built-in camera not turning on

My camera has not been able to be turned on, even after trying all the tips from apple-support page ... no light, no connection even though camera has been enabled and allowed apps for connexion(FaceTime, Photo Booth, zoom...etc) . What's the problem then? MacBook Air from nov. 2020 software regularly updated
