so first off, you bought it new ? just exchange it for new one! typically if you got it from a big chain place you should be able to exchange it no problem.
if you cant then you will have no choice to open it. it honestly sounds like the screen ribbon cable is shorting out. best case its just dislodged from the connector.
worst case is its sheered off and loses connection in that one position when you move it.
