My SONY DSC-F717 started malfunctioning after 4 years.

My SONY DSC-F717 started malfunctioning - all the pictures now have thin, white lines across making the pictures hard to see...any advice?
It's not the memory stick as I have replaced it.

After 4 years, it may just need to be serviced. Electronics fail and 4 years is a pretty good life with heavy use. Be advised, however, that if it's out of warranty, it may cost more to repair than it is really worth. The rule of thumb is that if the estimate for repair is north of 50% what you paid for it, you're better off taking that money and buying a newer and upgraded model.

Sounds like the same issue that Canon has gone through. They have a similar service advisory. Nice catch, Chad.
