I'm noticing that the t2 chip controls the FaceTime camera and ambient light sensor, that being said I wonder if using another Mac, and reviving the T2 BridgeOS firmware would reconnect the hardware to the system? Has anyone tried this? I'm having the same issue after replacing the screen on a 2019 MacBook Pro. Keyboard backlight works until I log in .... once logged in the keyboard backlight stops working and brightness can't be turned up, as well the FaceTime camera does not work either. I want to try flashing the T2 Firmware but I don't have access to another Mac to do it.

See in the system report below the camera shows under USB BUS T2 Chip. The camera and the ambient light sensor are on the same circuit board in the screen so I'm assuming it's all connected. BUT how do we make the T2 chip BridgeOS recognize it?
