HP Laptop Screen Issue

Hi everyone!

A friend of mine is having trouble with her laptop's screen, I'm pretty sure it's hardware related, since she is able to use it at a certain angle. But as soon as she pushes the screen back a little more, the screen starts flickering black, like blinking, what might this be? Is it a hinge problem? Thank you all!

 

PS: The laptop is the HP 15-r137wm

The ribbon cable connecting the screen to the laptop is probably loose or damaged.

No way to know for sure where unless you open it up.
