Canon PowerShot A85

I've had my camera for approximately two years. I take good care of it...however, about a month ago I turned it on and no matter what setting I put it on, there are different colored lines moving through a black screen. I have checked the batteries and that doesn't seem to be the problem. Could anyone give me some advice as to what I may be doing wrong or who to contact and how if there is a known problem? Thank you in advance.

Check Canon Technical Support- to see if there is a recall on that model. Otherwise replace the camera

No matter where you purchased it, Canon should honor repair of this under it's warranty (you've only owned it 2 months, it's still under warranty). Recommend contacting Canon repair for your local area, starting your search at WWW.Canon.com.

All I see is vertical scrolling when I turn the camera on to take a picture. It reminds me how tv's use to scroll years ago, and there was no picture.
