Hi! My second machine is a MBP 16" and since I upgraded to 12.3.1 I have occasional, random flashes where the screen of the laptop goes black for like 1 second and then it's back to normal. Never happened before this upgrade. So it's not with an external monitor like others have reported. Is anyone having the same issue?

Black screen issues can be serious sometimes. A MacBook or MacBook Pro sometime can be stuck on a Black screen and become unresponsive. There can be various reasons for this issue such as:

1. Display issue
2. Battery issue
3. Software/App causing the error
4. Broken Disk permission
5. MacOS incompatibility

However, to fix the issue, you can try the below methods:

1. Check the power or power cable
2. Restart the MacBook system
3. Reset the PRAM/NVRAM
4. Reset the SMC
5. Reinstall the MacOS

Hope it helps!

In my case the computer works perfectly including the screen, apart these occasional brief black outs. I have tried those things already without luck.
