Satellite Pro L670-18F PSK3FE Webcam stops working become "Unknown Device"

The *webcam* on my *Satellite Pro L670-18F PSK3FE* which is running *Windows 7 64-Bit* worked fine until this week. My notifications bar started to say *"unknown USB device"* and when when I went to use the webcam it was no longer working.
When I turned the webcam off in the BIOS the notification stopped but when I turned it back on the notification kept coming up again. The unknown device is clearly the webcam.
I have updated my BIOS and tried system restore.
I have also downloaded the driver for the webcam from http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=UK and have been trying to run that - +but it NEVER seems to finish installing!+ I will keep trying to reload the driver and see if that helps but as of now I do not believe that the driver will help.
If this is only a driver problem could someone suggest how I get the driver to actually install :-(
I am now at a loss. I am unsure what to do now. Suggestions?... +please!+

Hi
Unknown device means that the driver is not installed.
I think the webcam driver installation should fix this.
Since the face recognition use the webcam too, I recommend uninstalling this tool as well as the old version of webcam software.
Both (or just face recognition) should appear in control panel -> software
Now download the both applications from the driver page.
Start with webcam driver installation:
1) Unzip the webcam driver package
2) The TC30049700N.exe can be unzipped too (right click -> extract here)
3) Now you should see different files exe, dll, and others try to execute the setup.exe to start the installation. If this does not work, go to device manager, mark the unknown USB device (webcam) and install the driver pointing to the extracted folder containing the webcam driver files. The system should pick up the dll files automatically.
4) Reboot the notebook and follow with face recognition software.
Good luck

Installing 8GB ram on MacBook Pro (Mid 2010)

Hi, I have bought 8GB(2*4GB) ram to install on my macbook pro, when I install both I get a black screen but when installing one or the other with one of the original ram they both work. What can I do to fix this problem??

Re: Installing 8GB ram on MacBook Pro (Mid 2010)

When you install RAM, reboot your computer with the "D" key held down (or the Option-D keys). These will load the Apple Hardware Tests.
With these tests open, check the box for the extended memory test, and then start the test. This will have the system thoroughly test the RAM for errors.
In your case, it appears you may have a bad set of RAM modules, but you can check them using the method above.
When you have them paired with your original RAM, how much memory does the system report as being available when you select About This Mac in the Apple menu? If you are using Lion or Mountain Lion, then in this panel click "More Info" and then select the "Memory" section, and see what the system reports as being installed.
Is this RAM test necessay with every upgrade of memory or just if you have problems after the upgrade
Thanks

Which Solid State Hard Disk for Satellite Pro L670?

I have a Satellite Pro L670 which I want to configure for presentation purposes and have to re-load the operating system anyway.
Rather than over-write the existing disk, I thought it would be better to get a second one to fit instead.
Replacing the current (old-fashioned) spinning disk with a solid state one seems to me the best way to go.
Has anyone else fitted a solid state hard disk to a Satellite Pro?
For budget reasons I am planning to go for a 120GB capacity which will be enough.
However I have yet to find out from Toshiba what they might recommend. Anyone else yet gone this route?

Hi
Theoretically any SATA SSD drive should be compatible because the notebook supports an SATA controller.
But in some cases it could be possible that an SSD drive would not be handled properly. In such cases the SDD drive manufacturers provides different firmware updates
So before purchasing an SSD drive check the support pages of SSD drive manufacturers for further details maybe an firmware update would be available

New Satellite Pro L670-14M won't turn on unless the charger is plugged in?

Hi All,
New to the forum so would be grateful for any help on this matter.
I purchased a Brand New Satellite Pro L670-14M laptop last week. Now it has been working fine up until today. The last time I used it while just running off the battery was monday evening. I was working on the laptop sending email etc today, and I decided to move rooms. For a reason I have yet to discover I unplugged the charger from the wall (instead of just unplugging the charger from the laptop) while it was plugged into the laptop and the laptop just switched off much to my shock. The was no sparks that i saw from the outlet as i removed the plug but now the laptop will not switch on unless the ac power supply is connected. If i unplug the charger the computer will not turn on.
Now my first thought is that i have (crossed the beams) killed the battery, but the strange thing is, when the laptop is plugged in and turned on and I'm on my desktop screen and i click on the battery icon in the taskbar it states '94% available (plugged in, charging)
While I wait hopefully for some responses I will turn the laptop off and leave the charger plugged to see if the battery has charged beyond 94%

Hello
I think BIOS update would be worth a try in your case. Have a look on Toshiba driver download page:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
But before you start the update: Make sure you are logged in as Administrator and close all running programs. Unzip all files from zip archive firstly.
After successful BIOS update load the default settings in BIOS.
Do you use original Toshiba battery and AC/DC adaptor or are they 3rd party parts?

How to install Windows XP in Satellite Pro L300-1A9?

Hi!,
first of all, sorry if I'm asking something really obvious, but I'm quite new with this issues...also sorry for my English, I'm not native.
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 1A9 with Windows Vista preinstalled but the thing is I prefer Windows XP. I have tried to install it but it won't work.
I have read lots of posts and comments about this issue in this forum and also in the web. The problem is I don't know if the procedure and the drivers to download are the same for all the L300 models. Mine is L300 1A9.
Anyone could give me some extra simply instructions (I'm a beginner) about how to do solve this problem or any link relating this issue? I have seen many of them, but none about this model L300 1A9.
Thank you very much!!

Hi Lars_3,
thank you very much for your reply and interest.
When I say that installing Windows XP doesn't work, I mean that my laptop has Windows Vista but I have tried to reinitialized (format) it to install Windows XP, but when I run the Windows XP (original) disk an error message pops up and I can't continue the installation.
I have had a look to the Toshiba's downloads link you posted, but there's no mention to the L series model. The options available are for M-Series and Net-Book series, so I wonder if it is possible to use one of them for my Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 1A9?
Thank you very much for your kind help!

Is it possible to install Windows 7 on Satellite Pro 6100

Is it possible to install windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite pro 6100 machine? I 'm currently using windows XP.
thanks.

Hi buddy,
Do you really think about Windows 7 installation on many years old Satellite Pro 6100???
In my opinion this will not work because its too old and not fast enough. Newest OS that is supported from Toshiba is Windows XP and this should be the best choice for this oldie.
So just be satisfied with Windows XP, its a good choice for older computers! :)

How to install WLAN adapter in Satellite Pro A10

I am trying to set up a wireless connection with my Satellite Pro A10. I thought it was wireless enabled, but when I toggle the wireless switch, no light comes on and there is no wireless card listed under Network adaptors (so I guess not).
How easy is it to install a wireless adaptor (i.e. can I do it myself or do I need to have it done by a professional)? Can anyone recommend which card I should by (or any I should avoid)?
Thanks.

Hi
According the notebook specification your Satellite Pro A10 is WLAN ready. In notebook specification there are listed two compatible WLAN cards:
PA3212U-4MPC (Agere 802.11b) and PA3273U-2MPC (802.11a/b).
I really do not know if you can use some faster WLAN cards with standard g. Maybe you will be lucky and someone will post here WLAN card upgrade results.
I am not 100% sure where the WLAN slot is placed but check please under the cover placed nears the battery.

Satellite Pro M70-113: Not possible to write on CD-R and DVD-R

Hello,
I have a Toshiba satellite pro m70-113 laptop.
Reading Problems:
I am unable to read any cd-r. This is really strange as a couple of days earlier those CD-R were reading fine on my drive.
and when i click the cd drive in my computer an error dialog shows and says F: is not accessible/incorrect function. Here is a screenshot for the error..:
http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/9574/1bp3.jpg
And when I try to read my DVD-R, some times they read fine but sometimes it doesn't read it and the LED of the drive keeps lit when it doesn't read the dvd-r.
When it doesn't read the DVD-R, the following error comes: Screenshot here: http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/9674/2bc0.jpg
Writing Problems:
After getting the reading problems I tried to test my drive for writing.
And i found that I am unable to write on cd-r. I used alcohol, and Nero both but no success.
Though same content when burned on cd-rw its a success.
I am able to burn successfully on DVD+RW 4x media, with data amounting to almost 4.34GB for DVD5..
When I insert a DVD-R media the drive doesnt detect it as a blank media and the LED keps on lighting constantly and so nero at this state doesnt detect my dvd drive even! So i am not able to write to my DVD-R media..
In short: only write to RWs is possible for both, cd-r and dvd+RW, and no writing possible on CD-R and DVD-R.
Please help me.
It's only 7 months since I purchased this notebook and believe there can be no other person on this planet who takes care of the drive better than me!
Really, I have not used this drive much and never inserted scratched/degraded/local media, only moserbaer media.
Thank

Hi
Well, according to your description it sound like the drive cannot calibrate the lens and therefore its not possible to read or write these medias.
Usual its not possible to fix this and the drive replacement is needed.
You can also check the user manual. There you can find a list with all supported and compatible medias.
I have found also this topic in the forum:

Installed 8GB Ram into Macbook Pro, System Report says it only has 2GB RAM

I decided to upgrade my 13.3 inch MacBook Pro from 4GB Ram to 8GB Ram.
I purchased two Crucial 4GB Ram from two different dealers on Amazon and installed them myself.
I turned my MacBook on and now it says that only one slot is being used and that it is a 2GB.
I have a feeling that either one of the Ram slots has failed, however it still puzzles me that it says that 2GB of RAM is installed? Is there any way of refreshing the 'About This Mac' or is there anything to make the Mac recogise this problem?
Thanks in advance

open the mac back up and make sure both ram modules are seated properly. It takes a little hard push to get them seated and you will hear a click/snap when they are seated. To determine if a ram slot has failed, simply put back in the old ram, and if both slots are recognized, the problem is with the new ram.

Can't install windows XP on Satellite Pro A200-1N2

hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite A200-1N2 PSAE3E and I don't want Vista on my laptop. i downgraded the bios to V5.30 But still can't install windows xp and from the bios still there is no optin for SATA.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks.

Hi
Did you install the SATA drivers firstly?
You need this driver to recognize the HDD!
You should download the Intel Matrix Storage Manager. You should find it either on the Toshiba driver page or on the Intel website.
You must perform the installation from an external USB FDD drive using the F6 button while the Win XP setup.

Installing WXP on new Satellite Pro L550

Hi,
I have a new Sat Pro L550 and need to downgrade to XP. If I want to go back to Windows 7 in future can I?
Thanks, Lisa

Hello Lista
In my opinion you should look forward and start to use newest operating system Windows7. It is really good operating system, well done and runs with good performance on Toshiba notebooks.
Please note that you have newest notebook model with newest hardware designed for Win7 standards.
Yes you can install Win7 anytime you want.
Win7 is fully supported and you will not have problems with it.
To go back on WXP has no much sense for me except you want to use some old software designed for WXP only.
Anyway, which notebook model do you have exactly (L550-xxx)?

Satellite Pro L670-14p upgraded to Windows 8 - ATI Driver out of date

Hi,
Recently installed Windows 8 as part of a dual boot system on my laptop. I went to try to play one of the games I usually play under Windows 7 to find it would not even attempt to start as the graphics drivers were out of date... I've searched the Toshiba website for compatible drivers, only to find the newer laptops supported... I've looked around the internet and there is no mention of Windows 8 compatible drivers for the L670-14p.
I know Toshiba have got to make their money, but is it really feasible for them to expect the average punter to by a new laptop everytime a new OS comes out?
As I dual boot, its not really that big an issue, since I can go back to 7, but what about your less techincally minded customers, that have installed Windows 8 on fully capable computers, but the woeful lack of driver updates has now made that process a nightmare for them?
I have always bought Toshiba, since I use my laptop for both business and pleasure... my old Tosh, an Equium is still going strong, no issues at all... but I'm afraid the indifference of Toshiba towards driver updates is staggering, especially for modern machines. The inability and shortsightedness to not fully support a major new OS on release such as Win 8 is quiet frankly pathetic....
I'm sure other laptop manufacturers that actually update their drivers will be thankful for Toshiba's business

> I know Toshiba have got to make their money, but is it really feasible for them to expect the average punter to by a new laptop everytime a new OS comes out?
In the past Toshiba has offered very good support for different operating systems. I understand you very well but problem is that with Win8 many things are new and Microsoft is player that defines new rules.
In my opinion Toshiba and any other notebook manufacturers offer just hardware package and take care that everything works stabile and user friendly.
Notebook manufacturers offer numerous new notebook models every year and it is not possible that they will go back and offer full support for old models.
I dont know how it works exactly but I dont think Toshiba make this ATI driver. This driver is from hardware manufacturer. What Toshiba do is testing, make some corrections or limitations and offer it for the customers. Thats all.
I have checked which GPU is inside in your notebook. It is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 and this card was used on older models. Unfortunately none of them is supported for Win8.
I know it is maybe stupid situation now but we had the same problem in the past when Microsoft has offered Vista and later Win7. Just specific models were supported.
At the end I must say that Im pretty sure that you will remove Win8 from the system pretty soon when you see how it works.

Cannot get USB port to work after re-installing of SP2 on Satellite Pro L20

After re-installing XP Home SP2 and downloading all the updates & Drivers from here I cannot get my USB port to work properly, if I have more than one peripheral plugged in it says "Bandwidth Exceeded".
I have a Behringer BCD2000 which is a souncard/midi controler for DJ mixing, it worked fine before i reinstalled windows, now it clicks and pops when playing tunes, also the ASIO doesn't work when I run Traktor (Dj software) and the program freezes. Any other external sound card wont work either. I've been all through the device manager no conflicts apart from an ! over Serial under hidden devices.
I'm lost, is my only option buying a PCMCIA sound card, it worked fine before so surely there is a software solution to this?
If anyone can help I'd be most appreciative.

Hello
Try to disable USB Error Detection:
1. Right-click My Computer and then click Properties.
2. Select Device Manager to view the Device Manager
3. Locate and click the Universal Serial Bus Controller entry.
4. Double-click Universal Host Controller and then click the Advanced tab of the Universal Host Controller Properties.
5. Put a checkmark in the box for Disable USB Error Detection. Click OK.
6. Restart the computer to see if "Bandwidth Exceeded" message occurs again
Did you use recovery media to reinstall WXP? When someone write it worked before and now not it is really not easy to say why this happen. Try to configure notebook as before and maybe it will work again. Behringer BCD2000 is not known to me and I dont know how it works and which software must be preinstalled there.
Can you use different USB devices like external HDD, USB mouse, USB memory stick or printer?
