...update your OS if you can...and then unscrew your rear shell. Mine was Kernel Panic (began with flickering touchbar) restarting randomly and I went through all the online suggestions...nada. On a hunch, I unscrewed my rear Aluminum cover and then let it sit there relieved from pressure for days. No restarting errors. Tonight, I let the battery die, then disconnected it for a moment...then reattached....shimmed it with 4 rubber bushings around the corners and taped the rear lid back on (gapped from circuits)....with a rear breather element (open cell foam from a kitchen sponge) for cooling. For one moment...the lousy touchbar actually illuminated. Can GeniusClowns explain this? Regardless....this might be a decent resolve for others....****** off, like I am....about Apple and their ignorance to a huge problem. They need a lawsuit. (Macbook Pro 2019)
