Strobing (flickering) Idrive screen

My x5's navigation/Idrive monitor has begun flickering at times and it's driving me nuts. I'm wondering If any of you have ever encountered this scenario before?

It happens 98% of the time when the vehicle is powered up, but not running.
It happens when I slow the vehicle down or come to a stop.
It does not normally happen in cruising speeds (but has on occasion).
It appears to be related to the backlighting? None of my other dash lights flicker at all. Only isolated to the nav screen.

I am not sure if it is a faulty monitor, nav unit, cable from nav to monitor, or if it's battery related or vehicle electronics related.

I just bought this used car and I remember seeing a notice on the Idrive that the battery had recently been disconnected.

Any thoughts anyone?
