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

I have A300-243 PSAG8E, after installed win7 my webcam DONT WORK.
it had been worked before with VISTA AND spype.
I upgraded the bios and updated drivers.
Webcam is not listed driver of win7 32bits of A300.
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.
ORNA

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 A300-243 - Easy Keys & Recovery Disc don't work

    Hi, I just bought a new Toshiba Satellite A300 243 and I decided to reinstall system to Vista Ultimate 64 bit (because of the 4GB ram usage).
    It took me a few hours, but in the end I found all needed drivers and everything is working fine, except one thing - those multimedia keys (I think they're called Easy Keys). Start, Stop, Next track and Preview track works fine, but the first (by default used for toggling illumination) and the second (by default used for starting W Media Player) just don't work. I have installed the latest version of VAP for 64 bit Vista and in Toshiba Button Support I'm not able to change anything. The list, where normally I'm able to choose a key to edit its function, is empty. I found a few similar problems on this forum, but without any useful answer - lookes like the only way is to use the Toshiba Recovery option, and at this point I'm getting to my second problem.
    The second problem is in Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator and Toshiba HDD Recovery tool. At first, before I reinstalled Vista to 64 bit version I wanted to create Recovery Disc, but Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator just didn't started. Then I found the HDD Recovery option, and I read, that this tool is placed on a hidden partition, so I thought I will be able to recover the old system with this tool in case of any compication. So I reinstalled the system and wanted to go back to 32 bit, because it looked like its slower and at first I wasn't able to find all necessary drivers. And what a surprise - Recovery tool disappeared!
    Now the only thing I'm missing on 64 bit version is those two multimedia keys.
    And the last question - is there any chance to get a Recovery Disc with Vista 64 bit?

    Hello
    As you said for the easy keys or also called illumination buttons you need the Toshiba Value Added Package. The Satellite A300-243 belongs to the PSAG8E series and therefore you can find all drivers and tools on the Toshiba website:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
    Before you install the VAP, make sure that all drivers are installed and SP1 for Vista at least. Then you can install it and normally then you can use the FN keys, illumination buttons, etc.
    Make also sure that you have installed the newest BIOS for your notebook.
    About your problem with the recovery disk creator and HDD recovery option I can only say that these features are only available on the preinstalled Vista version. That means if you upgrade to Vista 64bit you cant use the HDD recovery option anymore and also the recovery disk creator.
    So if the recovery disk creator doesnt work you should use the HDD recovery option but this is not stored on a hidden partition. These files are stored on the second partition of HDD in the folder HDDrecovery. The hidden partition that you mean belongs is a Vista feature: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Recovery_Environment
    But just one question: Did you already create a recovery disk?

  • How to install XP in Satellite A300-1BI with Vista

    Hi,
    Few days ago I bought a Satellite A300-1BI with Windows Vista preinstalled. I don't like this OS and I want to degrade to Windows XP and install too my Ubuntu Linux distribution but I can't install no one from them because the hard disk appears as "not connected" on the XP and Ubuntu installation men... It seems like the laptop is made ONLY for Vista, and I think is... pathetic...
    Someone can help me? I tried to search information on web, forums, etc, but it seems I'm the only one with this problem.
    Thanks!

    Sorry estemon but I cannot believe what you wrote here. This is most asked question in last one year and you can find so many threads here with the same question. In just one minute I found, for example, this one http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=35787

  • How to partition Satellite A300-21H with Vista?

    Hello,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-21H with Vista and want to dual boot it with ubuntu linux. At the moment there are three partitions, 1.5GB vista recovery, 150gb C and 150gb E ( with HDD recovery inside it ). For my ubuntu i would like partitions / and /home ( around 150gb ). Should i delete the E partition? I have my recovery DVD's made..
    Whats the best approach, I think linux only allows 4 partition's.

    Hello
    Of course you can delete the partition E because you have created the recovery disk.
    Very good job buddy because sometimes the people forget it to burn. :(
    Now you can install the factory settings every time that you want.
    On Vista you can change the partition size, delete and create it. This is possible by the new Disk Management Utility:

  • Wi-Fi just stopped working on my Satellite A300

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite A300 (Vista) and everything started out just fine. The second day my Wi-Fi connection just shut down while I was online... just after not doing anything, and now I cant get it back on. The wifi-button and the FN-F8 is ON. Even Configfree can see if the wifi-button is on or off but I cant see any wireless connections (theres use to be 5-6 of them where I live.. so theres nothing wrong with the router).
    I can add that theres no conflict in the wireless networkcard and all drivers are up to date. Is this a hardware problem? What are my opptions here?

    It could just be a Software problem. Did you install a Firewall or Internet Security program recently? Try disabling them.
    If that doesnt help, run Recovery to reinstall Windows back to its factory state, and try again. If it still fails, then there could be a problem with the hardware. Try a BIOS update and Wifi driver update first, before sending the laptop to an ASP for repairs.

  • My webcam doesnt work

    I have E531 lenovo thinkopad.

    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.

  • Satellite A300-1BZ with Vista - Com Port has disappeared

    Hi everyone.
    My first time and I'm a bit of a duffer with technical stuff, so please be gentle with me!
    A300-1BZ with Vista.
    A while ago I installed 'CarSoft V.83' (Engine diagnosis) from CD onto my laptop. It asked me to verify the com-port.
    I looked in the device manager and in the list I saw 'com-port 4'. Ok, we'll go with that then. Everything worked fine and I was happily talking away to my car.
    Yesterday I went to use it for the second time and it said there was an error with the com-port and to 'verify' the com-port.
    So, I got the device manager back up and there is no mention of any com-ports in the list! It was there the last time I looked and now it's vanished!
    I was at a loss what to do so, I uninstalled the CarSoft and then re-intsalled it again. Got the same error message.
    Went to device manager. Still no com-port 4 in the list, or anything that relates to a com-port.
    I don't know how or if I can get it back.
    Please help!

    Hi mate
    First of all there are no com ports. The com port which you could see in device manager was an virtual port created by car software.
    What to say
    I recommend removing the car software from the system firstly.
    Then download the CCleaner and clean the system and registry entries.
    Reboot the notebook and run the CCleaner again
    After that install the car software again
    Maybe it helps

  • 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.

  • Webcam Not working for my Satellite L755-1MU

    Hi All,
    I'm Kim, new to this forum...
    I am having a problem with my SATELLITE L755-1MU laptop and hope that any of you all out there can help me out....
    the issue is that my laptop's webcam is not working, i tried video call with Skype, gtalk, i can see the caller on the other side's picture, but no one can see my video :-(
    the blue light on the webcam on top of the laptop is on, but no picture is coming...
    can someone help me out with this?
    Many Thanks,
    Kim

    Hi,
    Tried uninstalling the webcam software, then downloading the latest from the site.
    Then again installed the latest webcam application software, but still no picture.
    Yes, I selected the internal webcam application while using Skype but still, nothing.
    The webcam is not taking any picture or video at all, though the blue light is on, plus the driver is working and software is installed.
    Not sure, what to do next, hopefully need to call Toshiba support to get some help from them.
    Do you have any other number other the chargeable 0844 number to call them? Or even a live chat?
    Many Thanks,
    Kim
