FaceTime HD Connector and iBridge
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.
Es esta una buena pregunta?

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.

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:

Did you disconnect the cables? If you did I would review the connection point. Do make sure you’ve pulled the battery connection first!

The reason I ask is because I was replacing thermal paste and I have managed to disconnect FaceTime HD somehow from iBridge. It shows up in the System Information (see below). I doubt it is the display cable since the monitor is fine.

What are we talking about? There is no iBridge in the MacBook Pro.
Are you talking about the Leef iBridge Wireless Flash Drive in any case it is a wireless device and doesn’t connect into the Mac’s FaceTime camera

Check System Information.
I think the iBridge bus is the name for the TouchBar. But basically FaceTime HD camera connects to it. Where as on non-TouchBar MacBook Pro it connects via PCIE.
I am just wondering if anyone knows what those connections might look like on the motherboard.
