touch bar won't light up

How do I turn on my touch bar on my 13" Macbook Pro? Without it I can't even change the volume when I'm playing a video.


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.12

If this is an Intel Mac, the best you can do —

Try resetting the SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964


if no resolve

Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379



If you still have an issue, this typically indicates a hardware issue which requires service:
