Touch bar issue and display issue Two issues have appeared with my MacBook Pro: Touch bar turned dark blue and is unreadable. It does respond to touch A vertical black bar appeared on the display with a small crack towards the bottom. There was no physical damage (drops, pressure, high heat, something caught between the display and keyboard, etc.) nor water damage that occurred. The display issue appeared first, followed by the touch bar issue ~24hrs later. The issues first occurred after the laptop was left closed and undisturbed, in a protective case, overnight on a desk (no pets, falling objects, etc.). Does anyone have any ideas how to fix? It doesn't look like this is covered under the limited 1-year warranty. Despite no accidents happening, this seems to be considered "Accidental damage." Device Information: MacBook Pro (16 inch, 2019) Purchase date (new): September 2021 Processor: 2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core 17 macOS Monterey Version 12.4 Thanks!

My Touch Bar Cracked So My Touch Bar got a small crack, I'm fine with it. It's still functioning, but, about an hour later, a blue liquid started to spread across the bar, and its now all blue. Is this a dangerous, should I get it fixed?

Touch Bar functioning in very unique conditions I have a very strange issue with my Touch Bar on MacBook Pro 15 (2016). It started to randomly disappear on its own around six months ago. I tried fixing it through all advice available on the internet but it didn't work and I concluded it's a hardware issue but recently I found something very strange. If there is a piece of cloth under the MacBook Pro, and I restart the machine, the Touch Bar returns and works well as long as the machine stays on. On any other surface (Wood, plastic, etc.) the Touch Bar doesn't come to life. If the cloth is made of wool, then the machine doesn't start and gives some hardware failure. If anyone else has experienced this and can recommend a possible fix then it would be great help. P.S All of this issue started when I got my keyboard replaced under the apply keyboard replacement program for MacBook Pro.

Is it possible that your mac may have also had water damage? The blue liquid that you are talking about could possibly be copper hydroxide.

In any case, you'll have to go to an Apple Store or any AASP. They'll figure out your next best plan of repair.

Ok, thanks for the answer. About the water damage, i heard some of the fans make an unusual sound, similar to gurgling. I'll be sure to schedule an appointment to a store. Thanks for the answer.
