Having followed the excellent guide to install dual HDD in my 24" iMac, everything works except when I try to use my internal iSight camera it says: "camera not connected."
It IS listed as a USB device under system profiler.
I have tried:
Any ideas before I disassemble and check cables etc.?
Is this a good question?

OK, so that was weird... (*See my comments above - pulling it apart and wiggling all the connectors didn't work, nor for that matter did SMC reset)....
However, some weeks later I came back for one last try:
Then lo and behold.... opened up Photo Booth and saw my surprised reflection... and a little green light. Then I'm fairly sure I heard/imagined a hallelujah chorus.
Its a bit blurry... might have to pull it apart and give camera a wiggle... or might not risk it....
But I share this in case someone on the internet has the same weird problem that I did.

No, proceed straight into disassemble the machine and check the cables.

OK, so pulled it apart and had a look, couldn't find anything disconnected...
Gave iSight connector a wiggle...
iSight cable disappears behind tape, can anyone tell me where it connects to logic board?
System profile still shows "built-in iSight", with serial number, current available etc. But no apps can activate it...
