Re: [MacBook] weird video problem on MacBook Pro
Plug it into an external monitor asap and back it up. If it displays similarly on an external it isnt good - but if so try bootimg it in TDM (target disk mode) while plugged into another mac.
Obviously you need these "other" things but Im just considering how you can save your precious data.
Sincerely,

I rebooted holding the shift key and zapped the PRAM and that seemed to make it go away, but since it happened again last night, I'm guessing that wasn't the cause. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the screen itself---like opening or closing it.
