Q: Macbook Internal Camera Disabled & Bluetooth

I used in external webcam on my Macbook (Silver Unibody) and now it refusing to recognize the internal camera. I've tried the following:

1. Looking in System Preferences

2. Opened every single application to locate the camera (Skype, Photo Booth, iMovie, etc.)

3. Restarted

4. Prayed, fasted, etc.

My Computer is a Macbook Silver Unibody, 13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008, Software OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)

Mac Powerbook Silver, Mac OS X (10.6.1)

Thank you, no it was plug and play, I didn't install any software. The camera is disabled on my iMovie. I am at the Genius now hoping they can fix it.
