Webcam on Satellite A300 - 1 K 6 is very granular and insensitive to light

Hi, I just bought a Toshiba Satellite A300 - 1 K 6, and I must say that I am very satisfied with the quality of the webcam. The problem is that there are a lot of "snow storm" - effect on her, in other words, quality is severely affected by small dots of Dervishes (looks a lot like a TV with the poor because of the antenna signals or missing when you use it together with Live Messenger or Skype. When I start the webcam outside these applications, it is much better. Is he really supposed to be like this or can I do something?

Another thing is that the sensitivity of the camera is very poor when it comes to darkness. In a normal lit room the camera barely detects my face, and I almost put a flashlight on my face so that he could detect it. Then all of a sudden the camera becomes more sensitive. This is due to a kind of fashion night? Why does this happen?

I hope someone can help me, because this is getting boring.

Thanks for your replies

Have you removed the transparent sticker covering the camera?

  • Satellite A300-17N - t - it have port series and how to get there?

    Hello

    To help my studies in microcontrollers, I need serial port, but I did not on the Panel of my laptop. I know that some laptop models have one on their motherboards, but is not on the Panel. If satellite A300-17N is one of them I enjoy any help and instructions how to get manually.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Satellite A300-17N doesn t have serial port and AFAIK no Satellite A300 was equipped with this port.

    But I saw a few online shops, they listed an Express card that offers the serial port (RS232). I found one on Amazon:
    http://www.Amazon.co.UK/STARTech-com-16C950-ExpressCard-serial-adapter/DP/B000PE6G04/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&QID=1300736594&SR=8-8

    I think it would be easier and less expensive way for serial port. :)

    As I remember, such tool was available for some laptops with pre-installed Win XP or Vista.
    For example; the acoustic silencer was available for some of the Satellite A200 and you could download this on the European driver Toshiba page.

  • Satellite Pro L500 - wireless connection is very slow and unstable

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite Pro L500 a couple of weeks (Windows 7 and Realtek 8191SE). I have no problem connecting to public networks, but I can't use it at my place, where I have a broadband cable connection.
    The strange thing is that, in the same room, I have no problem with my old A105 Satellite (Windows XP).

    It is also very strange the fact that, even if the signal is good, sometimes excellent, the connection is very slow and unstable (it disconnects when I try to browse the Internet).

    I have already tried:

    -Update the Realtek drivers.
    -Disconnect the firewall;
    -Modification of the properties of the Realtek card.

    Maybe it's a problem with the software or, on the contrary, with the material?

    Thank you!
    Poncet

    Hi Patrick,

    If you can connect to public networks correctly, I think that this problem is related to your router at home. So I would recommend updating the firmware on your router. You can get it on the page of manufactured goods.

    Also try to disable WLAN encryption and MAC address filtering.

    By the way: you can access the Internet at home via a cable connection?

    Hello

    There is no connection between all of these applications.

    I think you need to uninstall these software and after having cleaned the Vista using CCleaner (freeware software) install the software again.

    This is not unusual since you can find modules of cooling on the left.
    Cooling modules blow air hot and which is created by the CPU and GPU.
    So don t you worry portable common behavior.

  • Satellite A80 - keyboard is to be very slow and charcters have changed

    Hello!

    I recently reinstalled my windows and other software on my laptop Toshiba A80. However, my keyboard is currently very slow now. the charecters take a few seconds more until they appear on the screen, regardless of how fast I type.
    Furthermore, some charecters keyboard appear to have traded, like I need to use "to get and vice versa."

    Help, please.
    I WILL BE GRATEFUL.

    Hello

    you said, you´ve reinstalled your windows. For slow typing may be a reason may be a faulty driver or missing for a hardware component, such as for example chipset graphics card.
    Can you tell me what drivers and tools that you have installed, and order in which you did.

    With regard to the characters: maybe you have a bad keyboard layout. Go to your control panel for "Regional and Language Options", click the "Languages" tab, click on 'Détails' and find out what keyboard configuration you have. Maybe it s a bad.
