iSight and Photo Booth problem

After the upgrading my Mac Book Pro to Leopard, I found out that Photo Booth was not working.  It would display a black screen even if the LED light was on.  Through a quick Google of the problem, I was led to the Apple support site where it mentioned that it could be caused by System Management Controller (SMC).

I performed the following steps, as recommended by Apple:

  1. If the computer is on, turn it off.
  2. Disconnect the AC Adapter and remove the computer’s battery.
  3. Press and hold down the power button for 5 seconds and then release the button.
  4. Reconnect the battery and AC Adapter.
  5. Press the Power button to restart the computer.

And voila!  Everything back to normal.
