Could be a be connection between the display cable and the LCD, or just 
simply the display cable or the LCD's control board have developed a 
short.  Either way, it's fixable - the questions are cost and whether 
the part(s) can be located (LCDs are usually simple and the price keeps 
improving).

If you're in a position to do so, connect the laptop to an external 
monitor and confirm that the problem is isolated to the built-in display 
panel.
