Apple Studio Display dims on its own ! (solution see below)



To restore the brightness, I pressed the F2 key, which brightens it up for a moment, but after a short while, the screen dims again to the minimum setting. It keeps coming and going and is driving me crazy!


Just before this happened, I cleaned my external keyboard (using a slightly damp cloth) and some of the keys stopped working properly or typed two or three letters instead of one.


REASON for the decrease in brightness: the keyboard is interfering with a bad connection (F1 key)


SOLUTION: let the keyboard dry thoroughly / replace the F1 key or the external keyboard.



MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.0
