Macbook Pro 16" 2023 M3 built in display failing randomly- no backlight/colors, only very dark blurry images.
hello, My macbook pro m3 from 2023 (purchased 6 months ago) has started to have very regular display failures. The BUILT IN display is beginning to randomly go completely dark, however I notice the screen does get brighter when I turn the brightness up, it's just that the screen becomes extremely dark and blurry with no color.
I have videos of it happening, sometimes closing the macbook and reopening the lid brings the screen back, sometimes temporarily and other times for a long time. The screen has been functioning properly for a bout 5 minutes at the time of writing this, but had just failed a few minutes ago.
Restarting the computer seems to work well, with about a 20% chance of restarting the built in display.
One instance of a rather strange colorful bugged screen did appear but otherwise it's been consistent- can faintly make out the shapes of windows and the apple logo, but the screen is 99% black/grey depending on brightness level and I can't read any text or actually see anything.
Updating to OS 15 at the moment, hopefully that helps? I have a apple store appointment scheduled but I'm REALLY not trying to exchange this computer for another one given that I have almost 100 software licenses active on THIS machine specifically and will have to deactivate all of them and relicense all of my software again...
This was a problem on the forums like 8 years ago, I'm really hoping it can be fixed easily....
