MacBook Pro Touch Bar Blinking on Startup, Never Lights Up – Software Issue? Help Needed!

[Guest /u/AdEnvironmental1862]

Hi everyone,

 

I’ve been having an issue with my MacBook Pro’s Touch Bar. When I power on the laptop, the Touch Bar blinks briefly, but it never stays on or lights up properly after that. It’s completely unresponsive during use.

 

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

 

• Restarting the MacBook.
  
• Resetting the SMC (System Management Controller).
  
• Resetting the NVRAM/PRAM.
  
• Checking for macOS updates (everything is up-to-date).
  

 

None of these steps have resolved the issue. I'm wondering if this could be a software problem or if the Touch Bar hardware itself might be faulty.

 

Has anyone experienced something similar? Are there any other troubleshooting steps I could try? I’d appreciate any advice before taking it to an Apple Store.

 

Thanks in advance!
