2020 MacBook Pro M1 wake from sleep issue

After updates and many different setting tried. I get the best results from making sure that I QUIT Mail completely. however still having a problem sometimes. It Seems that either the M1 processor or Apple's technical abilities are not what you would expect.

Hello, I have the same problem and it's very annoying, bought mine on august 11th, I've taken contact with apple since 5 days ago and they DONT know what it's happening, also I brought my MacBook Pro M1 to a service provider (official) and all the diagnostics was positive and the guy told me that the Mac is ok. In my case of the Apple support, they will pass the case with engineering area in order to "evaluate" the replacement of the Mac...

I just have one question for all of you guys, do you also have the indicator of automatically adjust brightness in "NO"? (About this Mac > System report > Graphics/display) because on my sister's MBA (intel) says YES, and with a friend that has the MBP 2018 also says YES (in my system preferences I have it activated)

I just bought a new Macbook Air M1 1st September from the Apple website and got it yesterday. Having the exact same issue immediately with my brand new Macbook. When I close the lid and open it after 5-10 minutes it's fine but after maybe 30 minutes, the screen doesn't turn on but the keyboard backlight is there.

At first all I could do was reboot it everytime which annoyed me SO BAD but then I found out if I put the lid down and open it again it works.

This problem just completely defies the purpose of me getting a macbook cause I just want to open the lid and go.

Looked up Apple's return policy and it says you can return within 14 days so I'm probably just gonna send it back cause it's frustrating me so much.

A suggestion on the screensaver hot corners could help too. If the screen saver can be invoked that can wake up the screen rather than closing and opening the lid. Additionally if the screensaver time is reduced to say two min, the screensaver comes on before the screen sleeps and that somehow prevents this issue sometimes.

Well they changed the logic board and in the process deleted all my data without informing me that newer models have the hard disk also as part of the logic board.

Now they say they need to change the screen but I am not convinced. That's like changing the whole device.

The only way it works is if I keep it on permanently. On screen saver mode so the screen is active.

The minute I shut the lid the lines are back or the black screen is back and I have to start my process of flapping the lid or restarting the machine and then flapping the lid or resetting the smc etc and then flapping the lid open and close to get the screen activated again!

11.2.1 came out today and it’s quite large. Suspect there’s more fixes than what’s listed. Any of you update and any improvement?

im not a 100% sure but I have had the Mac OS monetary public bata installed on my Mac for a couple of days now and so far I haven't had any of the the Display issues I was having before on Big Sur

MBP M1 with 16GB RAM here. It has been 10 days now that my MBP started this problem of the black screen after the sleep (on waking up after either closed or open lid). I press the escape key many times until I finally see the login screen, but sometimes it doesn’t happen and actually I cannot use my laptop. Forced shutdown it doesn’t help either. Come on guys, fix it! It is a professional tool for many people here and this problem makes it so unreliable!

It's now June 18; the issue persists - as evidenced by many posts - and Apple still has not fixed via a software update.

I'm on Big Sur 11.4, several updates from when this was originally reported in December 2020.

I have the same exact issue with my MBP 13" M1. 11.5.1 still has not resolved the issue. I seen one comment that someone said they had to send theirs in for a new logic board. It makes me wonder if this is a hardware issue and we'll always see this problem until we get the hardware fixed... Has anyone resolved this issue by a logic board replacement? Or resolved any other way!?

Thanks,

I'm having the same issue. Never had a problem with my i5 MBP, but started noticing this once changed to an M1 MBP.

I noticed some people mentioned after its been sleeping for a while, but mine does it even after a few minutes. I'll leave the lid open, come back 5 mins later and it takes around 30 seconds to wake. You see the keyboard light up immediately, but the screen is black.

I've also tried the various keys (esc, spacebar, power). Sometimes it feels like this wakes it but I'm actually not sure if that is just a coincidence as I cant reliably replicate that.

Same happens when on an external monitor too. Sometimes have to unplug and plug in again to get it working.

Would love a response from Apple on this one. Also what is funny I watched a video of how responsive it is with switching to external only when you close the lid (which it is...) but it just has this odd issue when you leave it alone for a while.

I finally got around to letting Apple "repair" my M1 MBA. After going a week without, the work performed was described "replaced display assembly."

3 days after getting the machine back, the issue happened again, and it reoccurs every few days now. (As before, I haven't found a reliable way to repeat the issue on demand.)

I was recently told that if I were to bring my MBA in for another repair attempt, it might be _several_ weeks for the repair due to the upcoming Christmas Holidays. I'm losing faith in Apple.

I have a one year old Mac and after facing this issue for a month or so the Mac one day just wouldn't wake up from sleep despite pressing the escape button or the reset ctrl shift del options etc. The franchise service centre (we don't have Apple owned showrooms in India still!!!) replaced the logic board erasing all my data and now I am back to the same issue. Thanks for the "reopening laptop lid" trick. That seems to be working as of now. But how ridiculous to have to do that each time.

The service centre said they needed to replace the screen to take care of the issue. Don't understand how that can be the issue, when the screen is working just fine. I also rarely get blue vertical lines on the screen but they also go away after closing and opening the lid/restarting the machine.

Very frustrating. Planning to take legal action against the franchisee service centre for being clueless and mishandling the issue so badly!

And Apple customer care refuses to intervene. Total nightmare!
