My touch bar disappeared

My macbook pro was working just fine but suddenly my touch bar became unresponsive, when i restarted my Mac the touch bar disappeared. I even tried reinstalling the whole operating software again but it didn't help. The touch bar returned mysteriously only to become unresponsive again and then disappear.

It appears sometimes when i restart after a long time but becomes unresponsive and then disappears. The touch id works just fine.

Please help!


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.6

But the thing is it appeared suddenly was working fine for a two days and then again became unresponsive and upon restarting, it disappeared.

If it's a hardware problem why does it work all fine for two days only to disappear

Typically this would indicate a hardware fault...


On a Intel Mac you can try both—

Try resetting the SMC Reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support see the details.


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)
