Satellite A200 - Built-in camera is missing

Hi :)
First of all thank you in advance for your help.
I got a Satellite A200 without HDD, so I installed Vista 64 Bits in a new empty Disk... everything is alright but the built-in Chicony camera is missing in the Device Mannager, I tried reinstalling windows and the Last Version of the camera assistant software and nothing happens :-(
Do you think it could be a Hardware problem? I don't know if I have to connect something to the mainboard.
Thank you again for your reply.
Have a nice day :p

Hi MasterG
Your answer is really logical B-)
Today I switched HDs with another A200 (of the same model), that laptop had the original preloaded Vista 32 bits... my laptop detected my friends built-in camera but hers couldn't detect the camera in my laptop...
I don't know so much about computers but I'm afraid but this would mean a Hardware problem with my camera :_|
Do you agree?
Regards :)
Kelly
PS: Buy the way, if you think is still a Software problem... do you think the Toshiba centers have a recovery DVD for Vista 64 bits? The A200 come always with the 32 bits version

  • Can a Second Hard drive be add to a Satellite A200-298

    Hi
    I have a Satellite A200-298 which came with a 200gb hard drive I was wondering if it was possible for a second larger hard drive to be added to help with file storage Ie Itunes and movies.
    Message was edited by: Irishdiver

    Hi mate,
    unfortunately there cannot be a second harddrive added because if your machine was only equipped with one single drive then the other harddrive bay would not have a harddrive connector installed.
    I would buy an external harddrive and store my stuff there I were you..

  • How to uninstall Microsoft Office trial on Satellite A200?

    I have a Satellite A200. It came with Vista Premium but I have since upgraded to Ultimate. It came with a 60 day trial for Office 2007 which I am not interested in. I installed Office XP (which works). However documents from emails etc will start opening in Word 2007. Setup for this causes an error, although it still seems to work when you get rid of the error message.
    What I really want to do is uninstall the trial. However it won't let me - it goes through "Preparing to uninstall" and then that just disappears and nothing has happened and the program is still there. In the Microsoft Office folder the 2 versions seem to have become intermingled. I have uninstalled Office XP and tried to uninstall 2007 after that, but still no joy.
    Don't know if it's got anything to do with fact that setup has not completed properly.
    Any ideas anyone on how to get rid of it?
    Val

    Usually you should be able to remove all applications in the Windows Vista -> Software settings.
    What you could do is to remove the whole Office 2007 folder. Usually the Office lives the files here:
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office
    Then you could use an 3rd party freeware application called CCleaner to clean the registry!

  • Built in web cam has stopped working - Satellite A200

    The built in webcam on my Satellite A200 stopped working yesterday and I dont know why. I have not installed any new software recently but it is not recognized when I use Skype or any other program. When trying to use the camera, an error tells me no camera is recognized or it is switched off.
    I have uninstalled the driver and reinstalled several times but it has not helped.
    Please, does anybody have any ideas? (OS Vista).

    Hi
    Sorry but it is not easy to say what is wrong there. I recommend you to roll back OS to earlier time using system restore tool. I am pretty sure you will be able to use cam again.
    I have cam on P200 and use it with Skype without any problems. I really hopr you will be able to solve this.
    Good luck!

  • Multimedia Controller missing Satellite A200 Win XP

    I have a Satellite A200 TJ9 model laptop (Canada).
    I just installed a fresh copy of Windows XP PRO on it. (Originally came with Vista...but made the laptop waaaaay too slow).
    My problem is that I can not find a driver for a Multimedia Controller (not to be mistaken for Multimedia Audio Controller or Video Controller).
    I have sound, video, and every other driver has been installed. But I can't find out what this Multimedia controller is.
    Anybody have any ideas?
    Thanks

    Try Unknown Device Identifier 7.00 to see if it can lead you to the proper driver.  http://www.zhangduo.com/udi.html

  • Satellite M645-S4050: built in camera does not work correctly

    My built in camera does not work correctly.
    It does not have any kind of effect on and it captures pictures and videos as if some kind of thermal camera was on.
    Also some videos I load up on youtube look like this.
    I have been researching for an answer but can't find it, please help me.

    All you can do is to test it with latest webcam driver.
    Remove preinstalled camera software and install latest version offered on Toshiba download page.
    If the same happen again visit nearest Toshiba service and show them how it looks like. Maybe the cam must be exchanged.
    In the past I have used several Toshiba laptops with built in cam but I have never saw something lke this.

  • Cannot use webcam with any chat programs - Satellite A200-AH7 Vista

    Satellite A200-AH7/Vista Home Premim/Chicony 2.0 USB built in webcam
    I can't seem to figure out how to get the audio working with the built in chicony webcam when in a chat program, or any program for that matter. I can record audio and playback later, but this is not what I want to do. It's probably just something silly I am missing..but any help sure would be appreciated...I have tried with Windows Live and Yahoo messenger and so far all I can do is wave at people LOL. I have never been able to make it work...any ideas?
    Today I have purchased a Logitech Quickcam for notebooks in case the problem is with the built in camera. I don't want to install it unless absolutely necessary and believe that I would need to uninstall the Chicony to make it work...can anyone point me in the right direction?
    I just want to be able to talk to my grandkids.....
    Thanks in advance,
    Sue

    Hi
    This is a Toshiba Canadian notebook model.
    You have to check the Toshiba Canadian website to get the right webcam software:
    http://209.167.114.38/support/TechSupport/ln_TechSupport.asp
    Remove firstly the old webcam software. Reboot the notebook. Clean the registry and system using the CCleaner (its free). Reboot the notebook again an then install the new webcam software!

  • Satellite A200/W00 - Fingerprint Scanner not being recognised by software

    Hi.
    I'm running a Satellite A200/W00 Toshiba laptop (PSAF6A-0W00IN), and I just recently installed my brand new Windows 7 Professional that I just bought.
    I found the Windows 7 Drivers for my laptop on the website and installed the Protector Suite QL 5.8.0.4024, and it installed just fine.
    Once I restart my computer after installing, on the login screen where the fingerprint scanner button is to log in it says 'Cannot read scanning device', or something along those lines.
    When I log in there is another pop-up with the program on the task bar stating the same thing, that my fingerprint scanning device needs to be plugged in. It's built into the laptop, it shouldn't need 'plugging in'.
    I tried uninstalling the drivers for my Biometric device, and then on scanning for hardware changes it immediately detected my Fingerprint scanner again and reinstalled the drivers from it.
    So, my Fingerprint scanner is clearly working, but Protector Suite QL isn't detecting it. I don't understand why.
    Anyone discovered this problem or know how to fix it? I can't exactly check the state of my scanner as it is built into my laptop.

    I'm not sure what the TrueSuite Access Manager you mentioned is. If that is the program that you use for managing your fingerprints/logging in with fingerprint reader, then that is a different program than what I had come with my laptop.
    The program that came with my laptop for managing fingerprints and the reader is UPEK Protector Suite QL, and it used to work perfectly fine on Win7 RC and Vista Home Premium.
    I can't register my fingerprints at all as the program that is supposed to do it isn't finding my fingerprint reader. Logging in with the fingerprint reader is an option at the moment at the login screen, but as mentioned it says that it cannot find the reader.
    I have 'Fingerprint Login' selected in the settings with 'Allow to bypass logon using Windows password' and 'Allow user selfenroll in login', and other settings are set to 'Convenient' mode.
    I've taken a screenshot of the exact popup that comes up whenever I try to access the Fingerprint reader to register/check storage, and have uploaded it. Here is a link: [http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/4880/fingerprinterror.jpg]

  • Satellite A200 - need help with USB boot

    Hi to all,
    I have a startup problem with my Satellite A200.
    I am booting from my USB key. It is bootable Linux to install the tutorial is this:
    Insert the USB key or drive you want to boot from.
    Restart the computer.
    During startup, when prompted, press the appropriate button to display the "Boot Options". Usually it is F2, F8 or F12 (be displayed on the splash screen).
    In the boot menu, select the drive to boot from.
    The computer will now boot from the USB key or the first disc to change the boot priority back to boot from the hard drive. Perform the procedure again, but to choose the hard drive in step 4 the computer will now boot from the first hard disk.
    My problem just part shift to the right that when it restarts with the USB key plugged remain frozen and Toshiba screen is displayed but it does not load anything.
    F2 I want to access the BIOS it makes me please wait but nothing happen. I'm nothing like 1hr wait for F12 boot selections except that all boot are marked exceptions to the FDD one on which I want to boot.
    So I find myself facing an impasse because for Toshiba loads must be connected to nothing which is silly because I want to boot on my key.
    If someone has a solution...

    everything that was to change on this pc is memory ram replace a 2gb because before that I had 256mb ram memory so not much ^ ^
    yes he in the bios (f2) I fdd but by regarding the boot menu (f12) I unfortunately do not have fdd :/
    missing entry fdd me in the start menu :/ there no means a small file download is placed on the hard disk to show the "fdd" entry?
    Here is my menu (f12):

    CD-ROM
    LAN
    I even tried to run as my key with each entry in cases where but after a few seconds it gives me windows vista: (

  • Question about Ram upgrade on a Satellite A200

    hi friends,
    i`ve a Satellite A200-13O with 120GB HDD, 1.8GHz Intel Centrino Duo, 1GB ram but it has 2 512 chips installed.
    if i upgrad 2 1 GB ram is there any chance of improvement in performance....??
    and what if i upgrade to 2GB dual channel....??
    it has Windows Vista Ultimate...!!
    Thanks,
    Nagal

    You mean you would use only one 1GB ram module?
    Well, you would still have 1GB RAM but the dual channel cannot be used due to missing of second module.
    So if you can, try to use exactly the same 2 modules to get the best memory performance.
    The notebook supports two memory slots therefore you cannot do anything wrong insert 2 modules into the 2 slots to run the modules in dual channel

  • Some Microsoft Windows Update cannot be insatlled - Satellite A200-W00

    Hi,
    I Have been having a problem with updates on my Toshiba Satellite A200-W00 Machine. I have two particular updates that continuously fail.
    I have been in contact with a Microsoft personnel who has been sending me step by step trouble shooting to try but I've had no luck. These updates are:
    *Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 7 in Windows Vista (KB956390)*
    *Cumulative Update for Media Center for Windows Vista (KB955519)*
    *Security Update for Windows Vista (KB953155)*
    This was one of his emails
    From the problem description, I understand that several updates failed to be installed, and you have tried some troubleshooting suggestions, but the issue still persists. If there has been any misunderstanding, please let me know.
    Given this situation, the issue may occur if the related system files are corrupted. In order to continue troubleshooting it, please first temporarily uninstall the security programs, and test the update again. If still failed, please take your time and try the following steps to repair the system.
    In-place upgrade
    ==========
    Though this operation will not remove or modify the installed programs and files, I still suggest that we backup the important files before doing this. In addition, we may have to reinstall the device drivers after this operation. Thank you for your understanding.
    1. Start the computer and access Windows Vista.
    2. Insert the Windows Vista DVD in the computer's DVD drive.
    3. Use one of the following procedures, as appropriate:
    If Windows automatically detects the DVD, the Install now screen appears. Click Install now.
    If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, follow these steps:
    a. Click Start, click Run, type Drive:\setup.exe, and then click OK.
    Note: Drive is the drive letter of the computer's DVD drive.
    b. Click Install now.
    4. When you reach the Which type of installation to you want screen, click Upgrade to upgrade the system files of Windows Vista.
    After it completes, please try to update again.
    Please try the above steps and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If there are any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me.
    I look forward to your reply.
    Best Regards,

    However Vista was preinstalled on my laptop and obviously I don't have the disc. Anyone know where I can get hold of it or have the same problem with similar updates. I've tried disabling my antivirus, firewalls, antispyware disk checks, clean ups etc and nothing.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    In my opinion updates issue have nothing to do with notebook manufacturer and I also think that Microsoft is the right address where you must ask for help.
    About missing recovery DVD there are no many options for you. If you don't have it you can order new copy for you. The right address is https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  • Satellite A200 screen stays black when trying to boot

    Hello everyone,
    My Toshiba Satellite A200 notebook is not working anymore, so everything started when I was playing a game, suddenly, the screen turned blue with some tiny text written on it. I had to hold the power button a few seconds to close it because nothing was happening on the computer. I then pressed the power button to open it. Everthing was going well, until the welcome screen. At this part, it was written "Welcome" but the Vista loading circle left of it wasn't turning.
    After a few seconds, I decided to close the computer again, so I did hold the power button so the computer closed. Here is the problem : I tried to reopen it, but the screen stayed black. Nothing was happening. The power light was blue, but not any computer activity. So I let it like that a few minutes then closed it and tried again, but the same thing happened. I tried to disassemble it and noticed one of the two memory card wasn't fully in its slot. I fixed it, but it didn't fix the problem.
    I also tried to plug another screen on it, but that one was also black. So I put back the screen on its computer and tried to boot my laptop and it worked. It was booting, but the first problem came back, the Welcome screen was frooze there. So yes I did close it again and then the same thing happened, the screen stayed black.
    I don't think the problem is the screen because as I said sometime it goes to the welcome screen. Also I don't hear any welcome sound when the screen stays black as if the computer would simply not start up. And as I said earlier, I don't see any computer activity on the little light in front of the computer. And left of this one, I clearly see that the computer is ON because the power light is blue.
    So this is my problem, next time the computer manages to start up I'll try to boot it on the SAFE MODE, but until then, I don't know what to do. Please, help me.
    Thanks in advance,
    MrRoy
    EDIT :
    After letting the computer turned off for about 30 minutes, I started it, and booted in safe mode. At this step, I securely closed my comptuer with the shut down button instead on holding the power button. Then I reopened my computer, and it booted and the problem was fixed. Now my notebook is openened and working.
    So if this is happening to you :
    1. Shut down you computer.
    2. Wait for about 30 minutes.
    3. Boot in safe mode
    4. Shut it down using the shut down button istead off holding the power button.
    That should work.

    Finally, it doesn't work. I don't know why but my computer did start up after the 30 minutes, but now it's not working anymore. It just won't startup like I said later, with a black screen.
    The computer did work for about half an hour. I mean, I managed to start it up but after executing a program, it just froze and I had to hold the power button to restart it. I did it about 3 or 4 times, then it simply did the black screen again. I think the problem is my processor, maybe it's damaged or something, could it be possible?
    Because I see that the processor isn't working when I try to start it up.
    So let's say it's damaged, would that be the symptoms of my computer?
    And if it's the processor, the only way to fix it is to send it to a reparator or something, because I don't feel like it, I'd rather do it myself.
    But right now, my computer is simply not booting, like I said in my previous post.
    Thanks in advance,
    MrRoy
    Note : The edit button wasn't there so I had to double post :/

  • Satellite A200 and iTunes 2131 error

    Hello, new to the forums here.
    I did a search and couldn't find anything current on the 2131 error I'm getting from Itunes with regards to burning CD-Rs. I understand the Dell computers using the same optical drive have a patch, just wondering if one is available for my Satellite A200-03V?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, I am wondering if someone can help me with the problem above but with a twist in that the laptop I have is a PCNextDay with a TSSTcorp CDDVDW SN-S082H inside.
    I am getting the same 2131 error in itunes as the first poster and wonder if there is a firmware update available for the S-082H - i saw somewhere else there was an update for the L632H and hoping for similar. The link in the reply above mine allows you to enter in your laptop details for a Toshiba machine but I cannot find any actual details on the device itself.
    Sorry if I am missing something but I would greatly appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction as currently the only option I have is to use expensive CRRW (particularly expensive in Norway!) rather than CDRs for burning music cds which then dont play in my car anyhow.
    In my searches for something on this I have also seen that Samsung have a CDDVD writer with the same product code (at least the SN-S082H) so wonder if this is a shared development (probably) and if that means I can use their firmware (maybe risky?).
    Grateful for any help. Thanks!
