2020 MacBook Pro M1 wake from sleep issue

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!

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!

Fortunately for me, service managed to fix it. They changed the main board and loudspeakers(?). After that, my mac started to work correctly.

But before it started to work I was twice in local apple service and then I had to send it somewhere else. Overall it took about one month... ridiculous!

Why did I even receive a new laptop which doesn't work as expected?

So for all of you waiting for solving this with software update - it might not be the case.

Guess I will have to do the same. Go to some one external.

Changing the screen doesn't make sense as the screen is working perfectly fine.

Not able to understand what mechanism malfunctions when the lid is closed or the computer is shut down.

Till the screensaver is on it works perfectly fine!!!

Did you find out what was the malfunction that needed to be fixed?

I have the issue on an M1 Mac Studio. A few times tonight I had to force a reboot. I realized by the error messages that it wasn’t rebooting, it was crashing on restart. I spent a lot of money on this machine to upgrade from an older iMac. Pretty bummed to be scraping the internet for a fix for ‘Sleep’

I am having this same issue. if it goes to sleep, with the screen open or closed, the screen stay off on wake. Closing and reopening the screen does solve it.

I'll give that a try, seems easier than constantly openeing, closing the lid.

Yep. I use Drift btw.

Anyone figure out a fix yet? This still happens to me on MacOS 11.2. Strangely, if you reboot it or let it sleep and try again it seems to work leading me to think this is software not hardware.

Wow, that also works for me, thanks for the tip, much better than closing/opening the lid.

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?

installing now, will report back.
