Studio display won’t start
I had no problem initially starting with my studio display. Yesterday, I had to move it and now it won’t start. I plug it in and 3 dots appear and then studio display goes black. Help!

to get a Mac display to become active, you need the Mac to query the display, and the display to answer with its name and capabilities. Otherwise, the display will not be shown as present, and no data will be sent to the display. "No signal detected" is generated by the DISPLAY, not by the Mac.
This query is only sent at certain times:
• at startup
• at wake from sleep — so momentarily sleeping and waking your Mac may work
• at insertion of the Mac-end of the display-cable, provided everything on that cable is ready-to-go
• on invoking Option-(Detect Display) button in Displays preferences (from another display)
so try doing some of those things and see if the display comes alive.
