Headunit screen discoloration?

I just noticed yesterday that my Pioneer AVH-P3200BT had a screen discoloration. Like some parts of the screen are like green-ish. I noticed it while trying to play a DVD earlier. Also randomly today it just turned off on its own then it only came back on after I stopped my car and started it up again.

Does anyone know what is wrong with my headunit? I haven't had it for that long. Only like a month or less.

Hopefully you bought it from an authorized dealer, otherwise the warranty's only through the seller.

Yeah, gray-market gear has some risk, hopefully you can get it taken care of.

Hopefully.. it went back to normal and it's been doing okay so far, but idk.. usually when stuff like that happens.. it usually means it's deteriorating

My cell's always in my pocket while I'm in the car and I don't think there would be anything.. hmm..

There's one thing that I never got around to doing though.. I think I never connected that one wire to a power source.. like the FM radio is still pretty unstable and weak.
