Inside the iSight

I found this over at fscklog: Command-Tab decided to take apart an iSight to see what all was at work on the inside of everyone's favorite webcam. There's a full picture gallery of the iSight Autopsy, and a rather thorough accompanying post discussing the bits and pieces found.

One interesting note: "There is also a mysterious ribbon connector at the back of the iSight which isnt connected. My guess is that Apple uses it to restore the firmware or run diagnostics on hosed iSights. If anyone has some insight into its use, Id love to know what its really for." Ribbon connector, eh? Sounds like a nicely hackable port to investigate...
