Screen black out when raising to 90 degrees.

[TIGGLEonthetum]

Just today my screen on my MacBook Pro 13 inch 2016 four port has started to black out if the screen is raised to 90 degrees. If I close it and open it again the screen comes back to life, but inconsistently. Anytime it goes to 90 degrees it blacks out again. Is this the problem that the apple repair program - https://support.apple.com/en-hk/13-inch-macbook-pro-display-backlight-service is addressing.
Many thanks in advance.

Well, I had time to take my computer in to Apple a few days ago. They immediately agreed it was a known problem and replaced the screen without charge. They took it at 11:30 am and it was ready at 7:30pm the same day.
