[QUOTE="scotartt, post: 865839, member: 21303"] I've got this same problem on a 15" unibody macbook pro (swappable battery version) with OSX 10.5.7 ... so far i've found that rebooting fixes the camera for a bit then it does it again, usually after a couple of days. Usually after sleep - so it will work while I'm out somewhere, I close the lid and put it to sleep, come home, try again ... dead camera. I'm mostly using Skype. But when it gets this way nothing can access the camera hardware. I'll try resetting the PRAM & NVRAM next time it occurs but can anyone report if this produces a fix PERMANENTLY (i.e. never re-occurs) - after all it could just be the reboot that resets the camera, a fix I've already encountered.
