MacBook Pro Touch Bar Problem

I have a MacBook Pro (macOS 14.5) with a touch bar. My touch bar still works but has a blue tint. The icons and words are also stuck in the background of the touch bar screen as if they are burnt in (but are not). This happened randomly and out of nowhere. I've tried updating my software, restarting my computer, and deleting everything off my computer. What else can I do to fix it? Please let me know!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 14.5

typically it is a hardware issue...


Software fix on the Intel are limited to :


resetting the System Management Controller Reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support


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

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




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

Make an appointment for a "hardware issue"
