Drop it or anything like that? A loose connection would be weird without something pushing it that way. Could just be dying. I doubt a driver, unless it got corrupted, but re-installing the latest video drivers certainly wouldn't hurt. But anyway, the screen is attached to the MB with a flat ribbon cable, and if that becomes loose or even a tad detached, you can see that issue. Do you know how to take it apart and put it back together if you go to check? Do you know anyone in the business that can help for a lower rate? I'm afraid that a small company or similar will tell you anything to make money even if it's a small issue. But screens are expensive to replace and it would be better to replace the laptop in most cases. (that's IF the screen is dying).

It's hard to say without being in front of it.
