the settings of applications only cat?
    Recommend doing this.

    Also, the webcam software is preinstalled on your laptop and you could test the functionality by using this software of the webcam.
    Usually, this should be available somewhere in all programs-> Toshiba

  • Driver Chicony webcam does not work on the Satellite A200-13O

    After the misfortune that occurred to my webcam, I tried to fix it by uninstalling the driver and then put it back in place (by the toshiba Web site).
    I did this twice and it does not work,
    allthought the pc installed the driver, the camera was not working because a file was for win95 and my pc has vista.

    After several reboots, I made the following
    -Start
    -all programs
    -camera assistant software
    -Right click
    -options (the last button in the right click menu...)
    -compatibility
    -Select work in win95 compatibility
    -ok
    Sorry for my English, I am Greek and my menu vista also... :))
    If anyone wants more details please to contact me.
    I hope this could help those in despair...

    Hello

    Yes I would like some details;).

    For example: manufacturer who is the camera, it is built, made, he has worked previously, and so on...

    So there is a lot to say, have you ever said to the second part, but I'm missing a few things as I've described above. By the way: you can try to recover your machine, if you really need on your camera, but it is really the LAST RESORT.

    Good bye

  • Flash video not working does not, despite all the previous solutions

    On some embedded flash video sites do not work properly. Strangely enough, youtube works very well.

    I've browsed the forum and have tried the following solutions, none doesn't seem to work:

    -Disable Realplayer (which is not installed on my computer)
    -Downgrade to Flash 11.2
    -Switch to Firefox 14

    How does it work, is to run Firefox in safe mode. This means that one of my custom extensions/add-ons gives me a hard time. Safe mode stops all my Add-ons, and obviously this isn't what I want. So I went to my list of Add-ons and the disabled one by one, trying to figure out what the troublemaker. Oddly enough, even when I disable all the manually, the problem is not resolved. So somehow safe mode stops more that I can do it manually. Does anyone have an idea how can I know what are the causes of the problem?

    Hardware acceleration is also disabled in safe mode.

    Try turning off hardware acceleration.

  • Qosmio X 500-webcam does not work after the installation of W7 Ultimate

    Hello
    I have a big problem.

    First: Sorry English is not my native language and I can't find a German support forum here.

    I have a new laptop Qosmio X 500, and I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - Bit of news. I try to install all the drivers from the site Web of Toshiba, but it't really didn't work with the Webcam.
    I can't install it. It works once, I can install the "Web camera Application", but he says that it cannot find the web camera. Then, I uninstalled the "Web camera Application" and try to installed new.
    Who does not work now too. He asked: "if I'm going to delete all" but I delete them all! And I can not install the "tinstall.exe" I don't know what it is, but it is from the WebCam Driver of Toshiba.

    In the Device Manager there is no Web camera too.

    All means what? Is the WebCam broken? I've had the laptop for 5 days.

    Greetings

    Hello

    Qosmio X 500 shipped with Win7 64 bit OS so I really put t understand why you use clean install of the OS. Ultimate version is so important to you?

    At first, I must say that the Qosmio X 500 is more complicated for laptop for any new OS install and all things must be installed in the correct order.

    But back to your questions:
    > All means what?
    It probably means that you are missing something
    > Is the WebCam broken?
    Probably not. Install original OS, you got with your laptop and test the features of cam again.
    > I've had the laptop for 5 days.
    This statement is not relevant at all. If you do something yourself and it works not that's problem and even your laptop is 5 hours old.

    What now? is original OS install an option for you?
    You have created recovery DVDs until you have installed the clean version of Win7? I hope because without DVD, you won't be able to install it using the option of HARD drive recovery.

  • Animated objects does not move until the final destination.

    I am using captivate 9, and since then the upgrade 8, I have noticed that if I do a simple animation (fly down for example) on an object and do not change the trajectory at all, the animated object actually never to the final destination.  The question is even worse if I shorten the time of the animation.  Everyone has noticed this or have any suggestions?

  • Background music does not make in the final export

    I spent hours trying to figure this problem without success.

    I am doing a project in creation that has the music videos 2, another track for sound effects and another track for background music.

    The background music plays and is audible during the preview and in the project, but it NEVER makes it to export final (H.264) no matter what I do.

    I try to switch the sound effects and background music, background music is therefore on track 3 with sound effects on track 4 and sound effects through the fine but is not background music.

    I tried with both versions of the background music the .wav and .mp3 and niether work, can somone please explain it to me and possibly propose a solution?

    I had a quick glance at this project. The problem is the variation of the extreme speed of the music, your clips is 1/20 of the original speed. I did the work by reducing the speed of the music of 50%, the music video for nesting and by reducing the speed of the nest to 10%. Hope this works for you.
