Macbook Pro Retina Screen Problems

Question

In July 2012, I got a Macbook Pro with Retina display with a one year Apple Care plan.
Within the past few months, shortly after my Apple Care ended, I have had a host of problems with the display. Occasionally during use, the entire scren will kind of blank or static out, and just show a ton of gray stripes and eventually flicker back to normal. Also, there are two tiny divits or chips in the screen. The thing is, there was never anything done to prompt these. One day I just opened it, and the first one was there, and a few months later the second one.
Because these are problems I have read about frequently (not to mention the image burning after I close certain programs that has been going on since I got the computer), even though my Apple Care expired, will Apple still repair or replace this, or am I totally out of luck?
Any help given would be really appreciated!

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It makes no changes to your data.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CSeq 'n Cause: -' | tail | awk '/:/{$4=""; print}' | pbcopy
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered.
The output of the command will be automatically copied to the Clipboard. If the command produced no output, the Clipboard will be empty. Paste into a reply to this message.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.
