MacOS – Built-in iSight not working after migrating OS X from Mac Mini to MacBook Pro

macbook promacoswebcam

Used Migration Assistant to migrate from Mac Mini (which is without iSight) to MacBook Pro (which has iSight). MacBook Pro was installed with OS X 10.6, then Software Update(d) to 10.6.8, before downloading Lion installer from Mac App Store.

What I've checked so far
– iSight camera is not detected by iChat, Photo Booth, Skype.
– System Profiler does not detect Camera under list of USB device
– There are AppleUSBDevices framework installed at the default location
with proper file permissions

I've also read through Google search results dating from 2006 to 2011.

Pleased to report my iSight was working in my MBP with a new logic board.
