Sounds like it could be a problem with the video cable that connects the screen to the motherboard.
This shows you how to remove the screen http://www.laptopscreen.com/English/section/FAQ/1297984420/SONY+VAIO+Laptop+LCD+screen+replacement+guide/ so you can check the cable is connected ok.0 -
stoped flickering now but text is not that readable seems to have sections of each word missing so you may be right will look at the cable0

or, the screen or the video chip may be on the way if the cable's okay. Screen = easy and relatively cheap, video chip = bad
Can you connect the lappy to an extrnal monitor ??? If you can and the display is okay, then video chip is ok, it's screen or cable.........Gettin' There, Wherever There is......
I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple
