M1 MacBook Air Pink Screen Crashing

Same here, I've had it happen twice. It happened today and a few months back. It happened today after waking it up and my wifi wouldn't connect. After I ran the wifi diagnostics, I got the pink screen and shut down.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I’ve been experiencing the same kernel panic issue on my 3 weeks old Mac air m1, couldn’t update to Monterey, took the device to service for two times, was about to lose my hope. Then I did this and managed to update to Monterey. Hope kernel panics don’t occur again.. Also I realized that on Monterey there isn’t that “Mirror Displays” box to uncheck, so maybe Apple was aware of this bug and intentionally remove it with update? Who knows.. I hope other people experiencing the same issue see this solution.

MBP refurb 2020. I've had this happen daily in all kinds of software contexts. Editing code, watching videos, using finder. I haven't connected a single peripheral device (wired or bluetooth). It happens plugged into power and unplugged.

For me, I think it's bad hardware. It happens sometimes. :(

The pink screen followed by a reboot is caused when the M1 Macbook is connected to an external display and in clamshell mode.

I have tried two different hubs and connecting the Apple Thunderbolt displays directly to the M1 Macbook, and it also happens.

I think it is related to the Mac going into sleep mode. I don't let the Mac go to sleep mode by activating an anti-sleep app called Theine and leaving the Mac lid open.

That’s not the case for all machines. When I said I had not a single peripheral attached, that included monitors. No other hardware whatsoever. Also independent of being plugged in and charging.

I’m not sure whether clamshell mode refers to lid closed or open; in my experience a clamshell can do both :) but for me, since I’ve been using it exclusively as a laptop, mine is open.

Sorry to hear about your frustration. Keep sending the reports to Apple with details. My own crashes were annoying but not debilitating. Started about 4 months into having it and then, as I said, were solved a couple months ago now…knock on wood. Good luck.

This issue has happened with me, however, I am out of the 14 day 'cool off' period for consumers.

On multiple occasions I've had the issue where my laptop has crashed, showed a black screen - with blocks of pixelated pink and then its rebooted and restarted.

This was purchased around 2-3 months ago (MacBook Pro 13" with the M1 Chip)... What should I do to prevent this happening again or should I also request a return/swap?

Thanks,

Danny

For what it's worth Danny, I returned my previous refurb and got another 2020 M1 MBP. I'm running the same software, same OS version, in the same situation (laptop mode, no accessories whatsoever) and no longer have any issues with the replacement.

It’s been one year since i bought my M1 MacBook Air (8 core/16gb). I’ve already updated to 11.6 few weeks ago, and yesterday pink screen crash happened first time :( I was just watching netflix, no other tab, no other app, just netflix.. I don’t know what to do, apple services are terrible in my country

I've started having this problem too. It's happened twice this weekend, and I noticed that it seemed to happen while watching YouTube videos. Same with you, by chance?

I also get a pink crash screen... I did set up this mac from a previous back up. I really don't want to set it up again :(

Here's the report content -

I think you probably have a defective unit and you should return it.

I have similar configured MAC and have just started having the same issue starting yesterday June 21, 2021. I ran the suggested diagnostic to give the ADP000 code (ie no issues) which is BS!!!
