1. The problem started possibly around August of 2013 (the last year of my supposed Applecare coverage ending Oct. 19th, 2013) when my laptop displayed sort of "corrupted-like images" like the photo attached above. This issue was recurring a lot.

 

2. My MBP had other problems as well especially when connected to an external HD that results in kernel panics. Therefore, I went to a local Apple Service provider and informed them of these two issues. Diagnostic testing the unit resulted in "supposedly" no issues at all. They recommended to have my unit retained for observation for three days. Sadly, the outcome was similar (no issues) and my apple coverage ended.

 

3. I do not recall but beginning around early 2014 my unit started to have "sudden monitor blackout" issues which occurs randomly. (Imagine the frustration of not being able to update or save files).
