Portege R705-P35 Web Cam failed to initialize

My Web camera fails to initialize. 
(This used to work, but stopped suddenly.)  Every time I start my computer, I get the message, "Web camera initialization failed. Please check your camera device and restart application or computer."
Portege R705-P35
64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium
I don't see the web camera listed in my Device Manager, either.
Any suggestions as to how I can fix this is greatly appreciated.  I do have my Recovery disks, but I don't know how to reinstall my web cam from them.

Reinstall the Toshiba Web Camera Application found HERE.

  • Web camera fails to initialize, not in device manager

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite L650D with Windows 7 'Home Prem' and have recent issues with my webcam. All was running smoothly for a year or more until one day this error message appeared " Web camera initialization failed. Please restart application or computer ".
    I also had trouble on Sykpe with the camera failing mid-conversation then not loading at all. I have un-installed and re-installed Skype in the hope that it was the problem...unfortunately not. Then after searching through the forum and Toshiba's website, I checked my application and Device Manager and was not even able to locate the device, it is not listed.
    I am more than happy to try anything to fix this problem ( although I am not very computer literate! ) and would really appreciate any advice anyone can offer!
    Many thanks =)

  • Portege R705-P35 BIOS release date question

    Hi Everyone,
    The CPU fan, thermal grease, and heatsink in my Portege R705-P35 were all replaced recently. Ever
    since the repair, the fan runs near 40% constantly and the CPU temperature is also constantly
    near 40%. (side: I got those numbers from Toshiba PC Health Monitor.)
    Because of some other posts, I checked to see if I had the
    latest BIOS version. As far as I can tell, the latest version is 2.20, which had a release
    date of 01/23/2012. From looking in the Registry, my laptop has version 2.20, but with a release
    date of 12/22/2011.
    Does anyone know if the discrepancy in release dates means anything?
    Thanks!
    Portege R705-P35 BIOS release date question

    Bert, I can occasionally hear the fan on my wife's machine.  On the two I use, I have never heard the fans since I've had the machines unless I put my ear right down to the keyboard directly above the fan.

  • Portege R705-P35 has limited to no sound

    My Portege R705-P35 has at best very low volume sounds.  Audio troubleshooters are unable to detect any problems.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the audio drivers, but this did not fix the problem.  My audio used to work properly, and I would like to know why it no longer works correctly.

    This is the audio driver you reinstalled?
    Realtek Audio Driver(v6.0.1.6083; 04-28-2010; 56.39M)
    You may want to try using System Restore to restore a previous restore point from before this became an issue.

  • Portege R835-P56X web cam application stuck on screen

    So hi peeps, Ive had my Portege for almost 3 years, and this problem just started in the last month or so. The application menu that is hidden off screen and slides out when you put your mouse there is stuck on screen, will not go away, and remains on top when other programs are running. Its extremely annoying! There's no error message or anything. Has anyone else encountered this problem? And if so, how do you fix it?
    TIA!!

  • Portege R705-P35 - Screen/Lid Flexes and bends - Is this normal?

    My screen/lid of the laptop bends when light pressure is applied to it.  I was curious if this was normal amongst the portege 705s.  Thanks.

    I too have a bezel issue with 2 breaks.  Looking to find parts and how to replace the bezel.  Will I need to seperate the screen from the keyboard in order to replace the bezel?
    I understand that the part number is located on the underside of the bezel probably on the lower right side of it.  Does anyone have the bezel part number for a R705-P35 Protege?

  • Toshiba Portege R705-35 Fails to detect video cam and speakers

    My Portege R705-P35 laptop has stopped detecting my video cam and speakers. I have updated the system Bios, audio (Realtek) and video drivers and recently reformated to reinstall original settings and drivers.  Nothing has worked.  The device manager does not detect the video cam or the standard speakers.  When I connect my Logitech headset through the USB port it picks up both the headset and the microphone.  Both work fine through Skype and in online videos.
    Has anyone else encountered this problem and, if so, figured out the solution? 

    My Portege R705-P35 laptop has stopped detecting my video cam and speakers. I have....recently reformated to reinstall original settings and drivers...The device manager does not detect the video cam or the standard speakers....
    This seems strange for these 2 seperate devices to both fail at the same time. You could also try a proper system reset and see if this helps bring them back.  Power off your system, unplug everything including the AC, remove the battery, press and hold down the power on button for 30 seconds, replace battery and AC, power on, when you see the Toshiba logo press the 'F2' key to enter BIOS Setup, in setup press 'F9' to load setup defaults, press 'F10' to save and exit, boot into Windows, and test your webcam and speakers again.
    But, when you say that you "recently reformated to reinstall original settings and drivers", do you mean that you performed a Toshiba Recovery to return your unit to its factory default out-of-the-box setup, as directed starting on page 60 of your User's Guide? This is considered the gold standard test on whether you have an actual hardware problem/failure or not.

  • R705-P35 - Create Recovery Problem

    I bought a 16bg flash drive to create the recovery files for my R705-P35 laptop, but then ran into a problem.
    1.  After inserting the flash drive, and clicking "CREATE," I got the following message:
    Format failed!     (Note I had previously formatted the flash drive)
    (Error Code:  040E2D-00-00000000)
    ... then ...
    An Unexpected Error Occurred.
    (Error Code:  040EAE-57-00000000)
    ... then the following message appeared in the recovery file creator window ...
    "The creating process for all media has been cancelled."    (my emphasis)
    Any ideas or suggestions?

    Portege R705-P35
    I had previously formatted the flash drive
    I'm only guessing here.
    If you formatted it for the NTFS file system, try formatting it for FAT32.

  • Re: Most of times Satellite T110 webcam fails to initialize

    It happens most of te times.
    The webcam of my T110 fails to initilize, and a message appears saying that Web cam failed to initilize, please verify the device and restart the program (Web Camera Aplication) or the computer!
    Other times, it works, but after a pop up appears on task bar saying that a unsupported USB device was detected and couldn't be installed!
    This is anoying! Can anybody help me please?
    Thank you.
    Manuel Quinaz

    Hi
    Seems that the webcam software stopped working.
    I think you should firstly try to reinstall this software.
    Remove firstly the webcam software from the system.
    Then clean the system and registry using CCleaner!
    Reboot the notebook twice and run CCleaner several times to ensure that everything has been cleaned properly.
    Then download the webcam software from the Toshiba European driver page and install it.
    Then reboot the unit. Start msconfig (in RUN type msconfig) and go to Startup tab.
    There you should uncheck mark from the webcam software. This will prevent the software from starting automatically. Reboot the unit.
    Now if you would like to use the webcam go to All programs -> Toshiba -> webcam software and start it.

  • Toshiba Portege Problem: *Battery is not charging and web camera initialization failed.*

    Hi, 
    I am having problems with my Toshiba Portege laptop. 1) Once laptop opens, window appears which says, "Web camera initialization failed. Please check your camera device and restart application or computer." Not sure what happened why the web cam application did not run properly. 2) Battery won't charge. When clicking the battery icon, it just says, "0% available plugged in, charging." I  can not open my laptop when the cord is unplugged. 
    Appreciate if you can help me or any advice.
    Thanks,

    always good to tell what Portege and what system is running...
    anyway -
    to #1
    an autostart process requests the camera, maybe Skype?
    some web cams on USB ports do take some time
    been initialised especially when attached via hub.
    Windows boot sequences do not wait until they finished.
    if the camera is working after a while than thats here the
    case despite that message and it can be ignored.
    to #2
    forget the software symbol for the purpose of the question -
    on any notebook you should see a battery symbol/LED
    somewhere on the case. its yellowish/orange when
    charging green when battery is full.  if it doesn't change into green
    (overnight charging) the battery is faulty or even missing...
    regards

  • Satellite L650 - Web Camera Initializations Failed

    Hello,
    I have a Satellite L650. I have had it for just under 6 months and the other day, I turned on the computer to find the web cam pop up message saying "Web Camera Initializations Failed etc..." I have also noticed that the in built microphone too isn't working anymore.
    I have uninstalled, and re installed the driver and it is still not working.
    I was wondering if there is anyone who can help or has had the same problem?
    Cheers,
    Dylan.

    Hi Dylan,
    Can you use the internal webcam with other applications like Skype?
    Have you installed the correct webcam driver for Satellite L650?
    What operating system you are using?
    If you have already reinstalled the webcam driver I would recommend using CCleaner tool. This is a very nice freeware tool that can check your registry for old registry keys and delete them. So its nice cleaning software to enhance the performance a little bit and fix problems. Just use Google to find this program.

  • Web Camera initialization failed. Satellite L655

    i bought my laptop a month ago and got this message "web camera initialization failed. please check your camera device and restart application or computer"
    done reinstalling drivers
    done disabling and enabling webcam on BIOS
    my device manager doesnt detect any webcam, but it has a unknown device in the usb but theres nothing connected on my laptop when i checked on it it says "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"  

    Toshiba installed newer version of camera SW, one of possible reasons why it doesn't work properly, do full system recovery if after reinstalling device will still not work.

  • Web camera initialization error

    I have a toshiba L650 model psk2cu-13r02c laptop.  I am getting the message "Web camera initialization failed.  Please check camera device and restart camera or application.  I have gone to the device manager and disable the device and restart the computer.  This did not solve the issue.  I have down loaded the drive tc30049700n.exe for the web camera and run this rebooted and I am still getting this error message.  Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get my web camera to work?

    If you did a Toshiba Recovery to your unit's out-of-the-box settings, and you still have no webcam appearing in Device Manager, it's safe to assume it's failed. Turn your laptop over, from the Toshiba label on the bottom, carefully copy down  your serial number.
    Call customer support:
    Customer Support in the United States
    Computers: (800) 457-7777 (toll-free) or (949) 859-4273
    You will get a Toshiba Tier 1 support 'tech'. This will in fact be some call center in the Philippines or India with a guy following a database of questions & instructions. He will probably try to get you to run the Toshiba Recovery again. Stick to your guns. Flatly refuse. Politely but strongly tell him you just did a Toshiba Recovery to the factory default out-of-the-box settings and you're not doing another. Request a warranty service number authorization.
    Depending where you live, you can take it to a Toshiba ASP, or send it in for depot service. If you can, I'd try the ASP method if I was you.
    Locate a Service Center
    Good luck.

  • WEb camera initializtion failed in Satellite P750-114

    Dear All,
    I am facing a problem with the web camera in my Toshiba Satellite P750-114. The laptop is less than two months old and the web camera was working fine, then it suddenly stopped working. The error message is "Web camera initialization failed. Please check your camera device and restart application or computer". The Microphone stopped working as well, as it is related to the web camera device. The operating system is Windows 7 64bits. It seems that the operating system is not seeing that there is a webcam anymore. I tried the following things:
    1- I uninstalled the web camera driver, downloaded the most recent driver from Toshiba website (the link is http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/supportMyProduct.do?service=UK) , and installed it, but it did not work.
    2- I restored the original setting for the laptop, but still the web camera is not working.
    Two ways I am using to test the web camera: the Skype and "Web Camera Application" from Start/Toshiba/Utilities
    Please if someone has any idea on how to resolve this problem, the laptop is band new and it is fantastic, but this problem is annoying. I searched the Internet for similar problems, some Toshiba models suffer from this problem but not P750-114,
    Please help
    Bashar

    Generally speaking, after recovery image installation all hardware components should be recognized and installed properly so with this factory settings everything should work as on the day after you purchased your notebook and started it for the first time.
    If the cam doesn't work with factory settings I can imagine there is some hardware problem.
    I recommend you to contact nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They can check cam functionality using their diagnostic tools and exchange cam if necessary.
    Of course it will be covered by valid warranty.
