Hi there, I'm new to the forum so apologies if this issue has been discussed already elsewhere.

I was just wondering if anyone can help me with a problem...

I've had my 15" Macbook Pro for about a month now (bought brand new from the apple store online). It had been working fine, until all of a sudden last night I discovered this problem.

Essentially what happens is these little blue lines and dots seem to appear all over the display, running vertically. As well as this, the screen is flickering a lot. I'm not doing anything intensive with the macbook, simply surfing the web or doing nothing at all, but it does this immediately upon start up.

Fortunately I haven't experienced the black bar problems that some people have mentioned on the apple support forums that apparently accompany these symptoms, not yet anyway.

Could anyone please advise me on what I should do to solve this problem?

Any suggestions, help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I am a complete Macbook n00b so plain english would be greatly appreciated! Cheers 🙂
 
It's not your screen, most likely it is a defective GPU. Most people have seen green lines, but I think blue would be the same. Apple will fix it for you.
