Mac integrated camera no more visible from my ubuntu 16.04

Hello,
I have previously successfully made my mac integrated camera detected from my ubuntu 16.04 following those instructions :
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1051...n-ubuntu-18-04
I don't know which updates I made or commands I missed but one day I could not detect my cam anymore.
If it can help I have no /dev/video0 and my usb config is
> lsusb :
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 05ac:8406 Apple, Inc.
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05ac:8290 Apple, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 05ac:0274 Apple, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

When I run :
> sudo modprobe -r bdc_pci
I get : modprobe: FATAL: Module bdc_pci not found

Any help/explanations from any lovely or bearded penguin would be so nice :=)

In general, if it does not show up in lsusb then it is disabled (or failing) in hardware.

I doubt it is a hardware problem it was working one week ago. But how can I check my cam is disabled for example ?
