Is this the brown/orange ribbon cable inside the front headunit? I did take my original unit apart, unplugged the ribbon cable from the board and re-seated it, with no improvement.
If it's that, it would mean both ribbon cables were faulty (on my original unit and the one from ebay). The ebay unit was sold as fully working, but I guess I won't know unless I connect it to another X5 and see if it still flickers.
