After closing the lid and waiting over 10-15 minutes when I open the clamshell the screen is blank. The system is awake and you can hear alerts, and if you randomly hit keys on the keyboard you can hear stuff. Today one of my folders got renamed due to hitting all the keys to get a response.

The work around is to close it and open it again, which is not how it should work. My MacBook Pro M1 works fine and does not require the extra step of open / closing the lid to resume from a sleep.


This was a problem since day one with the Air. We followed all the "fixes" out on the web(SMC/re-install/new user)... A couple days ago it started functioning, but today it quit working again.


% pmset -g log |grep Clamshell

% pmset -g

System-wide power settings:

Currently in use:

standby 1

Sleep On Power Button 1

hibernatefile /var/vm/sleepimage

powernap 1

disksleep 10

sleep 1 (sleep prevented by powerd)

hibernatemode 3

ttyskeepawake 1

displaysleep 94

tcpkeepalive 1

lowpowermode 1



The difference today, it is showing DarkWake when we open the clamshell.

What can be done to either disable DarkWake or modify it so when the clamshell is open the screen is on.

Thank you,
Ed

Yep, that is seriously bad. Take it in. Hopefully you have AppleCare+.

BTW, when pressing keys blindly, try to pick keys like the arrows, Esc, etc. that won’t accidentally rename something.

Update: This works when the system is plugged in charging, but when it is unplugged it stops working.

The system is almost a year old and we don't have AppleCare.
