It is probably a bad display. The LCD is addressed by rows and columns and it sounds like the drive contacts to the display itself have become dirty, or the display-drive electronics are going out. Is the display active or passive? The answer will provide more clues. You can probably find out on Google if you don't already know from the product literature.
