Chicony Webcam Not Working on Satellite Pro A350d-202

System Specification:
Satellite Pro a350d-202
Windows 7 64bit
I am not sure if this is related but since I updated my laptop to Windows 7 my Chicony Webcam has stopped working. I have tried all of the following:
Complete rebuild of my system from scratch.
+Unsuccessful+
Safe Mode drivier installation
+For some reason, it doesnt let me log in via safe mode. I get to the windows log in screen and it reboots itself after a few seconds. Any explanations? Again, have rebuilt PC a few times.+
No Device for webcam in Control panel devices and printers or hardware.
+Manually installing drivers as recommended doesnt work. I cant see the webcam being recognised+
Half closing the lid of the laptop to hear it recognising the camera or new device.
+Unsuccessful. This does not happen+
In essence, i want to know if this is a Windows 7 compatibility issue or a Toshiba technical fault.
Either way an OFFICIAL word from Toshiba would be key here as I was using the webcam for vital web conferencing for work and now I cant.
Please provide any options or anything else I can try.
Any suggestions deeply valued. Including links or other articles I may have missed
Desperately seeing a solution.
Regards
Danny

The Chicony webcam should be listed in device manager under the option Imagine devices. There you should see USB Video Device entry.
Can you see that?If yes, delete this from the device manager and reboot the unit.
+I see nothing. No entry in imaging devices. No entry in USB devices.+
Usually the Windows 7 should recognize the cam automatically and should refresh the driver. Is it the case?
+Nope. Windows 7 picks up all other drivers. All other software all other facilities. Just not the camera. Laptop works perfectly otherwise, just not cam :(...+

Cooling fan is not working on Satellite Pro A300

Hi Everyone
I was asked by a friend to repair their Satellite Pro A300, as their CPU Cooling Fan had stopped working even during POST bootup and the laptop would overheat and shutdown. So I thought it could one of three things:
# Fan is clogged with dust or dirt
# Fan bearing has failed
# Fan power cable was loose
So I disassembled the laptop and cleaned the fan/heatsink using compressed air and checked the power connection which was solid, but this did not solve the problem, so I replaced the fan and heatsink with another one that I knew worked from the same model laptop that had a fault motherboard because of the random bios boot-up password bug (out of warranty) but still no joy.
I am beginning to believe that the fan was perfectly fine rather the motherboards cpu temperature sensor(s) that control the fan activation has failed.
Am I correct, in thinking that this is basically, irreparable without specialised tools and my friend will have content themselves with turning the system off every hourish or is there something else I am overlooking?
Thank you, for any help.

Hello
Im not a technician but for me it sounds like that fan connector is malfunctioning if you have already replaced the fan and therefore it would be necessary to replace the mainboard
Thats everything what I can say about this Have a look for second mainboard or notebook where you can get a cheap mainboard. Maybe it works. :)

Bluetooth not working on Satellite PRO 660C

Hello,
I have bought recently a laptop Satellite PRO 660C, it has embedded the Bluetooth function but I have difficulties to make it work with a GSM or an IRIS Scanner (both have the Bluetooth capability)
I would like simply to transfer files from these external devices to my Laptop (pictures)
It works fine from Laptop to device but not in the other way ! There is an application (Bluetooth manager) that enables the transfer always from my Laptop, it looks like Toshiba didn't imagine the scenario where files have to be transferred in both ways.
I get a message saying the transfer of files failed.
If you have an idea how I should configure my laptop.
Thank you
Guido

If the notebook is installed with recovery CD/DVD than it should be very simply. Enable WLAN using WLAN switch. When the WLAN LED is ON use FN+F8 key combination and choose BT option.
After doing this it can happen that some BT components will be installed at first but after several minutes you should be able to use BT.

DVD drive not working on Satellite Pro U400-142

My DVD drive is not working. I insert a disk, can hear the drive working for some time but then nothing happens. I checked 'Device Manager' - under DVD/CD-ROM drives it shows: MAT****A DVD-RAM UJ862AS, but there is a black exclamation mark on a yellow circle next to it. I opened the 'Properties' dialogue box and under device status it says:
'Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41)
I'd like to try to try to solve the problem by re-installing the driver. I have checked the Toshiba website for the driver, but cannot find it.
I'd be most grateful if someone could give me any ideas on how to sove this problem.
Thanks
P

What you can do is follow:
Remove optical disc drive from device manager and restart your notebook.
The drive should be recognized and installed properly. If the same happen again try please > http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ8101LA0000R01.htm

Touch pad not working on Satellite Pro A60

Hi,
Tried the Fn F9 approach. Still no response. Also tried the setting in the control pannel to no avail.
I have looked in the Device Manager and there seems to be a problem with the PS/2 Touch Pad. Apparently the device is not present, not working or does not have all its drivers installed.
I dont seem to have the driver available nor am I able to find it anywhere in the internet.
Any ideas??

Seems you have to install the touchpad driver.
Download the right one from the Toshiba page and install it!

Screen not working of Satellite Pro A

My sattelite pro, not sure what model because the sticker has worn out, but I think its something like L18850
When I was using it today, it went into sleep, when I rebooted it the screen wouldn't come on.
I tried removing the battery, holding power button for 45 seconds etc.. That didn't work.
I have tried turning it on and off lots of times, it boots up the desktop, I can hear the sound of it logging in, but it seems to take longer for the sound to happen now and it seems to make the login sound twice, 10 mins apart.
One of the times i Turned it on it the screen worked and it loaded up system recovery, I chose to keep my existing files and partition the rest, the screen was working for the half an hour that it took to recover windows, then when it restarted the screen was no longer working again..
It is very frustrating as one week ago the laptop was with Toshiba repair, there were no previous problems with the screen, I sent it in with a cooling fan fault..
Any help would be appreciated , I need the laptop badly as I work online and need it to pay rent..

Sorry to hear that it very annoying if notebook / computer start to malfunctions.
From my point of view nobody here in the forum would be able to help fixing this issue since I think there is something wrong with the hardware.
You could connect the external monitor just to check if something would be visible on 2nd screen but of course this would not fix the notebook problem.
Maybe the issue is related to the last notebook repair??? You said the notebook was send to the service one week ago this is just an assumption but maybe the technician made some mistakes last time who knows I recommend you to get in contact with the guys again

PC diagnostic tool not working on Satellite Pro L300

When I try executing the Toshiba utility pcdiag.exe I get an error message.
The details of this message say that the 'Fault Module Name' is KERNEL32.dll.
I have uninstalled the original utility programs and downloaded the updated files from the Toshiba website, with the same result - I still get an error message.
What fix is there for this?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi
Do you use the Vista OS or Win XP?
I checked the Toshiba European driver page and the PC Diagnostic tool has been published only for the Win XP.
I believe that this issue could have something to do with your installed Windows OS.
First of all you should check if the PC Diagnostic tool is compatible with your operating system and secondly you should update the OS before you would install this tool.
Bye

WLAN not working on Satellite Pro A100

I originally thought this was a driver problem. WLAN switch is on, and I am getting no WLAN. Worse than that, there seems to be no hardware detected.
I've taken the panel off and the board is there, and I've reseated it. Any other ideas?

First of all you should check if the WLan card was recognized and can be found in the device manager! Check it under Network adapters.
If the WLan card isnt there and you see a yellow exclamation mark then you have to install a compatible WLan driver!
All Toshiba drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba European driver page and should functions!
But its very interesting to know if you use the Toshiba original preinstalled OS!?
If you use this OS and the Toshiba image then everything should run correctly!

Webcam not working for Macbook Air 2013 after upgrading to OSX Mavericks? Yahoo/ Google/Skype cam chats not working. Facetime works though. Any updates of Mavericks released to fix this?

Webcam not working for Macbook Air 2013 after upgrading to OSX Mavericks? Yahoo/ Google/Skype cam chats not working. Facetime works though. Any updates of Mavericks released to fix this?

I have a MacBook Pro Retina display: 15.4-inch late 2015 with OS X Mavericks install, only on second week.
Insight works on FaceTime, Skype, but yahoo program does not show insight cam in dropped down.
Now when I got my new MacBook Pro, I down loaded all new Skype (worked tested), FaceTime (Worked Tested), Yahoo (not worked)
Fix:
With the new Maverick you have to use there messager program Version 8.0 (4218). Once I add my yahoo account video works again.
It also supported AOL, AIM, Google Talk, Jabber.
Guess I miss it frist time... hope this helps...

Youtube videos not working on macbook pro

I updated my mac's OS to Yosemite and now my eye drop tool will NOT work inside premiere pro. Can anyone help me fix this issue?

The eyedropper tool for selecting colors to key out or to fill text will not work inside premiere pro, this error started when I updated my mac os to yosemite.

Hi Transportation,
Does the error occur in OS X 10.9? If not, why not remain at OS X 10.9? Is it necessary to run OS X 10.10?
The general rule of thumb is that when you are running software that is no longer tested or supported on a new operating system, you have to prepare for anomalies like this. You may want to install a separate bootable hard drive with OS X 10.9 on it so you can continue running that software more reliably.
Hope that helps,
Kevin

IMessage and FaceTime not working on Mac Pro and message stating to contact Support came on

iMessage and FaceTime not working on Mac Pro and a message stating to contact Support came on with a verification code. It was working on 8/29 but stopped on 8/30. When I called support to even speak with anyone they wanted $19. I don't want to pay $19 for an Apple problem. I cleared my key chain, also reset my apple ID password but still not working. Works fine on my iPhone.

There is no official public documentation of that error message as far as I know, but according to reports, it can mean (at least sometimes) that the same Apple ID is being used with the iTunes Store or one of the other Apple content stores, and the payment method is invalid. Sign in to the store and review your account. You do not, of course, have to provide any billing information to set up an account to use only with iMessage, as it's a free service.
Otherwise, do what the error message tells you to do. According to reports, you won't be charged for the call if you select "Apple ID" as the product you need support for, and cite the customer code in the alert as the "validation code" to the support representative.

USB superdrive not working with Mac Pro

Is there a trick to getting a USB Superdrive working with a Macpro?
The drive in the Macpro no longer ejects and have tried connecting the USB drive to both the front and back ports - does it not work with Mac Pros?
Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.

I had a problem my superdrive. It would play dvd's and cd's that were already burnt but would not burn blank DVDs or CDs- in the recent past it had no problems burning. In addition, the Finder would not display the superdrive. When I put a blank disc in it would go to Disk Utilities and would not allow burning. With help from Apple I discovered the problem-- The settings in CDS & DVDs had been changed from When you insert a blank DVD/CD "Ask what to do to to "GO to Disk Utilities". If this sounds like your problem try changing the settings to this:
Try going to; System Preferences/ CDs & DVDs
Change these two settings to this:
When you insert a blank CD: Ask what to do
When you insert a blank DVD: Ask what to do
NOTE: If they are already set to this you probably have a different problem. If they are set to Go to Disk Utilitiy this is probably a solution.
And
Then go to Finder Preferences
Make sure that under "Show these items on desktop:" that the checkbox for CDs, DVDs, and iPods is checked.
Try to burn the DVD again (reload Disc- perhaps restart) and try again.
Don't know how these setting changed but they did. It worked for me.
