Hello my macbook is running but it keeps displaying a black screen every couple minutes. I have to close my laptop for several minutes to get it going again but it still happens. The touchbar is still working.

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.12

You do not say what exact Mac /model /year /size is this ?

or

what exact macOS you are currently running?

Is this an ongoing issue, new issue / what changed?

The fundamental is Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379

please advise

1. Stage light effect appears at the bottom of the screen when you set at a high brightness level.
2. Backlight shutdown comes after opening the lid for above at a certain degree.

Stage light effect and backlight shutdown illustrated in the video

Both of them are caused by a fractured display flex cable due to fatigue.
