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

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)
