In just the last week, my Apple Studio Display has started randomly turning off and on. I have a second monitor connected to the Studio Display Ultra and when the Studio Display turns off, I can see the contents of the Studio scree briefly appear on the second monitor. The Studio display will then turn on the contents move back to the Studio display.

Turning off the second display does not stop the off and on behavior of the Studio Display.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

PS Tried unplugging and plugging back in (after 10 min). Didn't help. Firmware is up to date.


SOLVED: I tried everything except trying a different Thunderbolt cable. I did and the problem appears to have resolved. I didn't think my cats could get behind the monitor. I was wrong. They did and examining the original TB cable that came with the display showed multiple small puncture holes. Now I have to figure out how to get my cats to reimburse me for a new TB cable. :)
