Title:

Touch bar replacement Yay or Nay?

Text:

Hello Everyone,

this is my first question ever but i have been following this page for a quite a while since repairing apple products is kinda of a hobby of mine! Ironically enough,  i managed to get water on my touch bar and Display!!!!The display is kinda okay and fully functional but the touch bar is completely out!

I also checked if this is due to a Software problem and noticed that “Touch bar agent and Server” are not running at all! Should they be running under “Activity Monitor” regardless of the functionality of the hardware?

Also, I am facing the problem of finding a touch bar and replacement guide! does anyone have any experience regarding this matter that would like to share?

[product|IF123-112]

Is this actually complete or do i need to purchase any extra parts?

Would you guys recommend replacing it myself?

I went to a shop that handles and repairs apple products and also and the official “Handler” but obviously they wanna change the whole top case and would cost me up to 800€ /910$  which is insane!

I would really appreciate your feedback on the matter since am a novice when it comes to new macs repairs!

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Magd
