Does anyone know how the FaceTime HD Connector is integrated with iBridge ? I assume there is a connector somewhere but I can’t seem to find it.
OK now I get your question! iBridge is just a functional name for the T1 chip to the system USB connection (hardwired). Like the internal USB hub the system also has. It’s not something physical in the sense you can connect it or disconnect a connector without having issues. In this case if you did you would kill off your Touch Bar and your systems power button ID system. Update (09/04/2018) So the issue is the FaceTime camera’s connection then and not trying to understand what iBridge is. First why did you think you needed to apply new thermal paste on the CPU? While I’ll agree the Apple stuff is not that great it’s not something I recommend replacing on such a new system. OK, lets see if we can figure out what happened. It sounds like you disconnected the ribbon cable leading to the camera. Here’s a breakdown of the connections:
