M1 MacBook Air screen fading to white when lid is at certain angles

This started 6 months ago, and back then the fading happened at a very small angle when the lid is almost fully open or closed.

Mostly just an inconvenience as restarting fixed that issue for some duration. However overtime the angles that would make the screen fade out become larger and larger.

2 Months ago, restarting stopped working as a solution. I managed to “fix” by opening and closing the lid a few times, and the problem mostly went away until 1 month ago, where suddenly the entire screen except for a very small acute, faded white. I managed to “fix” it again by moving the lid a few times

Then for the past 1 month, the angles at which the screen fades out become completely random, triggered by completely random times and also fixes itself randomly. There was always some angle that made the MacBook usable, until today.

Tried lid moving for the third time, and it no longer works. Waiting for the screen to fix itself is not practical, so I am out of solutions.

So what could the source of the problem? There is no Apple Store in my country, so I’m gonna have to relay on third party services, not to mention my warranty is already up

Only a guess of course because no one can know from a distance, but it could be a ribbon cable?
The one going through the hinge to the screen.
Ribbon cable problems can cause all sorts of screen glitches.
It sounds like it could be fraying or wear, something like that so sometimes you get a good contact, sometimes not.
Go to Ifixit site and see if there's a teardown, it might give you some ideas

Sorry I’m not really knowledgeable on these stuffs, but does that mean I nead to replace the display cable? Can that be done independently or do I need to get the entire screen replaced?
