MacBook Pro M1 screen turns black

• Hey all,

I'm experiencing an issue where the internal display turns black a few seconds to a couple of minutes after I turn it on. More details:

the screen turns black but not completely off - I can faintly see the outlines of the windows or cursor

• the screen temporarily returns to normal for a bit if I close and reopen the lid but goes black again shortly after

• when connected to an external monitor, the external display works just fine while the internal one is black

•

I've tried to:

boot in safe mode,

• reseted the display preferences by deleting the 2 com.apple.windowserver files

• check for updates (I'm on 14.0)

• ran the lid test by moving the display back and forth - no immediate flickering or response

Please did anyone experience the same issue and how did you fix it?

Sounds like a hardware issue with the Display assembly, Display cable

In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment
