M2 MacBook Air Random Black Screen
I've seen this issue all over online, where the M2 Macbook Air screen will randomly turn black while you're working. it happens with me often. The only fix is to hold down the power button and force shutdown the laptop, then turn it back on. unfortunately you can lose work with this "fix"
I've figured out the cause and how to replicate it.
- when your laptop screen dims right before the screen going to sleep due to not using it for x mins, if you press any key on the keyboard or click the trackpad to try and wake it up, that's what triggers the black screen. the computer is still working, the keyboard lights up, sounds, etc. but the screen is completely black.
- I've tested this many...many times. if you let the computer go to sleep without attempting to wake it up, then you're good to wake it up again after 30 secs or so.
- @appledevs -> Please test this out on the Macbook M2's for us and create a fix. we don't know if it's a hardware fix or a software fix, but a lot of people are having this issue and this is the way i've been able to replicate the issue consistently.
MacBook Air, macOS 13.2
