M1 MacBook screen is black but everything else working
I have a M1 Macbook, it had no damages and everything was fine yesterday evening. No trauma or liquid damage afaik as it was just on the desk. Then suddenly it started going black, first it was every minute or so, in that point closing the display and opening it fixed it.
Then it started turning off every 30 seconds, same thing closing display and opening again fixed it. At this point, connecting to an external monitor worked fine. So on the external monitor I could use it like regular (with mirrored or extended screen).
Then I restarted, tried a bunch of things on the https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT210905 and https://www.macbookproslow.com/fix-black....
I never got into safe mode or knew if things were working, but I tried all the keyboard combinations. Late into the night, it started working and then I used the Macbook regularly, I went to sleep happy that it was fixed.
Now I woke up and the screen is not working at all, not even showing the apple logo which it was last night. Also, it's not working on external monitor either. I can still see the external monitor and the mouse but it's a black background. The backlight is working and the keys and everything seem fine.
Very frustrating and I'm not sure what to do :(

Hi! This exact thing is happening to me now too. Did you ever get anywhere with the repairs? Thanks!

@claireoreilly I had the same issue - I got it repaired by Apple under my AppleCare+ warranty. It cost me nothing.

@charliemel65447 what did they say? What is the reason for this issue. Apparently they had fixed the issue in 2018 model but it doesn’t seem to work. Many people are still facing the same issue.

I have the same issue. Was working the other night before then suddenly went blank. Screen is on by playing with brightness, you can see it's lighter grey and darker grey. Just nothing shows up on display. Connecting to External display (On mirror) works as well. Tried opening the back to wiggle around with battery and display cable, nothing works.
I do suspect there is something with the 'Angle sensor' which controls the opening and closing of the lid. But I might be wrong.
