My display has stopped working on my MacBook Pro. Also the touch strip above the key board doesn’t work. Does anyone know the key commands for powering up a second display?

You can try —

M1 SoC - SMC reset equivalent is: Shut down, close the lid 30 secs+ , reboot as normal


no resolve—Try a SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support to sort anomalies.


For an external monitor—plug it in restart if necessary.

Connect a display to your Mac - Apple Support



If it is a GPU failure the external monitor will not work

If it is isolated to a internal Display alone, then GPU would still be functional...


In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment

Make an appointment for a "hardware issue"
