Apple Studio Display is showing ellipsis animation and going completely black afterwards

Today when I woke up my computer, I was expecting the display to wake up. Instead I saw ellipsis(3 dots). There is nothing else displayed on the monitor or on my laptop's builtin monitor.


I contacted Apple support, they suggested I should take my display to Apple Store for service.


Is there anything I can do before going to Apple Store? Especially I am wondering the meaning of ellipsis animation when the display is plugged into power. Is there a troubleshooting guide for this device?


Thanks for your insights.

I see the issue on my Studio Display’s screen. My laptop works perfectly. I meant to say I did not get any error messages on my laptop. Please ignore the laptop part.


I would like to understand the meaning of ellipsis on Studio Display. What do they indicate?

How does one troubleshoot from that kind of error?
