F31 - iDrive NO SIGNAL but sound works fine

Hi all, sorry maybe for the duplication of topic but after i took a long search on all forum i haven't found any response to my issue.
I have a 2015 F31 Touring with a MMI for Carplay.
Before i installed the MMI, i started to have the iDrive screen turn off and on right away, but it happened 1 or 2 times only.

Maybe a year ago i started to have the NO SIGNAL issue quiet often and sometimes it takes a few minutes to turn on and then works fine for several hours or other days the screen is turning on and off in a very long loop.

Does anyone found the issue for this or the solution?
The weird thing is that every time it happens i still have sound ( radio or AUX multimedia Spotify ).
There are days that i need to restart the MMI box several times to see if it stops or if the screen turns on.

Thanks for any help.
Cheers

remove mmi and try without the box for a wk or two and if no issues, re-install and if problem comes back, it’s the mmi.

The "No Signal" means you have power going to your MMI and/or the screen but not video signal. Check all the connections: quadlock behind HU, LVDS plugs.

One of the LVDS cables may have a break that is intermittent. Aliepxerss has them cheapest, and EBay for double theirs. Or if still under warranty ask the seller.
