Hello Everyone, I work as a computer technician for a local repair shop. I recently ran into a odd issue with no camera detected. Customer came in with a broken screen on a MacBook Pro A1708 with macOS Mojave. I thought it would be a routine LCD replacement job so I ordered from our usual reliable vendor swapped the screen it turned out fine until I tried photo booth and got “no camera detected” so ran all the usual command’s for camera issues, checked the OS drivers (applecamera.plugin) nothing missing there I tried booting with external drive loaded with Catalina still no camera detected so tried another screen from a working MacBook Pro with the camera working and still no camera detected on either macOS Mojave or Catalina. I then tried the replacement screenI ordered on the working laptop and the camera worked on it so I thought logic board, nope! I purchased another board and still no camera. I’m lost on this one?
I’m suspecting you reused the MacBook Pro 13” Retina (A1708, A2159) Display Cable with all of your change outs. I bet you one or two pins are damaged!
