Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Macbook Pro Touch Bar has green tint and certain options burnt onto the Touch Bar.

My MacBook Pro Touch Bar has this green/blue tint and looks really weird. It also has certain options "burnt" into the screen too (like the option used to adjust brightness). This happened to me randomly and I don't know why. Please help if you can.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.5

You do not say what exact Mac is this...



for Intel—

Try resetting the SMC Reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support


Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

(get at least two-three rounds of the chimes when holding the NRAM Reset)




for M1/M2—


there is no SMC or MVRAM on M1/M2


for SoC Mac- SMC reset equivalent is Shut down, close the lid 30 secs+ , reboot as normal


no resolve—Try a SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support



If no insight/resolve/or change it typically indicates a hardware issue:

In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment
