Mac Mini M1 no HDMI output

I was using my FHD LG 24M45 monitor (1920*1080) with no issue for about 6 hours on my one day old Mac mini M1 through HDMI port. After I received an update for the system and restarted, no HDMI output since.

I bought a USB C to HDMI adapter and the monitor works fine. Just the HDMI connector has some problems.

Any idea how to restore it? Is it a software or a hardware problem?

I have seen similar problems on forums, but most of them used 4k or higher, or dual monitor. I am just using my peasant FHD one...

Mac mini, macOS 11.1

What macOS version are you currently on?

Yeah' it's been a mixed bag around here. Some folks report that 11.2 fixed the problem, while others are reporting the opposite.

Restart the M1 again and then try moving the HDMI cable back to the HDMI port.

If that doesn’t help, I would try connecting a second small HDTV or Display to the HDMI port with your current monitor still connect to the USB-C port.

I do use the 11.2, also this hdmi problem occured when i tried to install the 11.2.1. After restart, the display blacked out, and since it cant find any output source.

After i connected the hdmi with usb c, i reinstalled the whole system, alsó nő luck with that.

Right now i use the thing with usb c adapter.

I had the exact same thing happen! Brand new m1 Mini that I was in process of setting up today. decided to run the update after playing with it for awhile and the HDMI output stopped working. Found this thread and luckily I had a usb-c to hdmi adapter on hand. Now the HDMI port won't output at all. Using an LG UN32650. Updated to 11.2.2 (Don't know what was installed when I first turned it on.) Nice going Apple!!
