Most laptops have a small ribbon cable or wire loom that connects the bottom half to the upper screen half and after opening and closing it a lot the wires in the cable will sometimes break and cause the flickering. If that's the cause, the only fix that I know of is getting a new one of those cables. They're sometimes hard to find, depending on the manufacturer and the age of the laptop. That would be my guess as to what's wrong though.
