There could be a little damage to the screen cable, or, they might just have become loose , so that as you move the lid, it loses the picture. The cable might just need reseating, or, replacing.

This site offers a video to of a typical replacing of a screen screen, but will show you the cable, too. To get to the rear of the LCD, to access the cable.

It tends to be bent and stretched many times in its life. If it is when you are working on the laptop, and move it about, the cable is often the cause. This does seem to be a common fault- see the Lenova website q/a section Be carefull with the connectors, as they are a little flimsy.

The screen could be faulty, but that is not usually the case. I have had a screen that would go on and off when you twisted the screen slightly, and that one did prove to be faulty.
