I’ve got a A1502 that I just replaced the screen on (replaced the entire assembly) and now the camera is not working. I’m almost 100% certain that I didn’t put any strain on the cable. It flashes green when I try to use it in FaceTime or photo booth. FaceTime just stays black and photo booth has a constant loading circle. The camera was not tested prior to service due to the LCD going completely out. Any ideas? Is it possible that it’s the logic board or is it mostly likely a defected assembly or other issue? The seller is willing to exchange it for another but I want to make sure I’m not wasting my time! If any other info (pics, etc) is needed please let me know!
The iSight Camera apparently has an individual ribbon cable conncecting it to the motherboard. I know this is stupid: Is the cable for the camera in correctly? If you are willing to, go to step 10 of this guide and that will show you how to reseat the cable. If that does not fix it, it may be another hardware issue, or even a software issue. Hope this helps!
