Sounds like your backlight is on its way out.
or you have a loose connection for your screen
try reseating cable to screen if you feel condident to dismantle. otherwise advise getting a techy to it.

You need to track down a service manual for your laptop.
it involves removing the back of the laptop and possibley opening your screen.
i'm assuming its not within warranty.
