Yesterday when I turned on my computer, my screen starting flickering like crazy. Plugging it into my TV via HDMI miraculously solved it. Today, I woke up and it was there again. I plugged in my HDMI Cable, with no avail this time. [the image appears fine on my tv though].

I am currently backing up all 700GB of data :[ This will take a few hours or days. I am still under warranty; But I wanted to know, what is Apples likely outcome. Are they going to replace the screen or logicboard? or are they most likely to give me a refurb?

I know its best to wipe the SSD, but Id rather not if I dont absolutely have to unless I know for sure that Im getting a refurb replacement. [it takes upwards of 20hours to restore from backup]
