When I close my MacBook Pro lid, my external display doesn't connect, even though it has been connected with the lid open.

I am connected to an external monitor, and can use it while my MacBook lid is open, however when I close the lid, it turns black.

Im connected to power and have a bluetooth keyboard and wireless mouse connected.

What can I do?

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

Are you sure your charger is making a good connection? If it is not then the display will shut down when you close the lid.
