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:
- Flickering flashing touch bar on MacBook … - Apple Community (~220 "Me Too")
- Flashing/flickering Touch Bar MacBook Pro… - Apple Community (~2000 "Me Too")
This is clearly a very pervasive manufacturer HW or SW (or both) flaw.
Please advise.
