Mac mini 4 external portable screen problem

by Poster May 30, 2025 33
Please help, I recently purchased the cheapest 4k portable screen with national subsidy, but the mac mini 4 does not support a type c external monitor + power supply (another external cable is needed for power supply). Similarly, the m1macbook and m1 mac mini are both normal, (cable A Thunderbolt 4 miscellaneous cable, and a Thunderbolt 5 sticker cable from a sugar factory), use the power supply test (both are probably around 5W)

    @ Poster # 20 5V 1A is not normal, and it is also possible that the display will not start if it cannot reach the rated voltage of the display

    @ Anonymous357 # 19 is also a m4 pro? I also doubted it before, but when I tested other normally lit ones (m1), they were not very high? About 5.5 W

    @ Poster # 22 I'm M4. Anyway, my screen can't be connected to one line, so I have to connect it to the power supply, otherwise the brightness will be too low.

    @ Anonymous357 # 23 m4 pro has no signal on the blue screen, and I haven't paid attention to the brightness problem. My phenomenon is the same as in the video, and the monitor is similar, https://i.imgur.com/N9E3iZ2. png (the difference is that mine is mac mini)

    At present, it has been concluded that there is almost no one that can connect with the 5-point problem of Thunder and Lightning. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255844359? sortBy = rank I also encountered it from mac studio m2 to m4 and have to be powered separately.

    @ Anonymous1695 In order to fight for the future, I chose m4 pro, Thunderbolt V, https://i.imgur.com/NIvxivj. png I didn't expect to encounter this troubling problem https://i.imgur.com/NIvxivj. png

    @ Poster Me too, so when I want to use it, I can only use double wires, which is uncomfortable.
