since 2 or 3 weeks ago I understand that the isight camera does not work .

system information does not recognize it .

I did SMC also . but it didn't work .

I moved to a humid country recently(2 month ago). could it be the reason? maybe it broke down because of humid weather. ?

what should I do before "clean install" .:confused:
 
Try this trick:

1. Quit all running Applications.
2. Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal app and put in the code
Code:
sudo killall VDCAssistant
, hit the 'return' button and let it run until you get another Terminal prompt.
3. Quit Terminal app.
4. Try to use the camera again.

Good Luck.
