Macbook Pro shuts down randomly, Touch Bar doesn’t work
Hello all,
This morning my MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2018, 4 Thunderbolt 3 Ports) started shutting down randomly. It won’t stay on for more than 5 minutes at a time with or without the charger plugged in. I’ll try to list as much possible info below so as to help with diagnostics as well as so anyone else with a similar problem can decide if their case is the same as mine.
- Powers off within 5 minutes of being powered on
- Restarts automatically after a power off
- When powering off the fans seem to rev up to max speed for about a second
- Does not restart automatically when manually Shut Down
- The random power offs occur in Safe Mode and Password Recovery Mode
- Touch Bar is completely black from power on until shut off. Interestingly, it does seem to register input. “ESC” works as it should though I can’t see anything, as does the brightness slider (when I can find it)
- I have tried resetting the SMC... I’m currently trying my best to drain the battery to 0% and recharge back to 100%.
Any tips would be great. I’ve been Googling this issue but almost every result has to do with resetting the SMC (which I’m working on) and even fewer-to-none mention the Touch Bar being blacked out.
EDIT: I included some system info if that’ll be useful in any way
MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15
