The display for this particular laptop doesn't light up unless it's at a certain angle. Is there anything I do myself to fix the problem?

If you haven't disassembled the system, it likely isn't a loose connection. However, if the system has been "serviced" lately it could be.

BTW, a Google Shopping search of "hp dv5 display" will provide multiple sources for a replacement screen for your system.

Thanks for your input. The system displays perfectly when connected to a monitor.

It displays fine on the laptop as well when the display is angled a certain way. I figure it's just a finicky connection of some sort but don't want to open it up poking around without asking for advice first.
