Thunderbolt displqy has gone dark

[Philippe Chandless]

Good afternoon all,

I have a 27” Thunderbolt Display connected to a Mac mini. Recently it has been ‘going black’ and only comes back to life when I swap the display port connector (via a USB C to display port adaptor) from one usb c port to the other. Today it’s decided it has had enough and will not come back to life when I change ports.

I thought it might be the Mac mini but when I connect the display to a friend’s MacBook Pro it remains lifeless.

Has anyone else experienced this or got any advice? The display is about 5 years old.

Regards
Philippe

I have a 27” Samsung display directly connected to my MacMini via HDMI, when the Mac has been asleep for a while it refuses to wakeup on its own until I push the settings switch on the display. The power light is always on.

My second 27” display (Apple LCD, 10 years old) is connected via a T3 hub, via a mini display port connector, and never complains. If Apple brought out a new reasonably priced 27” display (sub £1,000), I'd jump. But when they sell their new AirPods Max for £550, I can’t see that happening.

Not sure this will help you, but you never know.

Anyone on here buying the AirPods Max?
