camera says not connected

I had dropped my MacBook Air and now whenever I go to use any camera app such as FaceTime or Photo Booth ,etc it says camera not connected. I have tried PRAM, SMC checking the system report, updating and terminal did not work. How do I fix it?

No camera detected on MacBook Air I manage 70 2015 macbook airs. The camera problem "(no camera detected)" persists. They have followed all of the recommended fixes (restart, check for apps using the camera, OS updates, and resetting SMC). Eventually, restarting or resetting the SMC eventually work, but only after several failed attempts. Why hasn't this issue been addressed by Apple? Has anyone had success addressing this problem? Is there a "fix" I am missing? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Could be a hardware issue. Have it checked on your nearest Apple Service Center.
