Hit my MBPr with something hard and the entire screen started crazy glitching and the impacted area is doing the multicolor dance. It's severely F'd up. I think there's a hairline pinhole type crack but not sure as I had to quickly get to the store.

I'm not covered but still took it to an auth repair place here. Can't take it to Apple.

What part of the display causes the glitching? LCD? Entire assembly needs replacing right? There is compression on the point of impact? The entire screen is glitching white and the point of impact is glitching multicolors. Only the top menu area was readable so I was able to save all docs. Well I could've anyway with OS X save state so I guess it didn't matter.
