Sounds like the driver board for the backlight is going bad...is there a spot on the screen part of the case ( usually at the bottom) that feels much warmer than the rest?
The first thing to do is check for part availability and price - you may not be able to get the board, or price may be more than it's worth to repair the laptop. Ebay is where I usually look first. You might be able to pick up the whole top half for a decent price, and just change that. Backlight drivers are usually 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch wide, and 4-6 inches long, and have all wires on 2 plugs, in and out. Screen dis-assembly is very tricky, lots of VERY small screws, so be patient and thorough so nothing more gets broken.
It's not a simple task, but not impossible, either.
Just remember CCF's are high voltage (low current), so make sure there is no power to the system, or it will sting!!
Good Luck!!
