Colored lines and spaces in lcd and view finder

Sony DSC F717s manufactured from 2002 to 2004 had a CCD chip with an epoxy base that gave off a gas vapor if overheated (eg in a hot car in summer). Sony was replacing these faulty CCDs with a new one on a ceramic base, however, this free repair program has been discontinued by Sony.

http://www.imaging-resource.com/badccds.html

The above link will take you to a web page by Imaging Resources explaining the problem they found. It has some photos of an LCD displaying a view from an affected camera. This is no solution for you, rather a diagnosis. There is a YouTube video showing someone replacing one of these faulty CCDs. It's less than 10 minutes, real time.

Blurry image in view finder

Digital Camera and Video Phone Number 1 800 222 7669 - it's automated, just say your model number, then "no" to accessories, then "no" to connection problems, then "picture" for ccd issues. Its that easy!

F717 LCD Display Problem

Yep, sounds like a bad connection on the display's internal cable. Need to check and see if the Electronic View Finder also shows the lines. If it does, then it may be a sensor problem, instead. If not, then the display has a bad connection or has gone bad itself. In either case, it's not a trivial issue.
