Chicony USB 2.0 Doesn't work on toshiba p205-s6267

Please help me!!!
I bought a toshiba satellite p205-s6267
everything works but the built-in webcamera doesn't work, i tried a lot of links and read many forums and didn't find a solution. i tried to install all drivers and it doesn't work
If someone can give me a good driver or a software for it, please help
Thank you

 

I believe Toshiba addressed that problem and fixed it so check their website.

 

Dear Sir,
I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 AH5 and my built in camera is not functioning. The screen says: webcam camera driver fail, please restart the camera or computer.
Restarting the camera or computer does not make the camera in operation.
Please help. I am grateful. Thank you. Felprab

 

what the HELL? again, i gathered NOTHING conclusive from this thread...christ..if there was n ething that would solve the problem at teh toshiba site, i wouldnt BE here.

 

you do realize that people on this site are trying to help you "simply out of the kindness of our own hearts" so if you really want some help you might try being a little more diplomatic about it.... have you guys checked the chicony website for the latest drivers? also if you could provide the specs for your camera that would be helpful so we can help you look for the correct driver, the toshiba website simply lists it as "Webcam with Built-in Mic" so not much help there...

 

my web cam is chicony

1.3 mgp 2.0 usb


on a 'shiba a205/s4577

ive done soooo much searchin and dl soo many drivers and nothing seems to work...BUT when it had XP it worked.

i LOVE my shiba, and this problem wont hamper me, but i would be sooo much happier to have a machine with no problems if just for a moment.

i been to the chicony site
to the europe 'Shiba site
ive dl drivers from many sites..

nothin works...

it says contact hardware vendor


and/or registry cant be found....when im in there gettin dirty


but on the surface it just says, turn on cam or just nothing.

 

this happens bacause the driver has incrorrect values download the latest software from
http://support.toshiba.ca/support/D...-Assistant-Software-V1.7.148.0720 Updata2.zip
this is latest software version 1.7.148.0720
it will work okay and it will fix the after standby issue too

 

i'll try it. considering all my other problems as well, im thinkin i got a bad install....
wont let me change folder names or move folders but they are bein used
wont install the gadgets i DL from microsoft site
wont let me activate windows, though it says activate, and today is zero day on activation

dont know what the hell, man...but other than those problems, i love my 'Shiba.

 

SOLUTION FOR Chicony USB 2.0 CAMERA problem in TOSHIBA

A205-S7464 with Windows Vista Home Premium (English)

(be patient with my poor english, please)



The problem was in the .INF file of the camera driver named "casflr.inf". The "ClassGUID" is incorrect to register the driver. We need correct then manually.



The Problem:

1) Windows Vista Home Premium (ENGLISH) installed

2) After install OS, in Control Panel, Device Manager, appears under Another Devices / Chicony USB 2.0 Camera (to install a driver)

3) Trying to install or update the driver by Web doesn't work and trying by browser my computer for device driver.../ Let me pick from a list of device driver... USB Device... etc... doesn't work too.



After Installing the last software device driver from Toshiba Support Page:

http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/util_camera_26505A.exe

you have a error message, something like "Camera does not work. Restart camera or computer"...



And after you installed the Software Driver from Toshiba, trying update the driver on Device Manager, by browser my computer for device driver.../ Let me pick from a list of device driver... USB Device... choosing one of the Chicony USB 2.0 Camera we have a error message like...



******* "The Register Class for this device were incorrect" ********

(may be different...)



If you have all this "problems" in sequence... you need to do 3 things. One in Windows Vista Register file, other in .INF file of the camera driver and them update the driver again. It's easy.



The Steps...

1) In Start Search digit "regedt32.exe", run the program to edit register.

2) Find this key below:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\USB\VID_04F2&PID_B008&MI_00

or

In Edit Menu, click in Find, digit "Chicony USB 2.0 Camera", press enter

you will find a sub-key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\USB\VID_04F2&PID_B008&MI_00\6&298da7b3&0&0000



Immediately above of the KEY, you have another KEY:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\USB\VID_04F2&PID_B008



with another sub-key \SN0001, click them.

Find in the right window the GWord named "ClassGUID", click them twice and Copy the value in this window (in my computer is {36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000} ), COPY THEN...



Here is the correct class ID to register the device driver for Chicony USB 2.0 Camera. Now we are going to correct it in .INF file. Remember that we had a incorrect class register error message trying to update the driver before.



You need installed the last version of Toshiba Support Software Driver for Chicony USB 2.0 Camera. In my case I download this in:

http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/util_camera_26505A.exe



Then Open the install folder of the software "C:\Program Files\Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba\driver\32bit\"



and edit the file "casflr.inf". Just Open to Edit it.



In firsts line you have this:



[Version]
signature="$CHICAGO$"
Class=Image
ClassGUID={6bdd1fc6-810f-11d0-bec7-08002be2092f}
Provider=%cec%
CatalogFile=casflr.cat
DriverVer=04/24/2007,6.2.208.0424
;LayoutFile=layout.inf


REPLACE the line or COMMENT it (put ";" in the beginning of the line) contain ClassGUID:

;ClassGUID={6bdd1fc6-810f-11d0-bec7-08002be2092f}


Now put a new line after the older line with the correct class ID that we found in the register

ClassGUID={36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000}



something like this:

[Version]
signature="$CHICAGO$"
Class=Image
;ClassGUID={6bdd1fc6-810f-11d0-bec7-08002be2092f}
ClassGUID={36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000}
Provider=%cec%
CatalogFile=casflr.cat
DriverVer=04/24/2007,6.2.208.0424
;LayoutFile=layout.inf


Save the file.


Now repeat the update driver in Control Panel / Device Manager / Another Devices... right mouse click... Update Driver... Browser my computer for device driver.../ Let me pick from a list of device driver... USB Device...



Will appear 2 or 3 devices to choose, one of these do not have an icon before it and the name is different like "Chicony USB Camera", these is the correct one. Click then! Install it.



An error message of "non sign driver" will appear. Click in Continue.

If a fail message appears, repeat the update again.



Just It!!



Now we have a new "Universal Serial Bus controllers" named Chicony USB 2.0 Camera working!
