Display malfunctions, possibly loose wire. Is a home fix possible?

On my Acer iconia one 7 model B-770 tablet, the screen often begins flickering and distorting with static, having contrast problems (getting too bright), and simply displaying a black screen. The tablet still registers input during these malfunctions and otherwise functions fine. I believe that this is a hardware problem as when I put some pressure on the left border of the tablet from the middle up to the camera, the problem seems to stop. Can anyone explain the problem or provide a fix?

thanks in advance
