LVDS is the digital transmission of a video signal and is what the iDrive screen needs to display it's picture. If there is a "break" in the line that connects the screen to the computer (the CCC module) then it may or may not be a fault in the CCC.
I don't know too much more at this point but there are plenty of video gurus here that will likely chime in -- it's possible that a wire between the two units is bad and if so, that would be much easier (and cheaper) to fix...
