Static when waking up Mac Mini M1 I have this issue since I got my Mac Mini M1 back in May 2021. When I wake it up, at least twice a day, it will display static instead of login screen and I have to unplug/ plug the cable (more than once some times) to the Mini before I get back right picture. I'm using this cable (sized 3 feet 3⅜ inches or 1m) with this screen. I have the latest macOS 12.1 (21C52) so it's not software related. Any thoughts, suggestions and/ or ideas? Thank you and happy holidays!

Static on Display when Waking from Sleep My 2023 Mac Studio M2 Max 64 GB RAM, with an external display connected through it's HDMI port, upon waking from sleep displays multicolored static. Disconnecting the HDMI cable and reconnecting restores normal operation. Any known solution for this?

Mac mini does not wake the screen up I just bought a new Mac Mini M1 with 8GB of RAM running Big Sur 11.5.2 and every time the computer and screen go to sleep, the computer will not be able to wake the screen up. And I've seen a bunch of questions on same topic from other users. The same problem was with my old 2013 MacBook Pro laptop. The question is why Apple sells its devices so expensive and we constantly have to suffer from this shit?

Disable Sleep, it’s unnecessary on later Macs, all pain, no gain. Shut for long absences i.e. > 2 hours. To disable, check “Prevent…” in Energy Preferences and uncheck everything else. You can leave the display off time as is, unrelated to Sleep.

Ok will give that a try and report back, as others are having similar problems.

Thanks.
