Hey etyx30624,



When troubleshooting issues with the built in iSight camera, the following article provides the best steps:

In my experience, your exact issue has been resolved in the past by Step 4:


Reset SMC or PMU


Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)


You may also want to refer to the following article:
