It sounds like the problem is with the video cable but you will only know where exactly once you have opened the laptop and inspected the cable connections at both ends to make sure they’re both secure and if so then also checked if the cable is damaged where it passes through the laptop hinge to get from the motherboard to the screen.
It is also possible that the problem is in the LCD unit itself. Does the problem also disappear if you tap the lid for example and not actually move it?
Here’s the [link|http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c05695301.pdf|maintenance and service guide] for the laptop that will help.
On p.29 it shows the tools required.
On p.23 Item #3, it shows the part numbers for the cable (depending on type of laptop model, i.e. WLAN (WiFi) or WWAN (SIM card 3G etc). If the cable is the problem search online using the appropriate part number ''only,'' to find suppliers that suit you best.
On p.74 it shows the necessary pre-requisite steps and then the procedure to remove the LCD panel. This will give you access to the video cable which can be seen in the images on p.80
When dis-assembling the laptop, try not to touch anything on the motherboard that you don’t have to and wear a [product|IF145-071|wrist strap] (example only) connected to an earth point to prevent any ESD damage. Keep some jars handy to hold any screws that you have to remove so as not to lose them. It’s amazing how far they bounce when they fall

As always with electronics, be gentle when handling and if something doesn’t go as planned, stop and think about it! Walk away and take a break if you have to. Don’t get frustrated and cause more problems
