Isnt there an option to black out the screen? Like sleep mode? I feel like there is...mess with the settings and check. Did you buy from a dealer? Maybe they will diagnose for free since you just bought it.
In all seriousness though, if it is an actual hardware issue, you may be better off buying a used CIC. The BMW diagnosis will be like $150-180 then a hardware replacement will already be a few hundred then coding. All of that for a few generation old system. I know lots of money goes into buying a car in the first place, and my wife never lets me buy anything for a few months after a car purchase, but if it were my car I'd put money toward an upgrade.
