If the unit is under warranty return it to the vendor. If it is out of warranty, it is likely there is damage to the wiring harness is damaged or the connectors between the motherboard and the display are loose.
This would require opening the notebook up and checking the cable. Hopefully the connectors are loose and can be tightened and secured with some neutral cure silicone.

Though skip the removal of the hard drive from its carrier and only go up to the part where he removes the front panel and check the connectors leading to the display. If they are loose, this may be the issue. If not, proceed to where he removes the display. Then open the display. 2 screws behind the rubber plugs on bottom of display and unclip the rest. Remove the display panel and check the cable for cracks or loose connections. You may find the cable required for your model on HP Partsurfer, though many of the cables for this model are no longer available, if not available, the cable will need to be repaired or secured to stop flexing with movement binding with tape can sometimes achieve this. If you don't want to attempt this, take it to your nearest repairer.

TRY HOOKING AN EXTERNAL MONITOR TO THE LABTOP IF YOU SYSTEM IS EQUIPED FOR THAT TYPE OF USE., IF YOU DONT HAVE ONE, SEE IF ANYONE YOU KNOW WILL LET YOU BORROW UNTIL YOU CAN SOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH YOUR MONITOR.

Take out the battery and try running it on the power adaptor alone. If this works, you have a dead battery. If not there's something more serious wrong in the machine.

Can I switch out the screen to my hp g60 535 dx laptop with a screen from an hp dv6000 laptop

That will be impossible. The screen from the HP Pavilion G60-535dx is a 15.6 CCFL LCD while the one of the DV6000 is 15.4.

I suggest buying a new screen for the DV6000 if you need to. Or go online and trade the screen of the HP G60 and use the fund acquired to get a screen for the DV6000.

Hope this helps.

My laptop display becomes unusable when moving the display. There is only one angle that the display will work

This indicates that the wire bundle running through the hinge has been compromised. Some wire has frayed apart and is making intermittent contact with itself or the lid movement is causing the wire bundle to pull on one of the video connectors.

In order to fix this problem, you will need to remove the notebook's front hinge cover & check the bundle of wires connecting the motherboard to the LCD screen. If this bundle of wires is damaged, then you will have to get it replaced.
