Toshiba Chicony webcam help..  

ive installed everything that ive seen in this thread and multiple other threads and my camera still only works when the laptop lid is half closed........WTH?

maybe its a problem with your laptops wiring...

i read on toshiba's website about software/driver problems when the lid is opened or returned from sleep mode that it caused the webcam to not work properly.......i think wiring is low on the troubleshooting list right now, plus this laptop is just a lil over a year old with lil to no physical abuse so i dont see how it could be wiring.......but i might just open it up and check everything out since you mentioned it and since it's out of warranty

i figured it would be more intermittent if it was wiring, not so consistent

i finally just opened the bezel of my laptop screen and unplugged the webcam, my xbox webcam will have to do for now.....but the constant usb unplugging and plugging in again sound is gone!
