MacBook Pro 2019 flickering touch bar

I have a 2019 Macbook Pro 13 inch, and the touch bar flashes and flickers, usually shortly after awaking from sleep (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQCT0LmwNYs&ab_channel=GuyGAZIV).

This phenomenon persists even after factory resetting of the computer and/or OS reinstall (incl. Ventura, Monterey, Catalina, and Mojave), and/or NVRAM/SMC reset.

HW automatic testing came out flawless from a professional Apple Service Provider.


This is very similar to the following previous reports:


This is clearly a very pervasive manufacturer HW or SW (or both) flaw.


Please advise.

Hello ggaziv,


You mentioned completely restoring the Mac to factory settings, and also having the Mac inspected by a certified technician. Generally, if the issue persists after restoring the Mac to factory settings, this would indicate a hardware issue. However, since the technician wasn't able to identify a hardware issue, we'd recommend contacting Apple Support directly.


Take care.
