hi
I have find that my macbook's isight doesn't work suddenly, without anything strange happening (photobooth and other softwares couldn't recognize it). I first suspected google video plugin. uninstalling it didn't fix. then I ran SMC reset (power on for 5 sec while battery off), I have a macbook aluminum 13
the point is I still don't see the isight in my system profiler (in usbs),
could be my macbook's isight crash? anyway to check if it is software related or hardware issue?
here I post a screen shot of my system profiler
:( (so sad with my macbook, first my fan crashed, had to change the fan , and now the isight!)
