Toshiba L675 Webcam no longer functional

Whenever I try to use a utility which requires a webcam, I get a message telling me that the built in webcam is not detected. 
I tried uninstalling and re-installing the webcam through the 'My Toshiba' application on my computer, but whenever the installed loaded and began to work for about 2 seconds, it disappears. I went to look at the Devices section of my computer to see if anything could be done there, but I had no luck.
Other than restoring my computer to factory settings, what could I do to try and fix my webcam issue?

Check the Bios. Under the Advanced System Configuration setting you can Enable or Disable the Web Camera, which is why Windows is no longer seeing the camera and reinstalling the drivers is not working either.

  • Satellite P300D-110 integrated webcam is not functioning properly.

    Hello everyone,
    as the title says, the integrated webcam of my Toshiba Satellite P300D-110 is not functioning properly. Allow me to explain. Using the Camera Assistance Software I can take photo's and record music. If I try to record a video the preview screen turns up black and the end result tuns out black aswell, completely black.
    Whenever I try to use my camera with applications such as MSN Live Messenger, Skype or at community websites using Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari the application in question crashes.
    *How did this happen?*
    You tell me. This is how it went;
    * Day 1: I've started up my laptop and looked at my fresh and clean install of windows vista home premium. I tried out my webcam using the webcam assistance software and it worked like a charm.
    * Day 2: Once again I boot up my laptop and try to start my webcam only to find out that it no longer functions.
    To give a quick summary of the thread;
    * Using Camera Assistance Software provided by Toshiba I can take pictures.
    * Using Camera Assistance Software provided by Toshiba I can record sound.
    * Using Camera Assistance Software provided by Toshiba I can _*NOT*_ record or preview a video.
    * I can not start my camera using any other application such as but not limited to; MSN Live Messenger, Skype, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safar.
    * I have downloaded and isntalled the latest drivers from the Toshiba website.
    * My laptop is about a week old.
    I'm not sure what more I can do, all I want is for the webcam to work, if anyone can help me out please do so.
    And if possible WITHOUT having to reinstall Windows Vista Home Premium.
    I haven't even used it and wouldn't want to make that a solution for all the problems that might occur in the future.
    Sincerely,
    a sad customer.

    Using Camera Assistance Software provided by Toshiba I can NOT record or preview a video.
    Can you please describe the steps how you try to do this? I must ask you this because it runs well on my notebook. When the recording is finished player opens and you can see recorded movie. It is avi format and at the top of this player you can see the path where the movie is saved.
    Most strange thing for me is that you cannot use it with Skype. Ok for MSN is not the perfect but there is absolutely no problem with Skype. Check the settings and it must work somehow.

  • I have a Macbook Air that had some coffee spilled on the keyboard and as a result the plus/equals key is no longer functioning. Can I use a program like Ukelele to reprogram a different key to be my plus/equals key? Can I program a function key? key

    I have a Macbook Air that had some coffee spilled on the keyboard and as a result the plus/equals key is no longer functioning. Can I use a program like Ukelele to re-program another key to do that function? Can I re-program a function key to do this function?

    Water + electronics do not mix.  Something was damaged insode, and the logic board may be corroding as is.
    Take it to a Genius Bar for an evaluation and repair estimate.
    This is accidental damage and not covered by warranty.

    I had first registered my iPhone with an old laptop, the computer is no longer functional.  I cant now transfer music from my iTunes account to my phone, I am not sure what to do any suggestions?

    Iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time.  If you sync to another, it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
    What have you tried?
    What happened?

    After a recent iTunes update attempt iTunes no longer functions and the airport extreme base station is not accessable on our computer.  We still have wifi but cannot access the base station software.

    Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the response. I tried that approach this evening and it didn't work for me. (Technically it worked for me, when I was hardwired into my base station, but would not work for me wirelessly, which is my main issue.)
    Again, using the approach you recommended works only if I have my ethernet cable attached to the LAN port so my computer is communicating directly to the base station through the hard wire. I am able to scan for my base station and make setting adjustments normally this way too.
    As soon as I disconnect from the LAN port and try to go wireless is where I run into problems. The Base Station's wireless network I created is available to choose in the top right corner of the monitor with all of the other available wireless devices/networks -- but the network I created does not have access to the internet. I am also unable to configure my Base Station wirelessly. When my Airport Utility tries to scan for the Base Station and Network, it cannot find any Apple Wireless Device. It's like the Wireless Network in my base station is not sending out a signal.
    Is there a way to resolve this issue?

  • W520 webcam no longer working after Windows 8.1 upgrade

    Hello,
    I upgraded my w520 from Win 7 to Win 8 last year with zero problems.
    Now I upgraded my W520 Win 8 to Win 8.1 via the store download. Except the webcam everything works fine.
    In e.g. the Skype desktop application, Google Hangouts or the camera app, the built in webcam no longer works.
    The green light turns on, but I just get the crossed out camra icon in e.g. the Skype video options. No video.
    I see there are no drivers yet for Win 8.1 on the Lenovo support site for the w520 camera.
    In device manager it still shows the 2011 camera driver 1.1.0.1147 and says "This device is working properly." 
    But it does not work properly.
    Did anyone get the camera to work or is it just a matter of waiting for a driver to be released eventually?
    I tried uninstalling, reinstalling, camera is enabled in the Bios and permissions are set to give Skype and the camera app access to the camera. I also tried the W530 drives as was suggested elsewhere.
    Thank you!

  • Webcam no longer working in Skype

    Hi All
    I have a Dell laptop with an integrated webcam and for some reason last Thursday the webcam no longer work in skype. It was working the day before. It still works in yahoo. When I try to make a video call or test it under options - video settings I get a black screen with that moving circle indicating that the video is loading but it never loads. The internet connection is very fast. Has anyone else seen this issue or know how to resolve it?
    Thank you in advance.
    Alan

    There are two main reasons why their are video incompatibilities in the newer releases.
    1.  The way video support was redesigned in 6.2 and above left some cameras incapable of supporting the new video mode in older style hardware.  For this reason the Skype special version (6.1.x) was made available.  This also resolves video incompatibility issues between very old releases (i.e. Skype for MAC OSX 2.8 and Skype Special Version for Windows allows video communication to occur between contacts vs. just audio)  
    https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12252/why-can-t-i-make-video-calls-on-the-latest-version-of-skype...
    2.  Bugs/incompatibilities are sometimes introduced in the newer releases like the recently reported issues with Dell XPS model cameras.  In that instance, you would have to downgrade to 6.3 or below which does not have that flaw.
    Skype 6.3 (the previous release)
    http://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_6.3.0.105.msi
    So while it may be highly inconvenient, if you are aware of the above you should be able resolve any video-related issue.  I for one have been fortunate as none of my laptop webcams including the one on my Dell has failed to work in any Skype for Windows release.

  • Siri no longer functions with ios 6.1

    I have an iphone4s that I just upgraded the IOS from 6.01 to 6.1 and Siri no longer functions.   It just freezes at "what can I help you with" and never does anything or it indicates by voice that there is a problem.   Cell WIFI and local WIFI are functioning normally.

    I just figured it out, I went into settings and turned Siri off and back on and it seemed to trigger it into working.

  • Zipeg and limewire no longer functioning (both bounced back).

    Greetings,
    Zipeg and limewire are no longer functioning on my mac (limewire first, about 3 weeks ago). In fact, i've tried to re-downloaded both softwares but the applications will only bounce back and not functioning. Previously (2 months ago), i have a same problem with MacDJView. Any idea what's wrong with my mac?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

    Hello n_n:
    Some programs will not run if they are located outside of the "/Applications" directory on the
    boot volume. I have Zipeg, but I don't have the other programs you use, so I don't know
    if they will run on your second partition. My Zipeg install is on my boot drive, I've never
    tried to run it on my data partition. I, like you, do have programs located on a second partition,
    and every now and then I try to install one there and it will refuse to run, if it does refuse to run,
    I go ahead and install it on the boot volume, however the majority of apps don't care where they
    are installed.
    Did you just install these apps or have they been working and just decided to quit?

  • In Earthlink Webmail, the "check all" and "delete" button for deleting multiple messages no longer function (although they work in I explorer).

    When using the webmail application for earthlink email, the "check all" option to select an entire page of messages at once no longer functions. Same problem with the "delete" buttons that are located at the top and bottom of the page with multiple messages. Consequently, the only way to delete a message is to open the message and delete it in that view -- extremely tedious if there are a lot of messages.
    This is a recent change, in the last few days. Everything works fine in I explorer. Earthlink support suggested I start Firefox in safe mode and restore firefox default settings. I went through the process on the help page. It didn't help.
    I'll provide the earthlink link, but it is my email page that is the problem.

    Same here.
    - select multiple mails with the SEARCH option (manually selecting seems to work fine)
    - click the move button
    - list of folders appears (witn account & cancel options that both still work)
    - click on a folder
    - mail flies to this folder (animated)
    - list of folders remains visible
    - the cancel button does NOT work
    - the accounts button takes you back to the root "directory" of your accounts
    - in my case "live" and "exchange"
    - this screen is a dead end. Clicking on both the account names and the cancel button do not work
    A complete restart fixes the problem

  • Right-click Flash selection of webcams no longer works. Bug?

    After some tense struggles and several failed webcam swaps, our support team discoverd that using right-click to select a webcam no longer works after our hosted service's recent upgrade. Is this necessary, or a bug?

    Yes, the menu driven webcam selection process works fine. It's just the old way to select webcam source that no longer works. The worst part is there's no indication that the selection process that has always worked no longer works. Hence my technican swapping webcams, assuming they aren't working.

  • Toshiba L675 Recovery Problem

    I have a Toshiba L675-S7048 and have tried restoring the unit to "Out of Box" state.  When I received the laptop about 1 year ago, I immediately created recovery dvds.  I used those Dvds two times and the recovery process does not seem to complete itself.  It appears I do not receive the Windows 7 Setup screen where I enter my name, time zone, etc.  I do receive a syspro box that when I click on it, it comes as an error.  So I have recently tried holding down the 0 key and recovering the unit using the partition recovery system.  Same thing.  I contacted Toshiba and the  first person wanted to charge me $50.  I spoke with someone else who didn't seem to know what they were doing and told me to unplug the battery and do a recover again, so I am doing that.  Something tells me I am going to get the same thing.  I think it seems that the original recovery parition that was put on this laptop was defective, and of course, Toshiba wants to charge me $29.95 to have a new recovery dvd mailed to me.  It seems very unfair because the problem was put on this laptop from the factory and therefore you would think, Toshiba would send me a new recovery dvd because they realized they messed up.    Just wanted to see if anyone else was having the same problems and if so, did you find anything that fixed the issue. Thanks.

    I have some help if you might need it. First of all,Tech Support does not exist. Any time you give them a call, you will get someone that has no clue about Computers.So, when it comes time to buy extended sevice, don't buy it.
    If you have AOL as an ISP, they will fix your computer  free when you subscribe to thier $17.50 package. You only have to register your laptop with them and if you ever have a problem, contact them.
    Also if you have Direct TV sattelite service, they also have a repair service for any electronics that you own.
    As for recovery of your laptop, do a restart and when the screen goes black,hold the number 0 down, and be sure that all things pluged into you laptop are un-pluged. It will prompt you to full out of box recovery.
    I hope that I have answered some of your questions that you have asked. I've been a comp tech for many years and I build full systems and do company programing. I'm on this forum often, when I see a problem, I will try to help.
