open laptop display and something funny happens

ok here's the problem....when my laptop is either in sleep mode and the lid is closed or up and running and the lid is closed i can open the lid(lift the display back) and i hear the sound of a usb device being plugged in then about 3 seconds later the sound of when a usb device is unplugged and a "USB Device Not Recognized" message in the lower right side of my screen, along with a little usb picture, if i click on it it shows me the usb ports and what not, and then goes away if i hit close

see attachment


the question is how do i stop my computer from thinking that my laptop is a USB Device? much thanks ahead of time

Check in your device manager for any driver issues.

What are trying to do, whem this happens?

nothing, just simply open my laptop, i am not pushing any buttons or doing anything except opening the "Lid" of the laptop

ok after stumbling upon another problem i think i have figured out that the problem stated in this thread is part of a webcam problem...............i have searched and searched all over this forum and toshiba's website and everything that i have tried nothing has worked........i install the camera assistant software and whats supposed to be the driver's for my Chicony built in webcam (part of the display bezel) but my webcam still doesnt work.....starting to get frustrated....if i try to open the camera assistant software an Error message pops up stating that "Webcam is either disabled or has failed. Please check your webcam settings" but i cant find settings anywhere, and its not coming up in the device manager, even if i "unhide" everything in the device manager, it still isnt visible, please help deploying soon and need webcam for video chatting with loved ones!!!

ok i seem to have gotten somewhere with my searching, i remember reading that if the monitor is half closed then the webcam will show up under the device manager, well it sure does, but it still says no drivers installed, and how do i get it to show up when the monitor is fully upright where i can actually see everything without having to tilt the entire laptop back?

ok sorry for the multiple posts but i just keep finding new stuff every two seconds, haha. the camera works perfectly fine when the laptop "lid" is half closed, but when the lid is lifted(with the camera still running and the blue light on thats next to the lense) it freezes and goes to no preview on the camera picture screen..........................so the question is why does the camera "unplug itself" when the laptop lid is opened fully? help is much appreciated

Go to this web page select what I have in the drop curtains and presto! You can also search for the USB driver.

I'm not sure it is the driver just read your last post about the lid. This might be a newer driver though. Dated 11-1-2010

i've installed that same download several times, with no success.....man this is getting really frustrating
