For the first time, my MacBook Pro 16 inch monitor which I purchased in 2020 blinked. Is there anything I should look out for after this?
I know my concern may come across as a bit rushed, but for the amount of money I put into this computer, coupled with the fact that many times small issues like this turn out to be bigger issues down the line, I feel this concern is warranted.
By the way, I have my Mac plugged into a UPS device. I also recieved a rain design stand that I have been using since yesterday. Not that this would have anything to do with it.
I read somewhere that many times the MacBook Pro will do this when the sleep mode is altered. Well I have to relearn how to use the new system preferences with the battery since it changed when I updated to Big Sur.
Oh, and another question; is it safe for me to leave my MacBook Pro plugged in all the time? Will the battery last longer if I unplug it?
Sorry for the numerous questions.
