No it is not a bad memory chip. The fact you can see the image when using a flashlight is the classic symptom (and troubleshooting method) of the inverter and/or CCFL (florescent backlighting bulb) in the monitor failing. The computer itself is fine.
You failed to tell us if this is a notebook or PC. If a notebook, you can connect an external monitor. If a PC, swap out monitors.
Inverter and bulbs can typically be replaced for $50 - $150 for parts, plus 1 hour (2 max) for labor. Many repair shops have a flat rate as this is a common job.

Its a laptop. My computer shop offered me 230.00 for it as a trade in on another computer. May just do that.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Well, if you don't need a portable computer, you can just attach a regular monitor to it and use it as a desktop.
