Small section of the Touch Bar is not lit up.

It appears that it has fixed itself. Not sure how, just left it on standby and it then when I opened the lid, it was working again. Not sure what caused it to break or stop working. Thanks for trying!

@philhasbread - I bet your room is cooled so the aluminum case has contracted! Forcing the break to fuse back together physically! That’s not a true fix, sorry 😢

I’ve seen this a few times now. Most of the people who I talked with did tell me their systems did get quite hot, either in a hot car (off) or heavy processing. So the case physically expanded. Unlike the main display the TouchBar is very narrow and physically glued along its length so as the upper case swells from heat it can’t hold its shape as it’s to firmly attached to the uppercase. Aluminum is one of the most heat sensitive metals.

For reference simple water expands as it is chilled to Ice! What you are seeing is the reverse as the metal shrinks as it gets cold!
