Checking the iSight device of MacBook

For anybody who has a MacBook and will encounter a camera problem, this blog is for you.

Early today I tried fixing a MacBook because the camera is not detected. Fixing it was a breeze. But first what I did was run all the applications that is using the camera. Why? because at this point we need to know if it is a device-side error or an application-side error. It turned out that all applications using the camera cannot detect it.

So next thing is to look at the system profiler. It is like the device manager thing in Windows. System Profiler does not register iSight (camera) in there.

What I did? Shutdown the notebook, take the battery out and press the power button for a couple of seconds, say 7 seconds.

Replace the battery and turn on the notebook and the camera is up and running! Sweet!

If your camera on Mac has that problem, try following what I did.
