I have a Toshiba Satellite A305D-S6848 For a

I have a Toshiba Satellite A305D-S6848. For a while now, I've had problems with my webcam. When I open the Camera Assistant Software, it says "Webcam driver open fail. Please restart computer or camera." When I try to use my webcam on different programs such as MSN messenger, AIM, facebook, etc. it doesn't even recognize that the computer has a webcam (even though my webcam is internal). I've restarted the computer and have no idea how to restart the camera, though I've looked for the driver with no luck. Please help! Thanks.

I. Reinstall the driver:
Right click on My Computer (XP)/Computer (Vista) icon on the Desktop, click on Properties, the on Devices, then in the devices list look for your camera (you might have to open the branches to see it). You may find it under a branch named ‘Image Processing Devices’ or something similar (I don’t know the exact wording, because my system is not English).
Select your camera entry and then double click on it. Under the Driver tab, select Update driver and choose Reinstall Driver and then the second option ‘Look for Device Software in the Computer”.

II. If that doesn't solve your problem, download and install the most update driver from TOSHIBA support pages:

  1. Start here: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip/7z465.exe
  2. Click on 'Download'
  3. Select your product Category (Laptops), Family (Satellite) and Model (A305D-S6848) and press GO
  4. Refine your search by selecting your computer system OS and by selecting 'Multimedia' in the Category list box.
  5. Download the camera utility.
  6. Install it

My Toshiba A305D-S6848 LCD Screen is crack-where can I get it replace for a reasonable price.
Try www.ebay.com they have lots of LCD screen for your laptop. I always find that ebay is cheaper than buying parts from the service center or local repair shop.

I have a Toshiba Satellite A305D-S6848. Last
Connect an external monitor to your laptop. Start your laptop and use Fn+F5 buttons (or those appropiate to your model) to send the video signal out to the external monitor. If you do not get any image on the external monitor it means that most probably the mainboard is damaged (video card or even more). Expensive to fix or replace. Have it checked by a professional.
