My laptop screen has started flashing when typing or getting bumped. Is this something I can fix?

My warranty ran out a couple weeks ago, and now my screen has started flashing to white with lines whenever the table gets bumped, someone walks by, or even when typing sometimes. Is this a screen connection problem that I can fix myself, or do I need to take it somewhere?
