Barry asks:
I have model L675D-S7104 Toshiba laptop. Webcam shows as an application, but there’s no way to get camera to work. I think it’s Chicony 2.0, but not 100% sure. Help!

November 23, 2011Hello, has the camera work before? Have you checked for problems in device manager? to do so, do the following:
– click on windows key + Pause/Break key at same time
– in screen that appears, click on device manager
– find the camera entry in device manager and expand the entry by pressing + sign
– is there any warning, question mark right next to entry?
– highlight and right click on entry and select update driver software
– if there is new drivers, they will be installed
If you have messenger or software like that, have you tried to see if the camera is recognized there? You can also look for drives in the toshiba site. The next link will take you there….you just have to select your operating system:

I am having the same problem as he or she is. I tried this, but my driver is up to date. I will get the disconnection sound when I see it turn off, and the reconnection sound when it turns back on. Could this be a hardware issue? This only started a few months after I got my laptop.
June 15, 20121. Right click on the web cam driver.
June 15, 20122. Click Properties
3. Click on Compatibility tab,
4. Put a check mark on Run this program in compatibility mode

December 1, 2011In all probability, it seems like a software issue. Try using another software to test if your webcam works or not. Eg. Debut Video Capture ( www.nchsoftware.com/capture/index.html ).

January 24, 2012Hello, II am assuming you have a laptop. Visit laptop’s manufacturer site and find the support/drivers area. Select your laptop’s model and operating system and find any software/drivers for you laptop. Download software/drivers and install them. If you have problems finding drivers, post your laptop’s brand and model and operating system so that we can lool for you.
Let me know, how it goes.

May 21, 2012my bulit in yocam not working checked all program not there i think its been removed
Are you referring to CyberLink YouCam -
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/WebCam/CyberLink-YouCam.shtml
It’s a trialware software.
May 23, 2012Two thoughts:
May 23, 20121. Not plugged in/switched off? If the camera’s not built into the computer, check that it’s properly connected!
2. Device driver problem. Have a look in the device manager (type “Device Manager” in the “Search Programs and Files” box, and select it from the list. Check the devices on the list. If there is a problem with the device driver for the camera, it will be listed with a special icon (a little exclamation mark, or a red or yellow sign over it). In that case, read the message and reinstall, upgrade or enable the item depending on what the error message is.
Hello, visit laptop manufacturer’s site and make sure to download the camera drivers and program from there. You just have to know your model number and operating system. Once downloaded, install program and it should be there.

Go to the Toshiba web site, and choose your laptop from the “Services & Support” menu (It will be listed under “consumer products”). Once you’ve found the model, go to the download section and download the camera software. Install it, restart the laptop and try again!
