    It could be one of 2 things:
    1. Internal LCD/LCD Cable failure
    2. GPU/Motherboard failure.

    Try connecting your laptop to an external monitor and see if you get the same problems. If you don't, then it's just the LCD screen on your laptop. If you do, then it's something much more serious (most likely the GPU is failing)
