Help Help: Pattern Screen Lock Problem on S2

Hello,

Hoping someone can help me!
Bought a galaxy S2 a month ago and all was fine.

I put a pattern screen lock on and it worked perfectly until a couple of days ago, a white line started showing up horizontally along the top quarter of the screen. Today, it has become more problematic. When I now try and enter my pattern, it doesn't show me what I'm entering. What I mean is, the points do not light up green (or red) as I slide my finger over them. Why would this be? Luckily it still reads my pattern and as long as I do it right, which is hard when you can't see what it's reading, I can still unlock my phone.

I've tried disabling the lock then putting it back on. I've tried turning the phone off and taking the battery out but it doesn't help.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything I can do?

Thanks :)
