Isight has died!

Hey

I have an 18 month old Macbook and recently the Isight has stopped working.

I have been told to do a PRAM reset, which worked the first time and now its still not working..

The green light isn't lite and i was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how i could get it working again?

Thanks

You may have to install a new iSight camera or pull the old one out and test it in another macbook (albeit not easy).

Try taking the battery out of the macbook and the power supply, and then putting them both back in. I know this might sound completely random but it usually works.

If you search the isight support parts of Apple's website, you can find the following.

I had to do the equivalent thing for my iMac, as I was having the same problem with my isight.

Good luck!
