Comment 13 for bug 544469

Never say never. My camera now works. The only action I took was to reset the PVRAM, which I've been doing periodically when my battery isn't recognized. I wonder if the sporadic non-recognition of the battery and webcam are related. To reset, PVRAM: 1) shutdown; 2) hold option/alt, cmd, r, p, then hold power (still holding keys), wait for the first gong, then the second gong, then release. I've not observed any downside to doing this. It also fixes the long initial boot delay when booting using refit.
