Move the display slightly, wiggle it gentle and try pinching it on the bottom outside edges (NOT hard) and see if it flickers then. If it does that could be a loose connection.

Luckily it's a not an expensive part

I recently had a similar problem and I could tap the outer area of the monitor and it would straighten up. That was until it finally gave out completely. I replaced the screen with one I got off eBay and have not had any problems with it since.

If you visit Toshibas web site, follow the links and upgrade your drivers and BIOS then update all of your OS upgrades. Run Speed Disk or Defrag regularly and maybe add a bit more RAM. That will be about as good as it gets after that.
Hope it helps.
