Have you tried holding down 'R' on start up?
That forces a screen reset.

I dropped it off at the apple store, the genius took it from me and said about 3-4 business days, turns out i had an extended warranty after-all. It's probably a loose wire. I tried removing the battery and rebooting the PRAM and w/e.

this is a well known issue with the nvidia graphics cards used in the portables.
my experiences
after having a grand total of 7 Apple devices (iBook, 3 PowerBook G4s, 1 Macbook Pro, and 2 iPod Touches) all die on me through no fault of my own, i do not touch Apple hardware.

I love my iMac but I am very leery of getting a Mac notebook. There are too many complaints about build quality and fragility. For my next portable I'm going to get another Asus. My Z71V has lasted 5 years and the only problem is a broken hinge that I still have to get sorted with some epoxy putty.
Best thing about Mac is no audio problems. I have had absolutely no issue with latency, crackling, popping or even sound being interrupted by launching other programs. I will miss the no-fuss audio if I get a PC notebook.

I couldn't see them using that in their technology. It has something to do with their legal battles with google most likely.

Strangely enough, apple and scientology both seem to like pursue their rivals with massive lawsuits, regardless of how small the issue is.

This has happened to so many people I know that I stay well away from Mac stuff. I like the fact that if my PC has issues I can go buy a new piece of kit, open the mafucker up and get it working again immediately without spending fuckloads of cash

I am the same way. The iMacs are built like tanks. I have a glass-top desk and had tilted the whole computer forward to reach one of the USB jacks on the back (stupid, I know), and the slick metal case slipped on the desk and the whole computer crashed down onto my keyboard in front of it. I haven't had a single problem since this happened, even though I was sure I would have cracked the screen or damaged the hard drive or something. I've had the same experience with the audio, too. When I used to use a PC with a USB-midi interface, no matter what I tried (messing with buffer size, etc) I could not get the latency low enough to make a note-on instantaneous without crackles/distortion. On my mac, I instantly get zero-latency without touching a single setting and the audio quality is great.

yeah my MBPro is more than two years old now and i've been milking the thing pretty hard, doing lots of try and error things with code, for example fucking around with OpenGL where i often had to hard-reset the machine when it froze.
It also took a lot of motion from carrying it around.
So no problems at all. Could use a thorough inside out cleansing and the battery is pretty much done though.
It doesn't appear to be on the verge of breaking down at all, and i sure hope it doesn't any time soon as i could not afford sufficient replacement.

Only mac users would be stupid enough to think that the adds are more enjoyable than the rest of the content.

My job consists of turning on a computer in the morning then sitting at a desk for 9 hours a day acting like I'm doing anything with it. Would I get more money if it was a Mac rather than a PC running XP? What would I get for running some command line Linus shit? Ideally the more complicated it looked on the screen, the more complicated I could make out it was to do simple tasks like, check email. Maybe if I get an iPad I can do nothing more stylishly whilst downloading apps. Apps. Apps. I can't say the word Apps enough, no matter how often other people say "apps"
