So here's what happened. I bought a Probook 4530s. The XU015UT#ABA model and after the help of the many wonderful people on this forum (Rehabman...big thanks) i was able to get everything i cared about working ok. Everything except my webcam. For some reason, my webcam appeared really dark and i couldnt make out an image especially in poor light. I read this forum here
http://www.tonymacx86.com/hp-probook-4530s/65330-fix-dark-camera-2.html
so i decided to boot into windows and update the firmware, the only problem was that it appears that the module i had for my webcam was the unsupported one so i couldnt flash the firmware. I eventually decided to buy another 4530s with the proper webcam module so i could flash. so i went ahead and bought a new 4530s model A7K05UT#ABA with the intention of taking the other back. i loaded my HD from the older laptop into the new one and everthing boots fine. I went into windows and flashed the new firmware on the webcam. i tested it fine and windows and it works perfectly. i now load Mountain Lion, and launch face time and Photo Booth and the video im getting appears pixellated. the best description i could give is that the video appears 10x zoomed in. that by the way is not an exaggeration. I dont know what to do or why its like that. i looked in the system information under USB and this is what i see.
