That is very odd. Have you tried resetting the Mac's PRAM? That solves a lot of problems, and just might solve yours.

Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM

Also if you can connect it to an external screen and run a hardware test, that would be great: Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test

Keep us posted.

@tulsi- Personally i could care less due to this is not relevant to my situation. But i am glad to see somebody else getting off the Pc bandwagon

@Tarek- Okay so i tried resetting the the Mac's PRAM and it didn't do anything to the screen. and i also tried to connect an external monitor to the laptop and it acted like it wasn't connected to the monitor. I dot know what is going on.

How are you connecting it to the external monitor? And what is your MacBook Pro's graphics card model? Is it a GeForce 8600M GT, perhaps?

i am using a dvi to vga connector from apple then a vga cable to the monitor. I tried to see what graphics card it was and it didn't show that it had one? :-/
