I recently changed the entire lid/display assembly on a mid-2012 13" MacBook Pro (Yosemite), using a brand new assembly. Everything worked perfectly with the exception of the camera. PhotoBooth, Image Capture and FaceTime all say "No Connected Camera" (or a similar indication that there is no camera), with System Information also not showing any device connected. I automatically assumed it was a hardware fault, and tried a second brand new lid, but had the same effect. I then started looking at software, and when I ran sudo killall VDCAssistant, the process wasn't found. It doesn't show up in the Activity Monitor either. Does this process run with no device connected? And if so, how can I start it in order to get my camera (or try and get my camera) working again? I've also tried an SMC reset, but it didn't help. Anybody ever come across this?
