Thunderbolt 3 port not working

Hi everyone,


I have a 2019 MacBook Pro 13'' (bought it last July).

Unfortunately, for no reason, one of the 2 Thunderbolt-3 port is not working anymore.


I tried to call Apple Support but the call was hung up while the person was trying to search for a possible reason for the Thunderbolt port not working.


The other port is working fine.


Thanks a lot.
