Where to purchase iSight Wecam for 2016 MacBook Pro

[kevinlu]

Dear MacRumors Community,

My 2016 13-inch MacBook Pro (A1708)'s iSight Webcam is broken after the diagnosis by Apple tech support today. I searched online, Amazon doesn't sell it and the one sold on eBay doesn't look like it is the original manufacturer selling it.

The repair by Apple is $800 according to the Apple tech support person, so I am not going for that route.

Is there a way to acquire the never-used iSight Webcam from its original manufacturer?

Thanks!

Just use a usb webcam.

Or look for a broken MacBook Pro that you can salvage a compatible functioning built-in webcam from.
