M1 Screen Display - Stagelight Effect

My new Macbook Pro M1 occasionally shows a dim screen with what looks like stage lights coming from the bottom of the screen.


I have read that this was an issue with older Macbook Pro's but.....help!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2

It was the subject of an uncommon issue in certain MacBook Pro 2016 models, and was serious enough in that model ONLY that there was a recall.


in all others, it is likely a display cable problem, but is considered a sample defect, covered by warranty or AppleCare PLUS, or requiring screen replacement otherwise. May be upwards of US$600 if you have to pay for it.
