i bought this macbook yesterday but when i got it the screen started to flicking. is it the inverterboard/display or what do you think, someone told me I just need to adjust the screen so it would resolve itself.

anyone have any suggestions or know what I should do? it is difficult to do myself, have picked apart bit computers before.

Please answer as fast as possible.

Look at this video the 3rd picture on the website. it shows what the screen does.:mad:

If you just got it yesterday, why don't you go to an Apple Store and tell them what the problem is so that you can exchange it?
 
The problem can not be accurately identified from just that video. You could have a problem with your screen or an issue with the inverter. Do you have AppleCare? Regardless, if you want a definite answer, bring it into the Apple store. You could also try restarting the computer or shutting it down for a while. I've seen a MacBook that turned on with lines all over the screen. I told the person to restart the computer, and it disappeared. You never know.
