    I am having the same problem with my daughters Nintendo DS after my wife dropped it. Lower screen has the vertical lines that never go away. Should I send it in or will a ribbon do the trick?



    The lower screen responds to drawing when no game is put in. The upper screen show what is drawn, so it seems the problem is just a connection. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The connection to the lower screen is probably a bit broken. If you feel up to it you could take your DS apart using a tri winged screwdriver (can be bought from www.whitedog.co.uk/catalog/nintendo-wing-screwdriver/p-1169.html) or you could just send it in for repair.

Funai NLC 3204BC an LCD TV had lines running vertically down the screen for sometime. Now has stopped working completely. Is there such a thing as a 'picture board'?
Your vertical lines is coming from molded buffer attach on lcd screen. This is a factory defect becuase the is a micro-dirt create a gap from the semiconductor. Not worthed to fix becuase you need a new panel. For the power absolutely your power had a output of 5 volts which also has a semiconductor issue.

Distortion in Monitor
Your problem is simply a leaky capacitor on the vertical oscillator circuit on your monitor. Try replacing the ones with 10uF values.
