Can I just bring this in to some shop and get it fixed?

does this mointer have a built in degause button, if so use it. also check to see if any thing around the mointer is putting out a magnetic field. to do this just move things around while the mointer is on and look for and sharpest changes.

Shadows are usually caused by bad cables or -shielding.

Also, if you have a KVM switch, remove it. If it is not good quality, see above..
