Starcam 370i - LEDs on all the time?

Hi All,
Having just purchased a Starcam 370i, I've already posted in another thread about the colour issues I'm having.
But my question - is there some way you can stop the white LEDs from automatically coming on each time the computer is turned on?
I can't find any software settings :(
Cheers
Callan

My opinion of this webcam has gone down hill since I first installed it.
The light comming on is a pain, and it's useless for working on a desktop anyway. Why didn't they include a switch on the webcam to turn it off manually.
The snapshot button on the camera causes blurred images, and they didn't have the sense to include a version of amcap with a software snapshot feature, I had to find one on the web.
Colour recognition is lousy. How can they advertise this webcam as a camera
with it's 1.2 Mega pixel images, when it can't even get the colours right.
Before adding features to turn it into a security camera, it might have been an idea to get the basics right first. Didn't anyone test it before shipping?
Heads should roll. Start with the designer and the person who signed it off.

  • LED on all the time

    The green LED light in front of the Webcam Live. It's on all the time. I thought it supposed to be on only when the webcam is doing capture?
    If the LED is on all the time, how can I tell if the webcam is capturing or not?

    The led just indicates that it's connected to USB and activated by the webcam-drivers.
    To capture you need software. there you can see if the cam captures or not.
    At least it's that way with the led of my WebcamGo.

  • Satellite L655-1EM - why does LED flash all the time?

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite L655-1EM this afternoon, and since I've had it on one of the LEDs won't stop flashing.
    It's the one next to a short fat cylinder.
    Any help would be much appreciated, I even turned everything off and it still flashed!
    My old laptop didn't do this.
    The LED is really bright so it's very noticeable, and it even flashes in hibernate mode!

    Every time when some info must be read from HDD the LED will blink and show HDD activity.
    I cannot understand why do you wondering when HDD blinks. It is logic that from time to time something will be read or written on HDD, even if you dont do anything.
    Do you know how many background processes run on your notebook?
    Please dont make big thing with this. It is nothing unusual and quite normal.

  • Red LED is on all the time

    I got the problem with new phone z30.
    i just had it for a week and when i turn on the phone from the first time.
    there a red led on and it kept on all the time never stop.it hot really hot when i make or receive a phone call.
    it burning my ear. i try all the way from reset, to turn of all the notifications off but it still on..
    Can some one help ....

    Reboot: On the side edge volume keys, press and hold down both of the Up and Down volume keys for about 20 seconds, ignoring the initial screenshot message... the screen will go black and reboot.
    Now, if the red LED continues ON, check your Settings > App Manager and determine which of your apps is using the CPU the most, or draining the battery.

  • The wireless led on my Aspire 5535 is ON all the time

    The wireless led on my Aspire5535 is ON all the time, it will not turn off when the wireless button is pushed, instead I get a message on the screen " No Wireless Device" even though there is a card physically installed. Push the bluetooth button and the the message is "No Bluetooth Device ". I have changed the Atheros card and installed newest drivers also have replaced the "Launch card ". I still get the same problem. The machine works ok with a dongle but I would like to use the USB slot. Should I buy a different wireless card instead of the "G" band go for a "N" band? As there is no Bios update I cannot do anything with the Bios, (thinking it may be corrupt). Should I purchase a Bios chip?or has anyone any Ideas as to how to solve my problem. Regards to allBarry D

    Hi
    You have a couple of options as I see it please try these steps might help you to fix your issue.
    1) Disconnect the Battery & Adapter then press & hold the power button on Notebook for 30 seconds then turn on the unit and check if the Wireless light turns on.
    2) Go to Device manager then uninstall the wireless drivers from Network Adapter and restart the unit and check if the light turns on.
    3) Please update the Bios & Wireless driver from HP website.
    4) Click start in search type Recovery Manager then click on it select Yes on User access control then select I need immediate help then select Driver & application recovery select the wireless driver and install it then restart the unit.
    5) If you are comfortable reseating the wireless card which will be on the back panel off your unit you could try this steps as well.
    If still you have the same issue then you need to call HP Technical support and get the part replaced.

  • The led is on all the time

    hello again!
    the led is on all the time on my precious playbook 64GB! - green, yellow or red depending on the battery status.
    any suggestion for closing the led? - aside from sticking the bubble gum, coloring it with some permanent marker or   definitely physical removing it?!
    it is verry annoying, especially in dark ambient light.
    thank you!

    you might have a battery connector issue, you can pop off the back and remove the battery connection and put it back in. It does require a screw driver and you cant slip when doing this or a short can happen.
    if that dont cure it then let it power down to 5 % and then reboot it while charging and then once at 77% reboot it again and drain it and then charge it again.

  • Problem in Cisco 1410 Bridge - Install LED in solid amber all the time

    Hi, have anyone encountered during power up of Cisco Aironet 1410 (with integrated antenna), the Install LED status is solid amber all the time?
    At Bridge LEDs
    Install LED - solid amber
    3 LEDS - none
    At power injector
    Uplink - Off
    Injector - Blinking Green
    Ethernet - Off

    Two things.
    1. Did you assign the role of that bridge? Root, non-root, etc.,
    2. Check for "install" mode on the GUI itself and that may lead to finding the problem.

  • G50-70: empty DVD-drive clicking and freezing other drives for about 30 seconds all the time

    Hello board. Big problem. Seem to be the only one having this after searching the board:
    Brand new G50-70: When using OS from the SSD or using OS from the SSD and doing things with a USB-drive, the empty internal DVD-drive making clicking sound and sometimes freezing SSD read/write operation for about 30 seconds but all the time freezing USB-storage read/write operation for about 30 seconds.
    When freezing there's always clicking. But when clicking there's not always freezing except when using USB-storage.
    OS is Win81-64.
    An example scenario: connect USB stick, open terminal, type diskpart, dvd-drive clicks and freezes opening of diskpart for about 30 seconds, then the same may or may not happen when entering commands like clear the stick and format the stick.
    Any clues, why I have this issue? Thank you very much for reading.
    Solved!

    hi georg43,
    it's possible that there's a software running on startup that's accessing the ODD when the machine is being used (especially if the ODD LED blinks when it's being accessed)..
    To check, you can perform a clean boot to temporarily disable apps & services running on startup. If the machine functions properly on a clean boot, you will need to enable the startup services/programs that you have disabled in groups of two or three (trial and error) to find the culprit. You can start by enabling the lenovo services and apps first followed by the Intel ones and observe.
    In addition, you can also try to disable the DVD-drive under device manager and observe.

  • [WTA] MSI P55-GD65 6 phase on all the time? Where's APS?

    Hello, First Post here..
    I bought a MSI P55-GD65 lately and it runs spectacular and overclocks nicely. the newer BIOS 1.6 is noticably more stable when High VDroop is used than the BIOS 1.5, resulting in more power-efficient system of my own despite overclocking  .
    But nonetheless, i have some issues i would like to be answered:
    1. When I use BIOS 1.5, the core voltage would be dropped to 0.896 (CPU-Z) when i set the core voltage as auto and all the power saving features enabled (C1E & EIST Enabled, C6 state selected, Turbo Mode off). but when i flash into BIOS 1.6, the same setting does not result in decreased voltage, the core clock still slows down though like it used to be. Maybe the next revision of BIOS will fix it?
    2. I searched this forum about APS on P55-GD65, i have found that somebody here had testified that the BIOS 1.6 fixes the all-phase-working problem, as i was having the same problem too. Then i decided to flash to 1.6 too (which work flawlessly with your USB Flasher by the way, kudos  ). But the problem still persists. APS only works when i apply through Control Center. i wonder about APS statement of "will work regardless of operating system" is a true and automated one. And yeah, i have tried to clear CMOS and run it on nominal mode and still no changes from BIOS 1.5. The 6 phase LED is lit all the time unless i "apply" in Control Center.
    My Current system are:
    MSI P55-GD65 (Lotes ILM)
    I5 750
    HD 5770
    Silverstone Zeus 750Watt
    WDC Black 500GB
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    Thanks for your attention.

    you have to run the cpu at default settings so (133mhz X multiplier) the slight overclock of the cpu will disable power saving so all the phase leds will constantly be lit up.
    Have the multiplier running at 160 because of XPM 1600 memory blocks, and the board runs with 2/3 phases in normal mode.
    Are using BIOS 1.3 because of XPM problems with other versions.

  • 5 Phase - ALL LIT ALL THE TIME

    Hello everyone again!!
    OK... quick question... read in the manual about the 5 phase led indicators on the board... but there was no reference to what the power levels actually mean... mine is showing all 5 blue led's lit all the time.... is this a bug???  Should it drop to less lights when at idle?
    Any information is greatly appreciated...

    With the x58 pro, all 5 LEDs will be lit all the time unless you use the Greenpower utility with BIOS version 7.0.  If you update BIOS to 7.1, there is a Greenpower setting in the BIOS in which you can enable, and then when CPU is idle, only 1 or 2 LEDs will be lit.  When working all 4 or 5 will be lit.  The less LEDs lit, the less work your CPU is doing, and the less energy it is using. Hope this helps. 

  • Can not see my Airport in the list of Wifi networks and is blinking organge all the time

    Can not see my airport on the list of WiFi networks and is blinking orange all the time. Tried to reset several times.

    Do you have a Mac or idevice for setting up the Express? It does require a later utility than is available for windows.
    You might be able to setup with the v5 utility in windows but there is no guarantee.
    You should use a simple name both for the base and the wireless. eg AEXgen2 base name and AEXwifi for wireless name.. that is if you get access.
