Error message: "Webcam driver open fail" for Satellite L305-S5875

Problem: Webcam is not working and when Camera Assistant Software is started up, the Error message, "Webcam driver open fail" pops up.
Computer: Notebook Satellite L305-S5875
OS: Windows Vista
In troubleshooting, I have unsuccessfully tried the following: Changed the webcam driver several times, rolled back driver, updated driver, and tried Chicony 2.0 USB driver, and a few other webcam drivers. The webcam initially worked fine, but about a month after installing and using Skype video, the webcam suddenly stopped working and on reboot I got the error message.
I've stopped Skype and Camera Assistant Software at startup and manually start them, as someone suggested this as a solution. I've uninstalled both and reinstalled several times. I've tried one software without the other installed... trying every possible arrangement for a solution, to no avail.
I called Customer Support and John, although very nice and patient, was not helpful. He said he'd research and call back. Didn't.
I've gone to Chicony website to try to find an more current driver than January 07. When I let Windows install the latest from the web, it installs a Microsoft 2006 driver. I don't think it's a hardware issue, as it started acting up after Skype installed. I also tried System Restore, but that didn't work either.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
SteveCo

Thanks Jerry. I spent hours going through the links you provided and tried some of the suggestions looking for a solution. Nothing worked.
I tried uninstalling Toshiba's Camera Assist software and Skype (Skype initially seemed to be the instigator of the problem), completely removing both from the registry, and removing the webcam with Device Manager. Then I made sure Vista was up to date, and then installed the latest Toshiba Camera Assist software from the Toshiba download page. After installation and rebooting, I'm getting the same error message: "Webcam driver open fail."
The webcam used to work, before we installed Skype and used it a few times. From the other posts I've read, it does seem to be a common problem... usually after Skype or another webcam-using software is installed and run.
We have another Toshiba laptop: A215-S4757, that has the same OS and webcam-using programs, and it does not have an issue. Apparently though , after going through all the links on the European message board, you provided, the L305 model is having a problem.
Open for suggestions.

Re: Satellite A300 PSAGCA -02Y010 - Error: Webcam driver open failed

Problem:
Recieve error every time I try to use Camera Assistance Software for Toshiba: Webcam driver open failed. Please restart camera or computer. Web cam also does not work in Skype. It seems that this is a very common problem with the A300s series, yet there is no clear solution out there.
Hardware
Series: A300
Model: PSAGCA -02Y010
Software
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit
Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba: 1.7.175.0123
Details
I recently did a clean install of Windows 7, updating from Windows Vista. I never used the web cam on Windows Vista, so I can't testify as to whether the web camera was workin correctly or not. However, when I tried to use it with Skype, it did not work. I reinstalled the driver that I backed up before I installed the new operating system, but it did not work. The web cam doesn't show up at all in Device Manager - even when set to display hidden devices. Trying to add new hardware through the control panel fails to detect the web camera at all. I have restarted after every install/repair of the driver.
Steps Taken
Reinstalled backuped drivers
I used third party software (Double Driver) to back up and reinstall the drivers for the web camera after I installed Windows 7. Double Driver claimed there was no device to install the driver for. I manually copied the files into the Camera Assistance folder and overwrote the existing ones. The files I copied were:
casflr.cat
oem34.inf
restore.ini
UVCFTR_S.SYS
Reinstalled Drivers from Toshiba Website
Extensive goolging has only turned up recommendations to uninstall and reinstall drivers. I was unable to find any drivers specifically for windows 7 64-bit, but I did try those for my model of laptop for Windows Vista 64-bit - no luck. I tried installing Camera Assistance Software for Toshiba, which as far as I can tell, includes the driver - it only gives me the error described above.
I also tried locating a generic Windows 7 driver for the web camera - I was unable to find one.
Check Registry Value Is Correct
I have also tried checked the registry value at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/ControlSet001/Enum/USB/SN001/ClassUID matches the value in C:\Program Files (x86)\Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba\driver\64bit\casflr.inf as and C:\Program Files (x86)\Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba\driver\32bit\casflr.inf recommended by some article recommend.
Please, I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me out here. I have exhausted all the options I can think of.
Likely Solution:
I encountered a thread post that suggested a loose wire was responsible and that the camera would work when the lid was almost closed. I tried this and the camera suddenly appeared in device manager. However, I still can't get it to work with Camera Assistant Software or Skype.

Hi - I'm a newbie to this forum.
I have an A300 Satellite Pro - not even 2 years old.
In the last 2 days I have 2 problems that I think are possibly related.
1. Like others on here I now cannot get my internal webcam to work. I get the 'webcam driver open failed' message. I have read some forums etc and today I have:
a) loaded most recent BIOS,
b) reloaded the webcam software drivers (the most recent seems to be from 2008!)
c) restarted my laptop about 20 times
Nothing works
2. In the last 2 days for the first time I keep getting the 'USB device not recognised' message that annoyingly crops up about every 10 seconds. I am assuming that the webcam is connected to a USB port (internal) and is no longer being recognised. Based on Google advice in various forums I have also:
1) Turned off the AC power supply
2.) Taken out the laptop battery and waited 5 mins - this apparently resets the BIOS
3) tried using device manager in various ways
Nothing bloody works!!
Maybe the hardware is damaged but I doubt it - I have not dropped the laptop, I always pack it carefully in a padded rucksack. It has always worked fine until 2 days ago.
Ashbo (very fed up)

Satellite P70-A-104 - cannot find webcam driver for Win 8.1

Hello,
I have installed a 2nd hard disk with Win 8 Pro 8.1.
I also have downloaded all available drivers for my model P70-A-104, but there is no driver available for the built-in Toshiba WebCam FHD. I have also checked other Toshiba models with 2 MBit FHD Camera.
Is there anyone who knows where to download the correct driver? I know there a some tools for driver updates (25 - 30 US$) but they don't display the missing web cam driver.
Yours

As far as I know there is no webcam driver for Win and no webcam driver for Win 8.1 because the notebooks webcam module is controlled by internal Microsoft driver provided with Win 8 / Win 8.1
Question: do you have any yellow exclamation marks in device manager? I guess the webcam is listed there...

How to update webcam driver?

I've ArchLinux installed with v4l-utils 0.8.8-1 and gspca_zc3xx webcam driver v2.13.0 . The driver is installed as a kernel module, and I can detail it with modinfo gspca_zc3xx command. This driver version is now outdated, and it doesn't support correctly Auto Gain and Exposure controls in my webcam Logitech Quickcam Communicate STX. On the developer's site in Webcam GSPCA driver V4L version 2 section there is an updated version of this driver v2.15.18, and I found the thread gspca_zc3xx possible options in Mint lxde 12? claiming the above issues were fixed in it.
Can someone explain with code examples, how to update the webcam driver in my ArchLinux installation step by step? Webcam Setup ArchLinux Wiki lists various drivers, but come very short on explaining how to install them or update already installed driver. Is there a Wiki on how to install or update any device drivers in ArchLinux?

I think you should since the kernel owns the files. Also, the file you linked is beta, so it is likely no one will,add this to the official package for you. What I don't know is how best to handle this.
1) rebuild the Linux package except manually delete those files for the build prior to packaging.
Or
2) make a new PKGBUILD for just this new driver and somehow handle the file conflicts outside of pacman... Not recommended in my mind.
Perhaps someone else can offer and alternative solution but for now I think that option 1 is your best bet.

Satellite Pro A300 - Webcam driver fails to start under Win 7

Recently purchased a Sat Pro A300 and immediately upgraded from Vista Bus to Win7 Pro.
Didn't try to use webcam before upgrade.
Post-upgrade, after downloading and installing Chicony webcam software from Toshiba, continually get message "Webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer".
Camera appears in Device Manager and says driver is a Microsoft driver v 6.1.7600.16385 dated 21/6/06 (very pre-Win7!).
Have tried unistalling/reinstalling camera assistant software with and without first uninstalling camera in Device Manager, but same error message comes back every time. I'd much appreciate some suggestions re a fix.

Hi
In your case I would try to install the latest webcam driver from Toshiba. Install this driver and try it again. Make also sure that latest BIOS version is installed for your notebook.
Furthermore it would be interesting to know if the same problem occurs on Vista. You should try it with factory settings. So you can identify if its a hardware or software problem.

Need WIn8.1 webcam driver for Qosmio F50-108

Hello everyone!
I'm looking for Toshiba Qosmio F50-108 camera driver. I have windows 8.1.
Does anyone know where I can find this?

As far as I know Toshiba doesn't offer webcam driver for Win8/Win8.1.
Operating system uses standard Microsoft driver.
I think this Qosmio is pretty old notebook model. But, generally speaking, I don't know if your Qosmio is supported for Win8/Win8.1 or not?

Satellite A300-1LT - Webcam driver for Windows 7

Hi,
I have a problem with my webcam driver just after installing Windows 7 on my Satellite A300-1LT, I had win XP before and it works fine. In downloads is offered just for xp, vista 32-bit and 64-bit driver (I tried all with same results). Webcam app starts with windows and gives me an error msg that I must reinstall or install new webcam driver. Webcam work in eg. skype buth with (very) poor quality.
I tried to find wich cam is integrated ( chicony? ) also but nothing.
Does enyone else had experienced this issue and know how to resolve it ? please help...

Hi glava11,
As far as I know you can also use the webcam driver for Satellite A500 because its equipped with Chicony webcam too.
So have a look for A500 downloads. There you can find Windows 7 driver for webcam that should work on your model too.
Check this!!!

Satellite A300 - Constant "Webcam Driver Open Fail" Error

I have searched and searched for solutions to this problem and feel like I have tried everything. Whenever I turn my laptop on or attempt to start my webcam I get the error "Webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer."
I used to be able to use the webcam with no problems but it just stopped working one day. I've recently reformatted my operating drive to the out-of-the-box state, but it is still showing an error whenever I try to use my webcam. I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium on an A300 Model: PSA-GCA. I have also tried updating the webcam driver (and the latest BIOS update) from Toshiba's support section, but with no luck. I've also tried using the XP webcam driver, but still, no luck.
Any idea on how to fix this problem?

I also forgot to mention that in my Device Manager, I cannot see my Chicony Webcam at all. There is no section for imaging devices present at all.

Hi
If you search here in the forum you will find enough threads about this issue but I have founded an interesting thread with a good posting from the user Akuma and mayb its useful for you:

If it doesnt work I think you need help from an authorized service provider. The technicians can check your notebook and repair it ifs necessary.

Satellite A300-1G5: webcam stopped working - Webcam driver open fail

Hi
my laptop specifcation here : ( [A300 - 1G5|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new=Yes&PRODUCT_ID=1055589] ) for any needed details ..
The problem simply is, the webcam stopped working for some reason, an error messeage says "Webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer".
I noticed that whenever I put the computer in sleep mode I was getting on the icon tray a notification says "USB device unrecognized"... I wasnt aware what it was - thought it becasue of the USB mouse being plugged... but I think its related to the camera...
software is installed but camera is not working and cant enable it .. I did download the latest driver from toshiba site , but still not working ...
Currently my laptop runs Vista HP SP2 32-bit, Windows defender enabled, Windows Firewall Enabled, Windows UAC enabled, Kaspersky Ani-Virus 2009 Enabled. I only use Windows Live Messenger (which up to date I think , version : 14.0.8089.726) which i used camera with, I quite using face recognition long time ago and rarely use the webcam ... I didnt install or update any drivers and used to have the laptop running perfectly..
So what happened now ?!

Hi
I have had a similar error message and could solve this by disabling the webcam software from startup.
In msconfig -> Start Up tab I have unchecked the Chicony webcam software.
This prevents it from automatic loading.
I dont use MSN but Skype and the Chicony webcam software is always disabled (not executed) if Skype is running.
Maybe you should try this too.
Furthermore you could try this:
Go to device manager, mark the webcam (imaging devices USB video device) and deleted it from the device list.
Then reboot the notebook and wait until the webcam has been recognized again.
Then test it.

Cannot build ov51x-jpeg webcam driver on x86_64

I checked the v4l_compat_ioctl32 driver, but I only have the v4l2_compat_ioctl32 and v4l1_compact. I am using a stock kernel 2.6.29.3-1 for x86_64.
Any hints?

Hi
I have the same problem within i686.
The new 2.6.29 kernel is not compatible with this version of the driver.
I suppose we have to wait ....

Were can I find webcam driver software for my built in webcam, and if these programs are drivers, then what am I doing wrong. I use a HP Pavilion dv5-1235dx Entertainment Notebook PC with windows vista.

Please identify your notebook with the complete product name or model number.
Have you looked at the box the notebook came in to see if it says it has a webcam? Not all notebooks do come with webcams.
