MacBook Pro M1 14” Display Screen Broken Black Blurry White Images

- After my screen suddenly went black I was unable to access the operating system, even after a hard reboot. Immediately, the Apple logo can be seen as a blurred white image.
I connected an external display via HDMI and was able to see my desktop, paired a Bluetooth mouse, and booted into the disk, utility to reformat and reinstall the operating system. After this, the screen came back, and I thought the issue was over, but within one day, the issue came back.
I have tried booting by holding the start button down to get to the “start up options “screen, bit it’s blurred; I have tried command R to boot into recovery mode but it’s blurred, and I have even tried the original SM C, and PRAM resets even though I believe they do not apply to the silicon CPU Macbooks.
At one point, the display returned, flickered to black every once in a while, but seemed to stay on, so I decided to do a CPU stress test in the terminal, and when running multiple cores at 100% the screen issue immediately returns and cannot be corrected.
I suspect that if I connect to an external HDMI screen, I may be able to access the computer again, but I obviously cannot be productive in this manner, especially if I am somewhere that I do not have access to an external screen.
The computer was purchased in February 2022 and it is now April 2023, so it is just two months out of warranty, and I am hoping that since this issue seems to be fairly common Apple will make the appropriate replacements at no cost. I will be taking it to an Apple authorized service center in my city. Via Apple support chat the representative stated that if there is a manufacturing defect, it would be covered, and I hope that his words are true. 
I will update this video later on the status and whether or not Apple will cover this repair for me, or if I will have to pay out of pocket for what I believe is a $600-$700 repair on a laptop that has been treated like a baby, never dropped, never spilled on, and used ever so lightly without any CPU/GPU intensive tasks, with minimal screen brightness, and even battery longevity techniques using the 20/80 rule.
EDIT: people keep asking how I fixed it, even though I replied many times, so I'll restate it. It was a hardware issue and the entire screen needed to be replaced. it's not cheap out of warranty, but in my case apple covered it as I was just 2 months out of warranty.


This same symptom just appeared in my M1 Max that I have babied since purchasing it. I’m a computer/software engineer at Boeing and NASA and I used to work as a computer support technician so I have a pretty good idea of what not to do with any computer. The lid angle sensor makes total sense to me. It has manifested while I was using it on my desk and when hooked up to a usb c dock. I’m going to contact apple right now as soon as I find my proof of purchase.
Have the same issue with my M1 16" . How can it be linked to the rubber?
For those wondering, this is an issue with the lid angle sensor/flex cable. It needs to be replaced and calibrated.
Sir I am also facing same problem on my pro m2 model can you explain the problem
Is it a common/quick fix? how much?
The symptoms I’m seeing support that assessment. It happens even before the boot rom is loaded so it can’t be a software issue.
Hi! Just a question, did they ever find corrosions inside your laptop?
I don’t think so, because they probably would have mentioned it, plus my laptop has been in the AC every day and night and never had a spill or even so much as let food come near it :)
I have just had the same problem. Screen stopped working suddenly during a Teams Call. Warranty lapsed around 2 weeks earlier. Fortunately, Apple replaced the screen at no charge under UK Consumer Law. I was told that the problem was due to a faulty sensor.
Exactly the same thing happened to me
Im having the same exact problem.....
We have the same issue. What has been your resolution to this problem?
It’s in the comments
Hi what happened at the service centre then for your laptop did it get replaced for free and how what did you say
Because the service of the “authorized service center” was so shockingly bad apple agreed to pay for the screen if I paid for the labor; which was fine with me.
@@trademarked8320 how much did you pay
Authorised service centre was bad meaning they ruined the screen for you?
Which service centre did you go to
@@rishiagarwal2071 long story but they refused to diagnose the problem, pushed the sale of parts, wouldn’t cooperate with apple (who I had on the phone and who had made an appointment for diagnosis at the store), and even the apple reps on the phone were shocked at what they were dealing with. This was in thailand.
Can It still be connected to External moniter?
IT HAPPENED TO ME AS WELL
Please what causes this?
Hi, Any updates reagards this issue.
Yes, it’s in the comments
?happen to me too ~ 6 month out of warranty ~ the guy at the apple store didnt even acknowledge the problem. should this be a designflaw? did anybody here anything about a class action suite?
I’m having this same problem. It’s bad. Idk don’t get it fixed I will loose all my scholarships. I was working on some college assignments when this happened. Please tell me how you fixed it!!
People keep asking how to fix it or how I fixed but aren't reading the comments. It was a hardware issue. The screen had to be replaced. I will edit the description to state this. Sorry you have the issue too, but you're going to need to go to the Apple Store for help.
Connect your mac with a external monitor.
Very bad experience with my Mac pro 14 inch 2021...2times replaced the Main logic board and top case under warranty for crackling noise issue on speaker and on paid service replaced main logic board..a.right after the repair I faced this same blank and blur screen issue ..given mac to service and they told no issue in hardware it's working fine with a week after that got the same issue worst experience ever...from India
Service at bangalore ample I care
Wow, you are describing the exact same issues I’m having with the exact same laptop, though the crackling only happened once, which was the logic board as well of course.. I’ll fix this now and then instantly sell this thing, it’s a reliablity.
The screen is broken... it needs replacing, you can hook your macbook up to a monitor, reset wait for donk sound and close the lid. You'll need to hook up a keyboard and mouse. You can get them repaired But if you re repairing it with apple, it's as expensive as buying a new one
Just happened to me
I have the same problem right now!
Same idk what to do because i just got it
@@tumoanahovellIk dude, and we pay so much money for these products. Apple has been very disappointing lately, first their new phone, now their laptops 😭
Any updates now ?
Yes, Apple replaced my screen under warranty. it's a problem with the screen stub. The only way to fix it is to replace it. @@techspace-dp4pr
yh I just took it to the shop and they fixed it for free because it has a 2 year warranty@@techspace-dp4pr
I have same issue. Did you fix it?
I tried everything but it was hardware. The Apple authorized service center replaced the screen. It was 2 months out of warranty but Apple took care of it. Mostly because the auth service center was so bad.
@@trademarked8320 thanks for answer
@@demirelrecep Sure, Oh and i should mention, if you didn't see in the description, the to was able to connect an external monitor (a tv in this case) via HDMI to get access to the portion of my data that was not backed up, and to reformat to safeguard my information when taking it to the 3rd party apple authorized service center.
How long did it take for apple to fix it
Apple approved it quickly, even a few months out of warranty, but the authorized service provider (I’m not near an Apple Store) was so bad that Apple voluntarily put in a complaint against them because they were near impossible to work with. Once they finally go a high enough rep on the phone (which I had to do) it just took a couple days to fix.
Same issue just randomly went blank in the middle of typing. So annoying anyone know how much it is to get it fixed?
I was quoted $900 but apple ended up covering it two months after the warranty ended. I have had basically every apple product that has existed since 2007 so that may have helped.
Got quoted $900 at the Apple Store. Fml $3,500 1 year old laptop RIP
@@NoelleRcrazeforpink in all fairness they did step up and pay for it, even out of warranty, and I’ve had that situation before, and that’s one of the reasons I don’t just own their products but also hold quite a bit of stock.
Same problem here just happened today
@@scott_careysame
Thanks for the video! Happened to me yesterday and I spent the entire day today trying different solutions... Oddly, mine happened after I plugged in a secondary monitor and used it for 4 hour-ish.
There was some message before the screen went black but was too fast for me to read. I guesss I will be taking it to the store for replacement.
What is the condition now bro 😢
Same here *
This is fhe last f****** apple computer I'm buying, I'm so f****** sick of their screen issues.
Same had to pay over $700 to fix it. 2 months out of warranty and refused to help me out.
