Web-camera issue on Satellite A300-10C

Hello!!! I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-10C laptop.
Problem with the webcam!! OS WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE X64
Everything downloaded firewood with official a site!! and when I turn on the chamber to me gives out: *the webcam is disconnected or faulty. check settings of the webcam*
Tried to reinstall Os a problem there was the same!!
What to do??? thanks in advance

Sorry mate but Im not quite sure what you mean
Does the webcam appear in device manager?
Please also check the BIOS settings. Press F2 at the beginning of booting process to access the BIOS.
In some cased the BIOS advanced settings contain the webcam option which needs to be enabled.
Also setting the BIOS to default (pressing F9) could enable the webcam in BIOS.
Otherwise it could be possible that there is a webcam hardware issue if the webcam is not present in device manager.

Mute or LED On/Off button issue on Satellite A300-15C

Hi
I have a simmilar problem. I have Toshiba Satellite A300-15C notebook.
Until recently the multimedia keys worked fine. I have assigned some exe file to the second to left key, and been happily using the lights on/off button to switch the dimmer.exe, but a few days ago the dimmer key stopped turning the lights and instead acts as a mute/unmute key. I have doublechecked the TBS and the key is still associated to the dimmer.exe . I have even tried associating the key to another function, but it still just mutes/unmutes the sound. Have you got any idea as to what might be causing this problem and how can I fix it?
And no, apart from random Vista updates I haven't installed anything new since before the dimmer key started acting wierd...

Hi,
I've done everything following the steps from Raver's post and now I have a new problem:
The Toshiba Button Support doesn't display any buttons.
http://img363.imageshack.us/img363/3052/19004197nq4.jpg
It should look like that, but instead it has neither the Mute, nor the CD/DVD button, it's empty... I have tried following the advice from the last post from this topic:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-euro...ssageID=135421
But the TBS just assigns the Dimmer.exe to no button, since no button is selected. Have you got any idea what should I do next? (and yes, I'm sure I have installed the VAP for Windows Vista 32 bit for Sattelite A300)

Macbook pro Web cam issue!! (photobooth)

I have a macbook pro and everytime I open photo booth the picture comes up black. However, the green light next to the webcam is on. I first restarted my computer and then ensured my software was up to date, which it is. I went to open other applications like FaceTime & Imovie and the screen also showed up black to those. What is the issue and how can I fix it? PLEASE HELP!

Hello forevrpnk19
You have done most of the troubleshooting within the article and the next step would be to reset the SMC on your MacBook Pro.

Satellite S70-A-11H web camera image quality is not good

Hi,
Running windows 8.1 which came with the laptop.
New out of the box.
As per title.
I find the image quality of the camera image to be very grainy, poor color etc.
When I start the web camera using the search bar on the right, it starts using the Microsoft application, when you scroll down to settings all that is available under settings/options is Photo aspect ratio, Grid lines, Location info.
I have been in touch with Toshiba Tech support who advised to do a Laptop refresh, which I did.
This made no difference.
After which they asked me to find the Toshiba web camera application on the laptop, this should have been in the Program Files folder in the Toshiba folder.
This application does not exist on my laptop.
The tech checked the same model laptop that he had available, which I was told when he selected the web camera, it opened using the Toshiba Web camera application, not Microsoft.
I have looked at other Toshiba laptops with web cameras, and found the image quality to be better. Unable to get to settings as these laptops were on display and in demo mode, hence locked down to some extent.
I can't believe that a web camera in this day and age for this value of laptop to have such poor image quality. My digital camera from 10year ago has better image quality.
I have checked through the laptop, and I do not have this application installed.
I have checked for updated drivers and software for my laptop, and cannot find this application to be applicable for my laptop. Drivers etc appear to be up to date.
I would like to know, do other users of this S series have any issue of camera image quality.
When the camera is selected what application is being used, Toshiba or Microsoft.
Is Toshiba web camera application applicable to Windows 8.1, as I cannot see it listed for 8.1
Does this sound like a hardware fault or a application/software issue.
Any direction or help on this matter would be appreciated, as I am getting to the point of returning this laptop for a refund.
Thanks in advance.
D.
Yes, I have tried using the FORCE!

> The tech checked the same model laptop that he had available, which I was told when he selected the web camera, it opened using the Toshiba Web camera application, not Microsoft.
The Toshiba webcam application is available for Win 7 system but the Win 8 and Windows 8.1 system use the own Microsoft webcam application.
> I have looked at other Toshiba laptops with web cameras, and found the image quality to be better.
Different Toshiba notebooks are equipped with different webcams.
Satellite S70-A-11H was equipped with a *0.92 mega pixel webcam*
A Satellite A660 for example was equipped with an _1.3M mega pixel webcam_
So there is a difference in webcam resolution

You have to install the Chicony webcam software. The A300-22F seems to belongs to PSAGCE series but you can try to install the webcam software which was released for other A300 series.
For example this:
+Webcam driver Windows Vista 32 Bit v6.2.238.1217+

Satellite A505-S6973 Web Cam won't turn off

I recently signed up for Google Chat with the option to use the Video Chat feature. Ever since I can't get the web cam to turn off, even when I'm not even logged on the Internet! I don't like having the little light shining in my face every time I turn on the computer.
How can I turn off the camera when I'm not using it?

If you can get it to boot up again, I'd suggest doing a restore to out-of-box state to see if you have a hardware issue or software. If after restoring it to out-of-box state you are still experiencing problems, it is likely hardware failure (i.e., cpu, hdd, motherboard, etc.).

Re: Web Camera is not working on Satellite T130

I have a Satellite T130 and the web camera has just stopped working.
Can anyone tell me how to get this going again please?
Thanks

Also check the BIOS, on some models there is an option to disable the Webcam in the BIOS.
And also ensure Skype, Messenger, or other programs that use the webcam are not running, only one application can use the webcam at a time.

Web cam is not recognized properly on Satellite L500D

Hi
I have a Satellite L500D when I login in the web cam app pops up and say web camera initialization failed. Please check your camera device and restart application or computer.
I press ok and the app closes down so I checked the device manager and there were no camera devices.
I downloaded the driver twice and still can`t see the driver in the device manager area.

Hi
Thats pretty strange.
Is your notebook preinstalled with original Toshiba recovery image (factory state)?
Everything is possible and it can be defective cam but best way to find it out is to install OS again using Toshiba HDD recovery installation. After doing this you will have factory state again.
With factory settings every hardware component should work properly.
Do not install any additional software. After finishing OS installation check webcam functionality to see if the same will happen again. if there is the same situation contact nearest Toshiba service and explain the situation.

Thinkpad T61 - Embedded Web Camera, Lenovo Camera Center issues

Hello, Recently purchased a T61 with the embedded web cam. The notebook comes with "Lenovo Camera Center" software (which is more like a portal for camera-related software) but there is no useful software that enables me to actually use the camera - for example, to record clips or take a snapshot with it. Nor can I figure out where to get such software. I signed up for Skype and the camera works fine in that context. But other than that, I am at a loss. Why did this T61 not come with some basic software to use the camera? Or is this an issue with Vista?
Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Then it should be possible. I was of the opinion that the cable already has the camera connector. Best to do is opening the bezel and taking a look. If I remember correctly it was placed left from the Thinklight.
You will need then a camera, a bracket and the small cover. You get this all in Ebay and alikes.
Take a look at the HMM for more details. Start with page 111 from the document (not from your pdf reader) => click me!

Satellite T130: inbuilt web camera has stopped working

Hi, I have the same problem of the question bellow, like I have looked around and I was not able to find the answer I need.
I have a Satellite T130 and, suddenly, the inbuilt web camera has stopped working properly. A blue light is on, but there is no image. What can I do?
Thank you

Hi,
the blue light is beside the web cam, on the top of screen. But this light is on when I try to use the web cam in anywhere, like Skype, Msn or even in programs in the computer that only take a pictue or make a video of you, without ineternet (I do not know the name of this program). But it seems that computer and the programs recognize the web cam, because there is no messages when I turn on the web cam.
In Skype settings is the same, there is nothing wrong, there is no different message. The only thing is when I try to take picture a message appears: "failed", but the video seems to record normally, although everythng is black.
Could you understand what I meant?
Sorry about my english....

Satellite R630-14J - after Skype update web cam has disappeared

Update to Skype 6.6. the Webcam disappeared. not visible in device Manager. multiple Downloads of web cam Drivers don't execute. checked bios. Rebooted machine multiple times.
What to do to install web cam Software again?

Hi
To be honest I cannot understand why webcam device disappears from device manager list after skype update.
I mean even if there would be a software problem (compatibility issues), the webcam should be listed in device manager even as an unknown device.
However, by default, certain devices are not shown in the list. To include hidden devices in Device Manager display, click View and select Show Hidden Devices.
However, I assume you are using Win 7 system.
> multiple downloads of webcam drivers don't execute
On Toshiba EU driver page you can find the webcam software.
Maybe new Skype version damage something in registry. Would recommend uninstalling the Skype firstly. Download and install the repair tool like CCleaner. Clean registry and reboot the notebook. Now try to install the webcam software once again. Reboot the unit and check if you can use the webcam using installed webcam too.

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.
Check this!!!
