MBP Screen Flickering

    I'm experiencing a problem with my macbook pro display, its started flickering and has started to turn the white parts of the screen a light blueish colour. I've added a screenshot of the google homepage to demonstrate this ( although i dont know if this will show up in the screenshot)
    To discribe it it is like the white on the screen has turned this blueish colour and there is a white shadow on any text or at the edges.
    The backlight for the keyboard has also stopped working.

    Tried ringing apple but they are only open for iphone support on sundays. Does anyone now what could be up with it??

    Screenshot looks fine. That means it's not a problem with the video card. The display and/or video cable is probably at fault.

    Is it still within warranty or do you have AppleCare?

    Then you have nothing to worry about. Whatever is wrong, it is covered. Either contact Apple and they'll collect it, or leave it into an Apple service provider, such as Typetec, CompuB, etc.
