I see a Black line on the LCD screen in my Canon A2000IS that is always present. (I am able to see it even when I switch off the camera). Its not affecting the pictures taken but its kinda blocking my view when I try to take in the pictures. The line is a horizontal one almost in the middle of the LCD screen. Could someone please help me and tell how to get rid of this? Thanks..

SOURCE: Canon Powershot A2000IS pictures corrupted be color wash.

This could be a failing SD card causing corruption of the stored files (the SD card isn't an ebay special is it? there have been some very bad quality cards coming from China recently). Recommend first trying another brand of SD card.

After you've tried another card and it's still doing this, then the symptoms could also be impending CCD image sensor failure. Unfortunately you cannot fix this yourself. But as the A2000 is a relatively new camera, it's likely that you've owned it less than one year and it's still under warranty.

If in US or Canada, call 1-800-OK-CANON to arrange for warranty repair.
