Macbook Touch Bar not working.

I've tried various methods to try and resolve the issue, including safe mode and resetting NVRAM/PRAM.


Most recently, I've tried opening Terminal and entering:

sudo pkill TouchBarServer; <- Had me enter my password and seemed to work normally

sudo killall “ControlStrip”; <- Gave a message saying "No matching processes were found."


The other online method was to open Activity Monitor and search for Control Strip and TouchBarServer; however, neither showed up.


I'm using a MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019)


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi,

Try to run Apple Diagnostics if it's caused by hardware related issue(DFR001).

If it doesn't help, try to start up in Safe mode, then normal boot could solve the issue.
