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.

Yup same. Trying to get some more info. Did you always have this bug or did it start happening with one of the updates?

Same here. Bug still present on 11.2.2

Did you ever try an exchange/return after all? I'm having the same issue.

Wait so did you do that and get it fixed? I was waiting for another update to come out and then hoping for them to just replace it if it still exists.

I didn’t want to go to physical store. I just got busy and ignored the problem hoping for a software fix TBH.

Apr 27, 2021 7:00 AM in response to barrettfromva

Anyone see if this is fixed in 11.3?

Apr 27, 2021 5:37 PM in response to Meropenem248

Ive just updated and will let you know?

Apr 28, 2021 6:18 PM in response to CyberExpedition

Yup, didn't fix it for me either. Taking it into an AASP now

Apr 28, 2021 6:48 PM in response to Meropenem248

Let me know how it goes. I’m probably going to take mine in too.

My MacBook Pro has been waking from sleep mode without any problems for 2 days since loading the new Version 11.3

May 11, 2021 7:21 AM in response to barrettfromva

The issue persists for me after 11.3.1, too. Hopefully they are going to solve the problem.

It didn't work for me. :(
