GX660R Webcam and LED problem

Got my machine and everything works fine except the webcam and led controller after I uninstall some applications.
As I can see, this is not happening to me only. My webcam cannot be detected now and still doesn't work after reinstalling SCM.
Also led controller says ' don't support the led controller'.
Anyone knows how to fix this? Pls don't tell me to restore.

What did you uninstall before this happened?

Problems with webcam and microphone on Satellite with Windows 7

Hi,
I have installed Windows 7 on my Toshiba Satellite and all of a sudden the webcam and the microphone won't work.
I have tried to find the appropiate drivers, but I can't seem to find any.
Could anyone please help?
best regards
Teresa

Hi
The webcam software is designed by Chicony.
Its notebook model independent and therefore the usage of webcam software which was released for other notebook models should not be a problem.
I recommend checking the driver area for Toshiba Satellite L500 series.
There you can download the drivers for Win 7 32bit and 64bit OS.

Internal Webcam and Microphone not working after Screen Fix

I own a HP Envy Spectre XT Ultrabook, and last week I tried to use the webcam and the microphone for the first time in a few months.
However I was shocked to find that Skype kept saying that the webcam was not detected. The microphone also could not register any sound.
Device Manager did not show any imaging devices or the webcamera, even after setting it to view non-present devices.
A check using msinfo32 did not review the webcamera either, and there were no problem devices.
Control Panel >> Sound showed that the Internal Microphone using IDT High Definition Audio Codec was enabled and working, however it could not detect any sound. All drivers are checked to be up-to-date.
I suspect this has something to do with the screen repair last month which a HP on-site technician came down to replace my screen, although I cannot be 100% sure. Although the screen is now working, the technician did not do a good job reassembling the screen - the bottom left corner of the screen cover has not be able to attach properly to the screen.
I have gone through my BIOS setup to make sure that there is no webcam disabled.
I have tried rolling-back and reinstalling the drivers for the microphone but it did not work.
I have tried uninstalling CyberLink YouCam (laptop preinstalled webcam software).
Please help, these two components are very important to me as I am going overseas soon. The laptop is still under warranty.

Hey ajun,
Thank you very much for the information!
For troubleshooting your Webcam, I would suggest taking a look at the document Webcam Troubleshooting (Windows 7). I would suggest the two options Video does not appear in your webcam software (such as YouCam, Skype, Messenger, ect.), and Webcam is not listed in Device Manager.
For your internal microphone not working either, please take a look at the document Resolving Microphone and Line-in Problems (Windows 7). From this document, I would suggest following the top two symptoms.
Please let me know the outcome of these troubleshooting steps.
Good luck, and have a great day!

WebCAM and Fn+F5 or F6 does not work on T430 running Windows 8.1

I recently updated to Windows 8.1. I did not check the functionality of the Fn+F5 or F6 button back then. But I did run Skype two days ago with my webcam and that worked.
Then I ran windows and Lenovo system Update and updated all drivers except the Lenove Fingerprint, SHAREIT and the latest BIOS which are marked optional.
Now, no application can access my camera and the Fn+F6 does nothing.
I did go into the Windows privacy settings. Here Skype is on. there is no way to add apps, so e.g. I cannot add Teamviewer program or the Camera app.
I tried settings under Skype, but checking the webcam just makes Skype become unresponsive with a running circle. Same thing happens runnning Irfanview and trying to aquire a picture thought the webca,
I tried the Lenovo PC-Settings app. From the screenshots I think it is the old one I am getting. I can choose btw. Pointer,Wireless Power and location. Nothing about the webcam.
I tried stating it via the Lenovo Companion. Same problem.
In the process overview (Procexp from MS) I see Cammute.exe used by numerous processes
So, what can I do now to get them back?

I can't reproduce your issue. Definitely that CPU hanging is abnormal. I'd assume the cause is driver but you reinstalled that one. Perhaps some driver is located in the stack unproperly as there are too may components - system drivers, Lenovo PM driver, dependency settings, camera driver and settings, metro app... Also there is USB Composite controller the camera is attached to.
The only solution I see is ... delete everything I've mentioned above and reinstall them again using TVSU. Then install metro app.
Also in order to check USB driver influence I'd delete that driver too (delete USB composite controller in Device Manager). Reboot the system, Windows will find new component and install its driver. Do it before installation other components using TVSU.
Also try to connect USB devices (flash drives as an example) to every USB port and look at their behaviour.

Clock problem and shutdown problem! Are they related?

Having a problem with my Dual 2 GHz Power Mac G5
A few days ago I noticed that my clock was not showing in the menu bar in the upper right corner of my desktop.
I went into System Preferences and went to Date & Time. Under the clock tab “Show Date and Time in Menu Bar” the box was not checked off. I checked it off and went to the “Date and Time” tab. The date and time was correct. I then checked the box “Click the lock to prevent further changes” to lock it. The date and time did not show up in the menu bar. I then went back to the tab “Show Date and Time in Menu Bar” and the box I checked was not checked off even thought the lock was still locked.
I then moved my cursor up to the menu bar in the upper right corner to see what would happen and the spinning beach ball started up but only for the original icons such as Bluetooth, Mobile Me (which I do not use), Time Machine, Spaces (doesn’t indicated the number when I switch Spaces, etc. The icons Norton Anti Virus and Tech Tool Pro in the menu bar are okay.
Also, when I attempt to shut down my computer the system clears the icons from my desktop except for a picture I have on my desktop and I get a gray wheel spinning and the system just hangs until I press and hold the on/off switch. I don’t know if the clock and shutdown problems are related.
The only new software I loaded recently was Skype with Logitech WebCam for the Mac and Quicken 2007 (Had a problem with Quicken 2006). They both are working okay.
And ideas on why I cannot get my clock to show up and my computer to shutdown?

You may have to consider a new post in the Hardware forum area for the computer
model and build/year; if there is a possibility of some basis the matter could be in
the machine and not the software running within it.
Your last two/three posts are in the Leopard 10.5(.8) forum area and do indicate
some kind of problem where troubleshooting the computer to discover if the matter
at hand would be either hardware or software based, may be the way to go.
The link to the 10.6 Snow Leopard forum won't be of help if your computer is a
PPC-based G5 tower, or other older pre-Intel configuration. And I remember
your earlier questions about the iMac G4 and some other issues in the past.
You may ask the moderators to put your post in a new thread of its own, in the
Leopard 10.5 area; so as to not 'piggy-back' another topic; even though some
of the odd issues you've had seem similar to this OP's topic line and appear to
be in the same general series of hardware. {The question here seems valid.}
The routine suggestions to check, test, verify, and perhaps repair or replace
the system; save a bootable clone to suitable external standalone device if
testing a suspect computer's viability is recommended; and the basics if not
already tried to help isolate the issue(s) as you've posted elsewhere, may be
of some help to try and do; so in that matter, a new thread of your own is best
for your own directed feedback. Since this kind of advice applies to most any
situation, including troubleshooting what may be hardware or software, I'm
adding my two and three-tenths cents worth here.
Your original included Apple Hardware Test may be of some help, in the process
of elimination; but is not conclusive, so other methods would be also suggested.
Some ideas appear to cover the same ground. However, system corruption or
disc failure can also manifest itself in odd ways & affect things indirectly for a time.

So, at the risk of inadvertently alienating the OP, I am posting this as
a general help to following readers at some later time; and it may not
be too simple for a refresh course.
Some software issues can be resolved by repairing disk permissions,
and re-applying the last OS X update Combo file over the same one
already in the system; or if not up-to-date already, check & repair all
the general items and then apply the last Combo update.
A too-full hard disk drive can compromise the system integrity, so that
is a matter of course to keep up on what resources exist and remain
for the OS X to function correctly and for apps to multi-task together.
However that works out...
Good luck & happy computing!

Uninstalling Touchsmart--will webcam and dvd player still work?

I want to uninstall the touchsmart features on my 610 running Windows 7 Professional. I do not use touchsmart and the touch capability causes problems--for example, my screen can be messed up, I assume by staic electricit, if a piece of paper is moved near it.
My question is this: Will the webcam and dvd player still work after the touchsmart programs are removed.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Hi,
You can disable it using the following methods. Others will stay and work:

Java API for webcams and Electrical Engineering

Hi,
Does anyone know of and API's that allow access to:
- Webcams, so that you are able to monitor a webcam and access the images etc etc
- Electronic circuit boards, e.g. monitor hardware, such as a processing plant whereby you can monitor output, input etc
Basically a java interface to hardware, i looked at the javacomm api, but this only allows basic functionality as far as i am aware.
Essentially, i need to monitor production faciltiies interfacing to a java environment so that hardware can be controlled and monitored.
Any suggestions people ?
Thanks
K

The Java Twain API from http://www.gnome.sk is designed to connect to a camera (or scanner) directly from the java application. You can comunicate with the camera, snap images, save them, ...
If you just want to see how Java Twain works:
- java (1.2 or higher) has to be installed on your computer
- a scanner or camera has to be installed on your computer
- download the trial package from http://www.gnome.sk
- unzipp it
- go to the examples directory of the unzipped package
- doubleclick the runExampleShow.bat (for Windows) or runExampleShow.sh (for MacOS) file
This will pop up the Twain Source Selection user interface. There, all your scanners and cameras which do have a twain driver should be listed. Select one of them. The user interface of the selected scanner (camera) will appear. Confirm the scanning (you can set the scanning parameters first). The scanned image will be displayed in a separate window. To end the application, close that window.
Running different examples, you can test scanning with hidden UI, saving the scanned image, using ADF, ...
If there are any problems, inquire at the technical support [email protected], I am a member :)

Iphone power button doesn't work and LED is on

Have a black 64gb iphone 4s, (ios 6.1.3), no case - for about 1yr4mo. last week i fell asleep on the phone and when i woke up, the power button wasn't working. I left the phone plugged in for the rest of the night, and when i got up it was working again. Last night I once again fell asleep on my iphone, and woke up to find both the power button not working AND the LED light is stuck on... its kind of like at maybe 5% brightness. I put the phone in a bag of rice for the rest of the night, but this morning now, the light is still on and LED still on. Phone never officially got wet, but I suspect there was enough moisture to potentially cause problems.
phone is out of warranty and i'm trying to figure out how long i wait until i start poking around at it to see if i can do anything with it...
anyone have any ideas?

Hi, bruno7.
1. Have you tried "Mac OS: Apple Pro Keyboard Shortcuts for Shut Down and Restart"?
2. What changes did you make to your Mac before this problem arose?
3. Are you using FruitMenu? If so, check for updates, disable it, or uninstall it.
4. After you next shut down, run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
5. An errant Startup or Login Item maybe the cause. My "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is causing the problem.
6. If none of the above, when you attempt to select Shut Down or Restart from the Apple menu and nothing happens, immediately check the ends of these Console logs for clues.
Good luck!

Qosmio X505 - System Recovery CD + webcam and graphics card driver

I need some answers from anyone regarding my Toshiba Qosmio X505 notebook.
I bought this notebook back in July of this year and I am having problems with it already.
Number one, my most important concern is a system recovery disk. $1,500+ dollars I spent on this computer with a warranty it didn't come with any system recovery CD.
Once a year on all my computers I like to reinstall Windows as it makes the computer brand new again (I constantly work and even go to school on my laptop so I can't help if scrap piles up on it and it slows down after a while). What am I to do about this?
I think I read on this forums a while back that the computer came with something to create a backup disc.
I found the program "Toshiba Recovery Media Creator" that appears to create a "System Recovery."
Would this be what I am looking for to create a backup of the computers OS and preinstalled software? I want to keep all my Toshiba utilities as well as the required software to play Blu Ray movies.
Number two, the web cam. This ain't a big deal as I hardly use it but sometimes when I start the computer I get an error message saying the web camera failed to initalize and then it doesn't work at all.
What gives? This should automatically work!
Number three, my graphics card/driver has been having some problems. Particurarily when I watch videos or run something like Windows Movie Maker. My screen will completely go black and and come back on and I get an error saying something like "NVidia has crashed and Recovered", I can't remember the exact error message, I archived it in Windows Error messages and it didn't save it for some reason. How do I fix this?
I got the latest graphics card drivers from NVidia that were appropriate for this computer and for some reason it crashes alot.
Any answers to these problems is appreciated.
I love this laptop but at the same time for the price of it compared to a cheap $300 other laptop I don't expect to have any problems with the web camera or editing videos. This computer should have rock solid drivers.

> I found the program "Toshiba Recovery Media Creator" that appears to create a "System Recovery."
> Would this be what I am looking for to create a backup of the computers OS and preinstalled software?
Yes, this is the tool which creates the Recovery Disk. The recovery disk allows you t set the notebook back to the factory settings.
> Number two, the web cam. This ain't a big deal as I hardly use it but sometimes when I start the computer > I get an error message saying the web camera failed to initialize and then it doesn't work at all.
> What gives? This should automatically work
The webcam is controlled by Chicony webcam software. This software needs to be started in order to use the webcam. But also the 3rd party tools like MS messenger or Skype has an access to webcam and sometimes such tools can affect the webcam functionality.
Its hard to say why this happens but mostly everything works properly. But from time to time its needed to reinstall the webcam software.
> Particurarily when I watch videos or run something like Windows Movie Maker. My screen will completely go black and and come back on and I get an error saying something like "NVidia has crashed and Recovered", I can't remember the exact error message, I archived it in Windows Error messages and it didn't save it for some reason. How do I fix this?
This means that graphic card driver has crashed and has been started again.
Usually the graphic card driver should sort out such issues.

Satellite P745: Win 7 can't use webcam and microphone

Hi everyone,
I`ve just bought a Satellite P745 in a Best Buy store and, after getting it at home (Brazil),
I reinstalled the OS - the original was a Win 7 Home, I installed a Win 7 Pro.
The problem is that with the Win 7 Pro I simply can`t use my webcam and Mic.
The device neither is detected by Devices Manager, so I think it`s more than a missing driver.
I installed all the drivers from the Toshiba website.
My doubt is:
1. as I`ve read that this is a USB camera, is it possible that the device is not being detected because some kind of USB driver conflict? All USB drivers look like OK, but..
2. as a second option, is it possible that there`s some disconnected USB port inside the notebook?
3. After all, is there some ultimate test that I can make that gives me the answer if my USB is broken or if it`s just an installation issue?
Thank you in advance,
Filipe

> 1. as I`ve read that this is a USB camera, is it possible that the device is not being detected because some kind of USB driver conflict? All USB drivers look like OK, but..
Could be possible
> 2. as a second option, is it possible that there`s some disconnected USB port inside the notebook?
This is possible too, but in my opinion the issue is related to a missing software
> 3. After all, is there some ultimate test that I can make that gives me the answer if my USB is broken or if it`s just an installation issue?
Of course, you should test the notebook with Toshiba preinstalled and configured image.
I hope you have created a Toshiba Recovery disk before you have formatted the HDD and installed Win7 Pro. Such recovery disk would help you to set the notebook back to factory settings and to test the webcam and mic
However, you should also try to install the webcam software and should also test if the internal mic is enabled in control panel -> sound -> recording tab.
Usually if you want to use internal mic, then this should be set as default device.

Systemd and Webcam and Suspension on Lid Closing

Yesterday I finally switched to systemd and two problems came along.
The first one is that my computer now suspends when I close the lid. The screen goes dark and I have to hit buttons, this didn't happen before. Oh, now that I write this post I remember that there was an xscreensaver update, and maybe it could be related.
The second one is that the webcam light now turns on randomly at times. I might be going paranoid, but I just don't like it, I feel like I'm being spied on. I am sure no Kernel update caused this too. How can I blacklist/rmmod my webcam driver/module? I don't know how to find it, and because I'm on a laptop I can't remove it. I could tape it, but I'm looking for a cleaner solution.
Any ideas? Thank you in advance.
After some testing, I discovered that the webcam light is turned on ONLY when I get back from a "suspension". So, the issues are related.

That worked, thanks a lot!
However, I can't start "xinit" on tty1 now. It says (davidarch is my hostname):
davidarch login: [OK] Started Network Manager.
Starting WPA Supplicant
[OK] Started WPA Supplicant
And then it just sits there and I have to start X on tty2.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.

Webcam indicator LED defect on MSI GT70 ONC-027NL ?

Hi there!
I recently bought the laptop mentioned in the subject.
The webcam itself is working just fine. However the indicator LED seems to be broken.
According to the manual there's an indicator LED when the webcam is in use.
I can't get it to work. Like I said the webcam is working fine.
I tried booting Linux, but same deal. Webcam works, no indicator LED.
Seems like a broken LED or the manual is wrong and there's no webcam indicator LED.
The integrated webcam is detected as a Bisoncam NB Pro.
There's no updated driver for it other than the built-in driver for Windows 7 64 bits.
Furthermore I found no evidence online that the LED can be controlled by software.
In my experience integrated webcams on notebooks come with an indicator LED.
I tried the camsoft that came with it and other video capture applications. Tried Cheese for Linux too, still no go.
I hope any of you GT70 owners can tell me if their LED is working or if there simply is no indicator LED.
I prefer a webcam with indicator LED to know it's in use or not.
Thank you

Quote from: Stu on 02-June-12, 02:35:11
The LED is probably just broken then, if the webcam works otherwise.
If its really a big issue for you, return the notebook for replacement.
This model doesn't have a webcam indicator other than briefly indicating on/off on the screen when using the FN-F6 key combination. I contacted my supplier and after close inspection in the manual I also saw a small hole were the LED is supposed to be. This model doesn't have one, so all is fine thanks!

Early 2006 Mini Fan/LED Problems

Just posting here in case anyone is having the same problem.
I was having problems with my early 2006 Mini (Core Solo). In order to boot the machine, I would have to reset the PMU, but then the fan would run at full speed the entire time the computer was powered on, including boot time and shutdown. In addition, the status LED would not work. I tried resetting the SMU, but I would subsuquently have to reset the PMU again to get the machine to boot and the problem would still be there.
The solution turned out to be very simple. I was using the wrong power supply. I had a 85 watt supply from the G4 minis. The supply designed for the intel minis is the 110 watt one. Once I plugged in the 110 watt supply, the machine powered right up without complaint.

Edit:
Run the Apple Hardware Test to see if the fan is working properly.

It sounds like either a bad fan or it is clogged up with dust.
