Ok, so I just purchased I powerbook 15' yesterday... and I love it. But, I noticed that when I change power settings (via menu bar) my screen "warps" until I press a key or click the mouse. I don't mind it because it's only for a second... but i was wondering if this happend to anyone else?

My 17" pb had an issue where the screen shifted pixels with some horizontal lines when I inserted or removed the power cable (this changes the power settings automatically). Applecare had me send it in for a logic board replacement.

Yeah... that's what mine does. But, when I remove the powercord, it's fine. And my powersettings are dramatically different when using battery compared to a/c power. So do you think that I should call apple care or go to the apple store and have them check it out?
