I've had my MacBook Pro 2.2GHz 13.3" display, 2GB mem, 667MHz for about three or so weeks now. I went out on a nature shoot and came back, plugged my CF Card reader into the USB port and was about to upload some pictures.
Right as I did, the monitor just went crazy. It got these little lines going vertical, across the screen, as well as the color looking faded and has either a blue, pink or green tint to it. It changes every now and then..
It's very hard to describe what I'm seeing. I can barely read the text on my screen and I need to use this for my shoots. Is there any quick fixes for this? I would prefer it if I didnt have to send it into Apple for repairs. I will if I have to but I wanted to check before I did if there was a way to fix it myself first. For the record, I did already attempt to reset the PRAM.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hardware issue, call Apple to get it replaced.
