Touchbar Malfunctional

Macbook Pro with Sonoma 14.4. Touchbar does not working right for over a year. There is a rectangular bar next to the power button keeps on blinking. And the next one and a half inch long area to its left is totally black. This area should display the volume controls. It works when I touch it, but just no display. No help with reseting and restarting. Anyone has similar issues and have solutions? Thanks.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 14.4
