Touch Bar black but works + goes into sleep mode only after opening
Hey everyone,
New here and still newish repair guy. This is my 3rd MacBook Pro a2338 repair and this time the issue is strange. The person told me that the Mac is unresponsive and the Touch Bar blacks out + the keyboard doesn't light up. After performing a clean install through DFU (wiping, reinstalling the file system, then loading newest copy of Sequoia), the backlight issue disappeared, but the Touch Bar issue persisted.
When starting up the Mac, the Touch Bar flashes from time to time. After entering the main menu the Touch Bar stays black but responds to touch. In addition to that the computer has problems entering sleep mode when closing lid or even when clicking on the sleep function in the main menu. I'll be trying another DFU full reinstall before opening up the machine. Heard somewhere that those issues might be because of a defective trackpad. Trackpad seems to work and react fine though.
Any ideas what might cause those issues?
What about the closing lid and impossible sleep problem? Also triggered by the fault with the Touch Bar? Any voltages around the connectors that need to be there?

@invi72800 - There is no direct link between the two, but the Hall sensor used to sense the close/open state of the display also effects the TouchBar. But if the screen is reacting correctly the Hall sensor and its logic is working.
The so called impossible sleep issue is a failed Hall sensor which in this model is located on the logic board. Unlike the older 4 port models which had two sensors this model only has one. Lastly, the newer M series use an angle sensor version with a magnet attached to the hinge.
