When it jumps it blinks and jumps for about 2sec and goes back to normal for about 5sec... repeat repeat... sometimes it stops, sometimes it goes forever...

Well I mean more if you just wiggle it between vertical and slightly closed.

Laptops generally have really shitty low AWG ribbon cables between the GPU and the display.

Most probable place for a failure. Flickering while moving the display slightly would indicate that.
