MacBook Pro 2020 Touch Bar gone black and it started to have kernel panic.

I have MacBook Pro 2020 , first it's touchbar started to go black and it looked like there was a blue liquid but I know that I didn't spill anything on it . Then in 2 days it completed black and it started to have kernel panic.

Now it restarts itself in ever 3 minutes.

panic(cpu 1 caller 0xfffffff018a8db8c): userspace watchdog timeout: no successful checkins from dfrd (2 induced crashes) in 180 seconds

dfrd has not exited since first loaded

service: dfrd (2 induced crashes), total successful checkins in 210 seconds: 2, last successful checkin: 180 seconds ago

You have a hardware issue...


< dfrd > dynamic function row daemon


— the System daemon that communicates with the touch bar.

when a kernel panic issues when the dfrd is queried by watchdog, this typically indicates a hardware issue.



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