early 2008 Macbook Pro Screen goes crazy

[halledise]

what do you make of this?

a few flickers a few weeks back and now this.

I've read elsewhere:

Looks like your 8600 died. Bring this in with you for reference: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377

"If the NVIDIA graphics processor in your MacBook Pro has failed, or fails within three years of the original date of purchase, a repair will be done free of charge, even if your MacBook Pro is out of warranty."

Notebook is early 08 and so over 3 years and thus out of extended warranty.
would Apple fix this after that amount of time if indeed this is the fault?

(sorry about the pix, for some reason uploading the photos inverts them)
