When I bring up the video preview in ichat on my MacBook Pro there is no image. The green light by the isight comes on but there is no image. Plugging in my old external iSight works fine. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

Sounds like a trip to the Apple Store to me - you have pretty much isolated the problem to the built-in camera.

You could try resetting the open firmware...i can't remember exactly what it's called, but I had the problem once...you shut the machine down and disconnect everything including the power for 30 secs....then reconnect the power/keyboard/mouse and power it on...i can't remember exactly what this procedure is called, but it seemed to work...theres something about it on the apple site as well.
