Vertical bands appear on projection image

My projector is aproximatly 9 months old and the lamp runtime is 1300 hours. I turned it on the other day and noticed evenly spaced vertical lines running across the entire length of the image. They are evenly spaced occuring about every 2 inches. The lines make it impossible for me to watch movies or play any games. Anyway i was wondering if anyone could fill me in as to why this is happening and also tell me how i could fix this problem. I hope its not the lamp... Ok thank you very much

I am having the same problem: I replaced the old bulb with a new one and when I turned the projector on, I get the jail-house image (Vertical lines). I called Panasonic and was told it would take 1 - 3 days for s technician to return my call. I am waiting.

Most likely a bad cable could be the color wheel needs to be cleaned.
