Satellite A210 - Built in webcam doesnt work

After i reinstall my notebook (Satellite A210) with the factory DVD, my webcam get this error... "Webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer".
What can be wrong? I have this notebook only 1 month and I bought it as brand new notebook.

It is very stupid situation. I have A200 with web cam and when OS installation is finished starts one small wizard and check if webcam is there or not. Hardware is recognised and all necessary drivers will be installed. After restart everything works well.
I presume the same should happen when you try to install your A210. Am I right? Try with recovery installation again. Maybe next time everything will be ok.

Satellite C850-A797 webcam doesnt work

I have Toshiba Satellite C850-A797 and my webcam doesnt work
I think it is because of Windows update and *the new software interrupt every time i download it,*
It is problem of the server of toshiba as i think
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

Hi
Question 1)
What system do you have? As Im no mistaken the Satellite C850-A797 was preinstalled with Windows 7 64bit.
The webcam drivers as well as other drivers for Satellite C850 series can be downloaded here:
http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
I actually downloaded the webcam driver for the above page and it worked properly.
Check this [webcam driver v 2.0.3.39 for Windows 7 |http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory =2&selFamily=2&selSeries=312&selProduct=7499&selSh ortMod=null&language=13&selOS=30&selType=315&yearu pload=&monthupload=&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=a llMachines&search=&action=search&macId=&country=al l&selectedLanguage=13&type=315&page=1&ID=88046&OSI D=30&driverLanguage=42]

Webcam doesnt work on my Satellite A300-243 with Win7 32bit

As it suggested in one of the forums i downloaded other driver from A500/ A350 ect non of them worked.
displayed on the screen:
"Webcam is either disabled or has failed. Please check your webcam settings" also Camera is not listed in Device Manager." imaging not listed.
I restarted and used cccleaner after my attemps and nothing succeded.
What else I could do.
PLEASE HELP ME.

I have an A 300. I just fixed this problem by replacing the cable. It took me 3 hours to disassemble the laptop (clean it) and put it back together again. Now it works like New! The spare part number of the cable is V000932480.
In my case:
- camera stopped suddenly for no apparent reason.
- I didn't upgrade my OS or anything
- it beep every time I closed the screen
- It didn't show on device manager (only at 45dg position but I couldn't do anything anyway)
- camera software crashed every time, and said; Camera not found, restart or install.
In my opinion, after some time, the wire got damaged just by the hinge, although I couldn't see anything broken.
If you have the same issue and you are used to open the laptop then don't look on SW issues... just change the cable. If you are not sure then just buy an external web cam. it wont solve the problem but it would be much easier.
I hope it helps someone as other posts helped me. Good luck

Satellite A210 (PSAEG) - Microphone doesn't work on Windows 7 64bit

Hello, the micro doesn't work under windows 7 64 bit, the driver I'm using is Windows Vsta 64 bit. The volume is set up maximun and so is the amplification but no way to make it work with skype or toshiba camera assistant software.
Can anyone help me?
thank you

Hi Largo09,
Usually you have to install the webcam and sound driver to get the microphone working. The microphone is a part of webcam
As you wrote, Satellite A210 is not Windows 7 64bit supported so the only option you have are Vista 64bit drivers
In my opinion you should check if Microphone is enabled in Windows sound settings. There you can also enable Microphone boost, that can increase the microphone volume.

My built-in webcam stopped working after installing Windows 7 - HELP!!

I have an HP Pavilion dv6636nr Entertainment Notebook computer. It came installed with Windows Vista and I just recently installed Windows 7, 32-bit onto it. The built-in webcam worked for a short time, but now it doesn't even show up in the device manager and no longer functions. I don't know if there are drivers in conflict or what, but I am very frustrated. Any help anybody can provide would be greatly appreciated, as HP no longer supports this laptop because it's OLD. Thanks!

Hi,

Follow these steps to re-install the driver for the webcam. You will need to be logged in as an Administrator or have an Administrator password ready.
1. Click the Windows Start button.
2. Click Control Panel, System and Maintenance and then Device Manager.
3. Right-click on Chicony USB 2.0 Camera and select Update Driver Software. A yellow exclamation point indicates that the camera is recognized by Windows but is not working properly, probably because of problem with the device driver
4. Select Browse my computer for the driver software.
5. Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
6. Select USB Video Device from the list, and click Next.
7. If the message “Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device” appears, click Close.
8. Restart Windows.

Satellite A210 - FN buttons are not working with another OS

Hello,
I've reinstalled my Toshiba Satellite A210-1BX with another Win OS
My problem is, that the Fn - button doesn't work and the pop down on the top of the screen isn't there.
Which driver or programm will I need to install that function? I have installes all driver from the Toshiba site :-/
Thanks

To be honest your posting is a little bit confusing.
First of all the Satellite A210-1BX belongs to the PSAELE series.
All drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba European driver page.
If you are using Vista then install all the drivers from the Toshiba page.
The VAP (2 or 6 buttons) has nothing to do with FN buttons.
The 2 or 6 button version is related to the Toshiba Control buttons above the F1-F12 button row.
The FN buttons will work using the right BIOS (the newest one) and the Value Added Package v1.1.7.

Blackbery z 10 built in speakers doesnt work

Hey j84girl,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Since you reloaded the device software and the issue is still on-going, I would suggest contacting your network service provider for repair options as this could be hardware related.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

My webcam doesnt work

I have E531 lenovo thinkopad.
My cam seems to be on when i check settings..
but it doesnt work on skyppe ?

Hi SnowWolfX,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with camera on your ThinPad E531.
Have you check if the driver is installed properly from device manager, if installed check if it is enabled from setting.
Press Windows + C to enter the charms bar and go to PC setting select privacy and go to Web-camera option and check if it switches ON.
Check with this option and let us know the findings.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Hemanth Kumar

Satellite L300 - Built In webcam suddenly stopped working

Hello,
I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 with a built in 2.0 USB camera and a windows 7 operating system, the camera suddenly stopped working since about 2-3 weeks ago with unknown reason!
I already tried system restore, un-installing and re-installing the camera driver, preformed a full scan by kaspersky internet antivirus 2012 (up to date), and I also ran a complete system and drivers troubleshooting ... and the problem still exists ...
When I use the windows live movie maker it gives me an error saying: cant record audio or video from the selected device. Make sure that the device you're trying to use is installed properly and not currently in use by another program.
The microphone works well on skype but the camera doesn't open!
Please tell me how to fix it, what am I missing?

> webcam appears in the device manager
Is it marked with an yellow exclamation mark?
Usually if the webcam software has been installed, you should be able to start this software going to:
All Programs -> Toshiba
There you should find the webcam software check if you can use and control the webcam after this software has been started normally the webcam control bar should pop up if you would move the mouse cursor above the upper display area PS: the bar can be moved to other area too; left right or bottom

Satellite A215-S7444 built-in webcam not working with MSN / Skype

Hi, I've just bought my laptop and right after installing the newest MSN and Skype, the video is not working with these programs. I tried to configure the video settings inside MSN and it told that "windows cannot connect to this webcam. It's in currently in use or not plugged in". The webcam is built-in, a Chicony USB 2.0.
Any hints ??

Hi there,
maybe you should download the webcam software for your machine from the toshiba driver download site and install it. The webcam works but the software sometimes behaves really weird so you just have to reinstall it. Maybe its an good idea to uninstall the old software before...
Greetings

Built in microphone doesnt work

My built in microphone doesn't work. Any tips to fix it? My webcam is also broken so I bought a USB one but that's not picking up sound.

Is the built-in microphone listed as an input device in the Sound preference pane or in the Skype preferences dialog?
If it isn't, there's a slim chance you might be able to solve the problem by booting in safe mode and then rebooting as usual, or by resetting the SMC.
Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
If those steps don't work, there's an even slimmer chance that you might solve the problem by reinstalling OS X. Your profile says you're running 10.6.8. You would need your installation disc to reinstall that, which you probably don't have with you.
Failing all that, you might be able to use a USB microphone, if you can find one. Don't buy another analog microphone with a mini-audio connector. It won't work.
