TouchBar not showing! After small water damage my TouchBar completely disappeared. The first day I restarted it and the TouchBar showed up and then disappeared again. I tried typing in Terminal. I did the SMC and NVRAM reset and nothing worked. I also did the Apple Diagnostics and it didn't find a problem. I also noticed that in Settings/Keyboard there are no TouchBar settings.

MacBook Pro Touchbar fully lit up LED bar Touchbar just randomly went to a blank white. Still responsive but is all white out and lit up and I can't tell where the buttons are visually. I've done everything from YouTubing methods, shutting down, restarting, restarting SMC, restarting in safe mode, etc. Nothing corrected the issue. I have never dropped or had my laptop near water or caused any damage to cause this problem. I am wondering what to do next?

You can try drying it when it's powered down and not operating, and with a dry breeze being directed toward it.

Otherwise? Contact Apple using the Get Support link in the upper right, and discuss your available options.
