HP Pavilion dv5 laptop screen goes dimmer on the left hand side.. or the entire screen whites out...

Hi,
I got a hp pavilion dv5 laptop that randomly goes dimmer on the left hand side or the whole screen whites out.

Sometimes I can get it back to normal again or back to just dimmer so I can use it (like now) if I swing the lid/screen forwards or backwards/open or close it more or less/increase or decrease the angle at its hinge.. if any of that makes sense?!

What do you think the problem is and how can I fix it please? Thanks.

It sounds to me like the display panel is dying. If so, not much you van do except replace it.
