Multi coloured lines all through display

One answer time for a new camera the cost to repair is about the same as new.

Hi Shannon,

I don't have good news for you. Coloured vertical lines is a symptom of terminal failure of LCD screens. Most common in laptops, monitors, and TVs. Problem only gets worse with time with more lines appearing, then expanding to cover a whole side of the screen. 30 - 50% normally.

Your display is faulty. Check out ebay for a replacement. Changing the display is straight forward. If you get your display we can instruct you on replacing it.
Hope that helps.

hi
just clean the 15 pin connector in the cpu end

The most common problem is the photo conductor unit. What ever color the line is change that unit. The Photoconductors are a customer repalcment item.

Although I still have the problem to a slight extent (very slight wavering of the vertical lines going from dark to light or white) reducing the contrast from 100% to 80% seemed to do the trick. Although this monitor is on the way out, it has lasted about 7-8 years now, at least it will keep going for a while.

With half of the screen working, and with a Plasma tv. I will look at the driver board as being bad. Take the back cover off, the driver pcb will be at the top or bottom of the set. They are only about 2 inches tall and will cover most of the lenth of the set (2 boards that run end to end). The board that is on the side of the tv that is bad is the bad board. Replace that board or have a tech replace it.

Check the cable to the back of the LCD and also where the cable connects to the motherboard on your laptop. These can come loose over time from the lid being opened and closed and will cause the fault you describe.
If the cable has moved out of the back of the panel itself, then apply a small amount of tape to hold it in place once pushed back in where it should be.
CAUTION NOTE:
These screens are fragile. Take extreme care when inside.

you may need a new set of drivers..get them here, follow links to Canon icon
