Dear Apple Users,

i have experienced the problem of a not working isight (listed on hardware profile)

on a Macbook Pro 15” 2009 and i want to share with you how

i solved the problem:

tried all kind of reset ( SMC and NVRAM/PRAM)
disconnected and clean Monitor cables
Clean install of Yosemite 10.10.4

So yesterday i removed the Battery , disconnected the Power Supply and leaved the Macbook without energy all the night .

This Morning i started my MBP opened Quicktime X , new video recording and …WORKED Again !!!!

Thanks anyway to all the helping people and let me know if i had helped someone to solve the same isight Problem
