MacBook Pro 2020 Touch Bar Display Issue: Seeking Solutions

Hello,

Approximately one week ago, I powered up my MacBook Pro 2020, and I noticed few blue spots appearing on the touch bar.

Over the week, these spots expanded each day, until the touch bar completely dark.

The touch bar still functions normally, but it is now entirely black.

I also checked few times the touch bar settings to make sure I didn't messed up something there, and everything seems fine.


I would greatly appreciate any guidance or solutions for this issue. Thank you.



MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.5
