Electronics and displays shutting off

[kumori04]

Anyone ever experience this? Happened twice to me recently:

Driving normally on the highway. Suddenly, all the warning lights around the gauge cluster light up, and then the entire panel shuts off. Speedometer, HUD, warning lights, even the M logo. Turns back on after a couple of seconds, then shuts off once more. It didn't seem to affect the actual mechanics of the car, as I was able to drive it off the highway and stop normally.

A couple of days afterward, I start up the car in the morning. This time, the navigation display - after starting up normally - just shuts itself off and appears to reboot itself.

Everything's been okay since then. Just seeing if this is a shared problem, or if anyone know what could be causing it.

I'm getting this exact problem. It's happened twice, separated by a couple of months.

Any idea what was the specific fix they did? what was written on the work order?
