Hi there.
I'm not entirely sure if this is in the appropriate forum, if it isn't - sorry!
So for the past few weeks I've been having an issue with my Macbook Pro. I bought this computer is January 2009 so it isn't too old. Essentially, my screen will intermittently freeze before quickly 'fading'. I think fading is the best way to describe it but what is happening is the colours seem to be changing. It goes from a white to a blue colour in a matter of seconds.
Everything else seems to be working fine. That is to say, I can experience the screen 'fading' and still type. My music will still play. By the way, I have reset the PRAM. This 'fading' can happen a few times with in a matter of minutes then stop for a few hours. It can stop for days too. Other times it will be constant so it's rather unpredictable. I barely take the laptop anywhere so I haven't banged it on anything so I'm at a loss as to what could have happened.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and can offer any advice? I mean, I could technically get it fixed/pay someone but I will probably just buy a new computer. But ideally I'd like this one to continue working.
I've uploaded a video of this too to give you all a better idea. Sorry for the really long winded post, too.
Thanks in advance!

Ps. I forgot to mention that tapping it or moving the screen often sorts out the problem but this is only a temporary solution.
