• Satellite L655 - does not detect the webcam

  Dear forum,

  I am new user of the Satellite L655... I just got about 1 month ago. I don't know why, but I can't use my webcam. Whenever I try to use it for Skype or yahoo messenger, it cannot detect my webcam.

  Is something wrong, and what should I do? Can someone help me solve this problem?

  Thank you for your help,

  Best regards
  Yogi...

  Hey Buddy,

  What happens if you start the webcam software? It recognizes the webcam?
  Important point is that if you want to use the webcam with Skype or other programs, webcam software shouldn't start because the two programs try to access the webcam. So close to first the webcam software.

  Last but not least, I would recommend reinstalling the driver from Toshiba Web site:

• Satellite L655 - not accessible by webcam software

  I have a new Satellite L655 with win7 64 bit OS.
  My webcam is suddenly is no longer accessible by a number of software (Skype and similar).

  No idea how I can find out if it is a software or hardware problem (if the webcam is fried for some reason, or if something was wrong with his driver)?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Able to use the webcam, you run the software of webcam Toshiba?

  If so, then the material of the webcam is ok
  As a general rule I don t believe that this problem could be related to a hardware problem.
  I think that the problem of software. Maybe different applications try to access the webcam at the same time, maybe it s locked by another application

  Have you tried to reinstall the webcam driver software?
  If this is not the case, to do this.
  First uninstall the software. Reboot the laptop.
  Then download the new version of the European driver Toshiba page and install this.

  Maybe it helps.

  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

• Satellite L655 - plugged, but not charging

  Hello

  I have an a computer Satellite L655 laptop and it worked very well to the top until there's a week, where all of a sudden it shows the message: 'PLUGGED in NO CHARGE.

  After a bit of troubleshooting, I tried many things including the battery removal and runs directly to the a/c power. Everything seemed normal from a mechanical point of view.

  However, after having also updated the driver software of all 3 components of the battery (found by Device Manager), the only thing that works every time, but is quickly reversed, is actually uninstall 'compatible Microsoft ACPI control method battery'.

  First of all, I don't know what this is... but I can't have to do each day in order to get my laptop to load. I can't always have a power when I need to use my laptop... can someone please help me know what on Earth has happened to my laptop and what I can do to fix it permanently?

  Thank you very much

  Anelia

  Hmm, you could try to remove this compatible Microsoft ACPI control method battery and could change the automatic installation of the driver for the device.
  1. Click Start, right-click computer and then click Properties.
  2. in the list of tasks, click Advanced system settings.
  3. in the System Properties dialog box, click the Hardware tab, and then click Windows Update driver settings.
  4. Select never check for drivers automatically when I connect a device.
  5. click OK twice, and then close the system dialog box.

  Now the driver for control method battery Microsoft ACPI-complaint should not automatically install.

  But I guess this isn't a better solution for you, but probably only system restore would help solve this problem.

  Otherwise, it could be a battery problem and this means that the battery must be replaced.

• Noise all using any device USB to the Satellite L655 - 19H

  Some time ago I bought the laptop Satellite L655 - 19 H.
  After say 2 or 3 weeks of use, I realized that sometimes it makes strange noise - like whistle not very strong, or something like that. Then I realized that it depends on the use of usb devices, when I plug in usb-flash Cards, keyboard, mouse, webcam no matter what usb device - this noise appears.
  Gave my phone for warranty service, they have repaired more than 1 month, then gave me the diagnosis - problem with the motherboard, the motherboard replaced.
  But the problem is always the same, the same noise. Is not too strong but after Let's say 5 hours near this large moskito makes crazy ^^.
  So I have two questions:

  1. everyone knows what this noise could be connected to? I am not an expert in the field of electronic devices, but spoke with a friend of mine, he said, it could be related to damaged transistors or defective to the Manger-usb or something, this is perhaps true?

  2. How can I check the serial number of the motherboard that has been installed on my device, when it was produced - I want to check the warranty service guys have really done anything, and they just kept my laptop 1 month in stock and then said, he fixed, man.

  Thanks for your help and best regards.

  Very interesting question.
  Have you noticed the same behavior with or without adapter?

  # I think you're the first person on this forum who has this strange issue reports related to the use of external USB devices, so I don't think it is a general problem
  # This can be problematic. Have you checked screws at the bottom of your laptop? They are like a new or it is visible that your laptop has been opened?

  What you can try is to communicate with other services and ask to check again.

• Satellite L655 - cannot download drivers

  I am trying to reinstall a Satellite L655 and getting snookered in all directions.

  1. I created recovery disks for installation on the old, due to lack of hard drive. When I install them (after watching paint dry for about an hour), it restarts and then fails on the first round - "installation of windows could not configure windows to run on a hardware on this computer." Suggestions Forum about this error did not help.

  2. the support of partners in South Africa have no copies of the factory recovery disks. They tell me they upload ad hoc drivers from the support site.

  3. I tried to clone the old disk (Windows runs on it, after all) but CloneZilla barfed on bad sectors.

  4. I installed Windows from a Microsoft OEM installation disk image. It runs, but obviously requires some hardware drivers. So I downloaded most of the people I need, like the map LAN, Intel Chipset and soundcard. But the WIFI drivers and screen just download: these are the largest files (60MO & 123 MB respectively) and downloads fail before the end. WELL before the end. I tried several times, using a significant amount of my allocation of bandwidth for the month (we have capped access here in black Africa!)

  I tried the download from another site, I have remote access, perhaps thinking that there is something wrong with my broadband - and got exactly the same problem. The remote site has the speed of the Internet about 6 MB/s - surely enough for a 120 MB file transfer? Apparently not.

  I tried these downloads from before the time of breakfast, through the afternoon and night, and it's now after midnight, all with the same results (I'm on a time zone that is in the middle of the Euro zones).

  From Toshiba Web site does not support download resuming, and there is no mirror sites. What happens in the blue flames is a person supposed to do?

  * UPDATE *.
  Download of driver WLAN 60MO on remote site succeeded on the second try. 120Mo adapter driver has not yet earlier on the second attempt to display. I don't see much point in trying once again, have you?

  * UPDATED MORE *.

  'Config' free download that I thought was the WLAN driver, turned out be just the crapware "config utility" and does not include the pilot. (Apparently), there is no driver for the wireless card. So I am always without WiFi and the screen is stretched wide.

  Oh and I tried to look elsewhere compatible drivers - the hardware ID displayed in the Device Manager tell me that the wireless card is a _Broadcom Dell 1501/1503/1701 a half Mini Card_ and graphic adapter is an ATI Mobility Radeon HD5650M_ _AMD. So I googled those chains, found things almost identical or very similar (on the Dell site!) that I downloaded - don't. Not good, "hardware not present on your computer.

  Anyone know where I'm going now?

• Can satellite L655-14F - I change the display driver?

  all I want to know if I can 'Upgrade graphics card in my laptop.

  Satellite L655-14F...... Hotel details

  "Graphics card".

  type: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 related HyperMemory technology
  amount of memory: 1 024 MB dedicated VRAM (total available graphics memory using HyperMemory technology can be up to 2 267 MB with 3 GB and 32-bit operating system and 8 GB memory 4 083 MB with a 64 - bit OS system memory or system)
  "type of memory: DDR3 video RAM (resp. RAM video and system memory combined)"

  We are talking on cell phones and the No. Laptops have a very specific design and hardware upgrade is limited. Generally updated graphics card is not supported by Toshiba, so there is no sense of thinking about it.

  Cooling system's biggest problem with laptops. Each laptop has the system of cooling optimized for certain physical infrastructure. Build in the cooling system should cool the hardware components and protect them from overheating and damage.

  I will now use the same word as badhat: theoretically if you upgrade graphics card, you will have more powerful piece of hardware that produces more heat than the original. More heat means more likely to damage the material.

  You can upgrade level RAM or HARD drive, but everything else is meaningless. That s in my opinion.

  Why don't l t buy you more powerful laptop? Something like Satellite A660, P750 or Qosmio?

• Compatible HARD drive need for my Satellite L655 - 1 6

  Hey everybody,

  my 4 year old Satellite L655 1 g 6 has recently had some problems and the hard drive needs to be replaced.
  Does anyone know about a cheap substitute that should not necessarily be the Toshiba?

  I don't want to do a SSD hard drive, as this laptop is old enough, and the cost for the ssd would not depreciate in the next years.
  Would be very grateful to hear some opinions/suggestions :)

  -Thanks in advance

  In general you need is of 2.5 HARD drive with connector SATA and these drives, you can find in every store of the computer. Pick up some info on the proposed models, capacities and prices so that you can make a decision that you want to buy.
  > I don't want to do a SSD hard drive, as this laptop is old enough, and the cost for the ssd would not depreciate in the next years.
  In my opinion it's the wrong opinion. Using SSD increase you the performance of laptop computer s quickly and were very quick machine. One day if you do not want to use this laptop, you can remove the SSD and put old HDD inside. SSD can be used on the new machine.
  For me, it's the best solution for you.

  Last year I've improved my 4 years old P500 with SSD and I m very happy with it. The price was only 149 Euros. It's OK price. Change the HARD drive is not complicated and you can do it alone.
