hey guys would require any help possible.
The Issue: So i was just using my mbp and randomly out of the blue the screen goes weird with red lines everywhere and graphics totally distorted a few beeps sounded(did not count) and the laptop restarted. A message then came onscreen "your computer restarted because of problem" it also asked to press any key to continue i did but nothing happened and a few seconds later i was at my login screen. While trying to select my account i realized my trackpad is dead so connected my magic mouse and then i get an onscreen message saying it could not find a keyboard.
I am now using a wireless keyboard and the magic mouse to use the laptop everything seems fine even the power button on the top case functions well infact thats the only thing on the top case that works now.

I would like to run an Apple hardware test and need to know how do i access it using my wireless keyboard - i do not have a usb keyboard.

well heres some history of the mbp in December of 2012 my super drive was replaced while in service they found my webcam to be failing and replaced the display. A week back i had given it again for repairs to fix my burnt/melted magsafe connector.
What could be gone? I have the i7 2.8 ghz 13" mbp late 2011 with protection plan.

Thanks for all the help and sorry for the long post.
