Red Screen MacBook Pro 13 M1 Startup Issues

Are you experiencing red screen startup issues with your MacBook Pro 13 M1? If so, you’re not alone.

Troubleshooting Tips

– First, try restarting your MacBook Pro. Sometimes a simple reboot can fix the problem.
– If the red screen persists, try resetting the System Management Controller (SMC). To do this, shut down your MacBook Pro, then press and hold the power button for 10 seconds. Release the button, then turn on your MacBook Pro as usual.
– Another step you can take is to boot into Safe Mode to see if the issue is related to any third-party software. To do this, restart your MacBook Pro and hold down the Shift key until the login window appears.
– If the red screen still appears, you may need to reinstall macOS. To do this, restart your MacBook Pro in Recovery mode by holding down Command + R while booting up. From there, you can reinstall macOS Catalina or the latest compatible version.
– It’s also worth checking for any hardware issues that may be causing the red screen. Ensure all cables and connections are secure, and consider running Apple Diagnostics to check for any hardware problems.
– If none of these troubleshooting tips resolve the red screen startup issue, it may be time to contact Apple Support for further assistance.
