True Tone is gone and camera not detected after display disconnection
Yesterday I replaced the keyboard and its backlight on my M1 MBP, rivets and everything. No, it wasn’t because of any water damage.
It went well, except for the fact that True Tone is gone and my MacBook thinks it doesn’t have a camera. For context, here are the final steps I took in the reassembly:
- With everything but the screen installed, I plugged the MacBook into my external monitor and turned it on to test it.
- It worked, so I unplugged it but neglected to turn off the machine (rookie mistake)
- After installing the screen and closing it up, it was initially blank even though I knew the machine was on. The display worked after a forced restart.
Here’s what I’m dealing with:
True Tone is gone from the Control Center and Displays Preferences
The system doesn’t detect an internal camera
There is now a second ‘Color LCD’ ColorSync profile
Oh, and here’s a screenshot from Sensei, which shows some info about the connected display.
I know that the M1 has the capability to lock certain features if it detects a third-party component (WHY?), but I used the original screen from the laptop.
Any ideas?
Es esta una buena pregunta?

Did you ever get the camera working again?
I got some water on my M1 Air and the camera no longer works — same symptoms as yours.

@drtofu - Sadly, I suspect the logic board got damaged as Jack gave us a good clue!

@drtofu Nope, unfortunately not. I have yet to attempt any other repairs on the machine but the recent announcement of Continuity Camera has made coping with this problem easier. If I have any other updates, I'll be sure to let you know.
