Recently my battery went completely dead. When I turned on the computer, the touch bar is black with nothing on it. Tried everything I found online to turn on, but nothing. Any suggestions?

Hi nicole20,

I understand that after your battery recently died, your MacBook Pro Touch Bar doesn't work. I'm happy to provide some help for this issue.

I recommend that you reset your SMC and NVRAM, which can help with system and display related issues. Use the steps in the articles below:

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Cheers!
