Default Nav screen

I have a low mileage 2014 coupe. Went to cruise night today and when leaving to go home the nav screen started flickering. Turned of radio and back on to get blank screen. Everything is working (radio, and usb music) but no backup camera either.
The path icon flickers when I go from park to reverse. I was thinking of disconnecting and reconnecting the battery to see if that would help.
Has anyone experienced this and if so what if any was the fix.
Thanks

Not an uncommon problem with older models - the switch that turns the display on and off (lowered or not lowered) is going....

Yes very common, a few DIY fixes if you search that issue, I was fortunate to get my 2014 nav screen fixed under warranty

Well-documented issue with a TSB available for the dealer. 1st they'll try a software update then likely have to replace the screen.

I have extended warranty good till November. Will call dealer tomorrow for appointment to bring in.
Hope it's something that can be done while waiting as I live 45 miles from dealership.

That's great news, my Dealer subs out the work it'll take a couple hours they have to take the dashboard apart unless they try the firmware thing first but its probably the connection going bad, I was able to get a video of mine when it did it which really helped
