2020 MacBook Pro M1 wake from sleep issue

Just bought a new M1 MacBook Pro 13" and when I close the lid and have it sleep for a while, upon opening the lid the screen does not come on. I have to close the lid and then open it again for the screen to turn on, does anyone else have this issue? I have messed with all the display options, restarted the laptop, etc, but no luck. Also running the latest Big Sur update.


When I put it to sleep and immediately open the lid again the wake up works fine, it's only when the computer is asleep for a longer period is when I have this issue.

For me, if you use a flash light you can see the screen is on, just no backlight. Not sure if this is the same issue as everyone else or not

I found a possible workaround. On my M1 MacBook Air, I set a Hot Corner to start a screen saver. If I open the lid and the backlight is off, I mouse into the corner which starts the screen saver. When I move the cursor from the corner or press a key the back light comes on.

> As part of getting back to Big Sur, I also did the DFU "revive" option (which is the only way to get Big Sur 'recovery' back.). That also did _not_ fix the issue.


I love mod edits. ;).


For those who might read that line and not understand "get Big Sur 'recovery' back", I had done something that changed the installed 'recovery' on the Mac to something else by responding to an email sent to ALL registered Mac users inviting them to examine a PUBLIC piece of operating system software.


I'm very sincere in stating that I was unaware that an offhand mention of that by name was against the rules. Please accept my apologies.

Does anyone who has had the hardware change/logicboard change still have this issue?


Looking at this thread it appears to have been going for a year, and not been resolved.


I brought my MacPro M1 in September, so keen to get it 'fixed' under warranty rather than wait and see if it improves.


The ESC trick doesn't work for me, I have tried adjusting the auto brightness, and am on the latest version on Monterey (not the beta) - it still does it! This isn't right.


My nearest Apple Store is 60 miles away, so would prefer not to have to drive there and back to get this sorted.

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?
