MacBook Pro 2015 backlight issue

Block Image

Currently having an issue with my early 2015 13 inch macbook pro.

The backlight cuts out regularly leaving shadows at the bottom of the screen, as shown in the photo. It comes back on by closing and reopening the screen, or putting it to sleep then turning it back on. The issue occurs quite regularly, some days more than others. I have found it tends to happen more when i’m doing more demanding work on the device.

Thanks.
