Lines across view screen & on pictures; looks like interferance.

I've had my camera about 5 years. It's worked fine until about a month ago. The only way to describe the problem is that it looks like static interferance on the screen. After I take the shot, the picture has fine lines on it & looks over-exposed. Any suggestions of what might be wrong? Thanks.

    My Canon Power Shot A85 is doing the same thing. I have lines across the screen and it looks like Icicles coming down from the top. Sometimes the pictures are elongated.

    The screen has static pinkish horizontal lines. When I review the image the screen displays vertical lines on the picture. I have sent an email to the canon site I will see what happens.

    I just wanted to let you guys know that I did contact Canon as you suggested & the problem was the CCD Imager Sensor. ;o) I sent the camera to Canon, they fixed it (free of charge) & now I can go back to taking clear pictures again. Thanks again for your help!

Fine interference lines running diagonally across picture.

Hi There,
Sounds like your Horizontal Output Circuit is leaking current causing diagonal lines across the screen. I hope this will help and thank you for using FixYa!

PURPLE LINES SHOWING ON SCREEN WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TAKE PHOTOS

Your camera likely needs a new CCD imaging sensor. It is a cute little thing and is very expensive to replace. I've seen deals to repair any digital camera on eBay and I would check for a local repair person in your area. You can use the search on this site to see who might be close by. I have an A310 doing the same thing.
