iSight camera not detected after maintenance

After replacing the battery and speakers in my Mid 2012 Retina MacBook Pro according to this guide, I reassembled the computer and noticed that everything worked perfectly except for the iSight camera.

Symptoms:

  • No green LED when attempting to use the camera
  • "No video capture devices were found.” in System Information > Hardware > Camera
  • No camera visible in System > Hardware > USB
  • “No camera available” in FaceTime, Photo Booth, and Skype
  • Apple hardware diagnostics shows no camera detected

Solutions attempted:

  • Reset PRAM/NVRAM
  • Reset PMC
  • Tested with a brand new admin user
  • Attempted to boot into Safe Mode, but the boot loader seemed to freeze at the very end
  • Booted into network image at the Apple store and no camera was detected
  • Kill VDCAssistant and Apple CameraAssistant (They were not found; I don’t believe these processes exist on Mojave)
  • Unseat and reseat the camera cable (twice)
  • Inspect the camera cable (no visible damage)

Before replacing the battery and speakers, I occasionally had an issue where the camera would not be detected but a quick reboot always solved the problem. When disconnecting the camera cable during the battery replacement, this cable was the most difficult to remove. I had to apply a good bit of force, but the port is still solid on the logic board and there’s no visible damage to the cable. I always pried (alternating) on the protruding sides of the connector until it wiggled out.

The only 2 theories I have left is that the cable may be very sensitive or I may have blown a ferrite bead although I’m 90% sure I never disconnected or reconnected the cable while the battery was connected.

How sensitive is this cable? How can I determine if a ferrite bead was blown? Does anyone have any other ideas?

Ferrite beads can be tested for continuity with any multimeter, if blown you lose continuity. However, by experience, in some cases, continuity is not sufficient to guarantee a correct performance unfortunately.

Any idea where I can find schematics that detail which components I should check?

@brenan First you'll have to find on the board the reference number, it reads like 820-xxxx. With that at hand you'll be able to google out of the net what you're looking for.

Apple Part #:

661-6482

Manufacturer Part #:

820-3332A

I gave this a shot. Connection looks pretty clear. No success. https://www.dropbox.com/s/2cgb7ut662j3kr...
