Webcam 3100 - how to switch off LED status light?

Hi All - need your help.... trying to shut down the LED staus light on HP Webcam 3100. Instructions show to go into Arcsoft Magic-I visual effects tool in Webcam Setting to uncheck LED but cannot uncheck this - any suggestions?

Technically the MBA's camera is called its "FaceTime" camera. The "iSight" name was dropped some years ago and now refers only to the iPhone's rear camera, and I'm assuming you are not referring to the external, FireWire iSight camera or its LED.
For privacy concerns Apple decided to make software control of the FaceTime camera's LED impossible. If the LED is off, so is the camera.
Stick tape over the LED as Klaus1 wrote. There is no other way to disable it, without physically disassembling the camera, potentially destroying it in the process.

  • How to switch off the red light (optical out) on my Audigy 2

    I am not using the optical out most of the time, is there a way to switch off the red light coming out of optical out?red light is causing heat leading to cracks on the surface of the card.Please help soon. thx

    Are you sure? AFAIK, LED's don't produce any significant amounts of heat. And, no, I don't think the light can be switched off.

  • N96 - Unable to switch off the Status Light

    I am trying to disable the illumination light for the rim around the scroll key. I downloaded the N96 user guide from your site which says that the phone has the option under Tools > Settings > General > Personalisation > Standby Mode > Status Light. When I go to Standby Mode on the phone, I only have the Shortcuts and Standby Theme as options. The Status Light and Operato Logo options are not there. Is there any other way I can disable the illumination on the scroll key?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You need to turn off the 'breathing' feature.

  • How to switch off internal macbook screen when using external monitor(s)

    as far as i observed, adding external displays ( running different screens on them, not mirroring)  to a macbook pro  increases the gpu workload and with that comes temperature rise in the laptop and increase in ventilator noise - and probably increased hardware aging and risk of component faillure due to high temperature inside the laptop.
    simply try connecting two external 27" screens and open some flash video on both of them. then run a temperature monitoring software and watch temps rise, compared to running same flash videos / demanding tasks only on one connected external screen or only on the laptop screen with no external monitor connected.
    especially in mavericks, due to its increased background routines, such a set-up appears ever the more taxing, then again who does not love apple`s nice adds showing laptops with two 27” screens connected to it and the workspace vision they invoke....
    i have seen temps around 100° to 102° celsius on a 13" macbook pro 2012 edition, which i would expect is territory where the cpu / gpu temp safety switches will trigger system shutdown any time soon ( hardware status before verified as fully in order by apple service and default osx installation)
    imagine your anti-virus software starting some realtime content screening while runnign some demanding tasks already and the system shuts down easily (all such situation observed in reality)
    (would be interesting to see how a retina display macbook fares with 2 external monitors running demanding tasks, considering the retina display already increased taxing for the gpu - any experience from users of such a setup would be very much appreciated as it will provide critical purchase decision intelligence for all of us envisioning a retina-book and two big screens adoring our desks...)
    turning down the macbook`s built-in screen`s backlight may reduce power consumption but i have not seen any evidence that it switches off the gpu-to-screen feed and respective gpu load - it certainly did not prevent gpu, cpu, board, etc temps to rise to borderline levels.
    so the key question here is, how to switch off the macbook pro`s built-in screen in order to avoid gpu cycles being wasted on that screen ( and the resulting heat developments)  when working with big external screen(s)  connected to the laptop ?

    this thread talks about running several monitors as advertised by apple and running demanding task on them.
    with the lid open, the keyboard offers a very efficiant heat escape vector, which is blocked when the lid is closed - this is a basic and commonsense insulation effect.  this thread also mentions the use of temperature monitoring software and thus a repeatable test setup. the temps recorded were also mentioned. they rose when the lid was closed, the running task remaining unchanged. as far as i could track down the cpus in discussion will shut down around the 105 degree celsius range. i observed system shut downs when the system approached 103° celsius.  not to mention that the fans will run loud well before that.
    again this is on hardware checked and ok-ed by apple service.
    the question still welcoming an expert answer: is there any way to switch off the built-in macbook monitor while the lid is open ?

  • How to switch off the pop-up message in rspcm

    Hi there,
    Does anyone know how to switch off the pop-up message in rspcm?
    The monitoring user shouldn't get the pop-up below anymore:
    „Statusänderung des Requests – Sollen Folge-Events ausgelöst werden?“
    The pop-up in english might be
    “status change of request - trigger subsequent processing?” or similar
    We would like to outsource the process chain monitoring (rspcm) to our operating.
    But operating shouldn't deal with the pop-up above and make decisions especially when delta infopackages are involved.
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    Regards,
    Wolfgang Smetana

    Elena,
    Is the subsequent process defined on success or failure ? if that is not defined - you might come across this message.....

  • How to switch off the Wireless Transmitting of the xDock for the iPod?

    Hey,
    Can anybody help me how to switch off the wireless streaming of the xDock transmitter for the iPod? I tried to do it by resetting and I already read the FAQ but nothing seemed to work...
    Thanks for your help. ;-)
    Hi,
    Kann mir irgendjemand sagen, wie ich bei meinem xDock Transmitter f?r den iPod das wireless streaming ausschalten kann? Ich habe bereits versucht das Ger?t zu resetten und habe das FAQ gelesen aber nichts hat geholfen...
    Vielen Dank im Vorraus f?r eure Hilfe ;-)

    turn it into standby mode
    unplug the power supply from the x-fi dock
    press the volume controller and hold it while plugging the power supply
    the link control led on the backside will glow shortly and and turn off
    thats it
    to reactivate it press both the forward and backward wind button for at least 3 seconds
    But I think, this is really a shame, that the WLAN network is unusable when using the x-Fi wireless function.

    Hi roxol,
    > It interferes me when I touch it with my mouse accidentally
    Im a little bit confused about this How you can touch it with the mouse?
    Furthermore your posting is not very detailed. I miss some important informations about your notebook and OS.
    At the moment I can only say that you should reinstall the webcam driver. The newest version you can find on the Toshiba website.

  • How to switch off scroll and zoom functions of touchpad on Satellite L

    Hi.
    Can anyone tell me how to switch off the scroll and zoom functions for the Synaptics Touchpad v7.2 .
    Can't seem to do it via the Control Panel.
    Any suggestions.

    Hi buddy,
    > Can't seem to do it via the Control Panel.
    You can only disable the virtual scrolling function if the touchpad driver is installed properly. The driver provides extended functions and allows you to disable/enable special features. If you dont have installed the touchpad driver download it on official Toshiba page:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
    Then navigate to control panel as the previous user wrote for disabling the scroll function.
    Can you find it now?

  • How to switch off  the  error sound  in Triversity

    Hi
    How to switch off the  error sound in Triversity, The audio of the computer is already in mute state. The problem is found with DELL pc and not with HP

    Mohammed,
    There is, actually, a better way to get rid of that annoying beep every time you get a policy prompt, error, etc.
    I have a Dell Vostro 1300 and I have done this in other Dell laptops with sucess. Perform the following:
    Go to Control Panel --> System --> (on the HARDWARE tab) Click on DEVICE MANAGER
    In DEVICE MANAGER, click on VIEW --> SHOW HIDDEN DEVICES
    Now, go to "NON-PLUG AND PLAY DRIVERS" and you will see "BEEP" listed as an active device. Right click on it and select "DISABLE" and then reboot your laptop.
    You should be golden right after the reboot.
    Hope this helped,

  • Satellite U500-1E0 - how to switch off the mouse 'clicking' noise

    Please can anyone tell me how to switch off the 'clicking' noise that the mouse buttons make when they're depressed?
    Thanks.

    Im not U500 owner but Ive got a U400 notebook model.
    As far as I know the touchpad buttons dont support any clicking sound which could be enabled or disabled by software.
    Therefore I would say its a mechanical noise which cannot be disabled.

    As I already said in my first reply post, you cannot turn off the iMac's display. The best you can do is display black, which many applications that have a +full screen+ mode will do, if the full screen mode is on the other display.
    Alternately, you can move the menu bar (along with Dock and disk icons) from the iMac's screen to the second display. This is done in System Preferences Displays pane Arrangement tab, by dragging the white bar in the diagram from one screen to the other. Once the menu bar and other features are on the second display, the only thing showing on the iMac's display should be the Desktop background. If you pick a Desktop background that is all black, your iMac's display will be showing a black screen (although it will still not be turned off).

    How to switch off screen blocking if I forget password and couldn't use iTunes?

    If you are saying that you've forgotten the passcode to unlock the iPad then you will need to connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode for your iTunes to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If you do it via a different computer then :
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
