iDrive Screen, Radio, iDrive Buttons Died

I have a 2012 528i with 101,000 miles. Ran an errand today and, when I got back in the car, the following went out completely:

*iDrive screen - completely black
*Radio - Buttons would not work, no sound, etc
*iDrive command dial and buttons - presumably are not working

I'm just beginning to research this issue. Solutions tend to be one of the following:

*Reboot the unit

*Sign of a hardware failure - with replacement costs running from $500 for DIY to $2000+ at the dealership

*Fuse replacement (haven't read anything where that has permanently resolved the problem though)

I'll post any updates as I work through this issue, but any additional insight would be appreciated.

Thank you.
