MacBook Pro backlight issues

hello everyone I bought a used late 2013 retina MacBook Pro that has some backlight issues everything works until I shut the Mac down or close the screen then when I open the screen I can only very faintly see the screen if I shine with a flashlight opening and closing the screen a few times brings the screen back does anybody have any ideas on what I could do to fix this issue

thank you
